XMLBWT-00-0000-000PS50E8 LED XLamp® XM-L2 Warm White 2700K Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The XMLBWT-00-0000-000PS50E8 is a CreeLED XLamp® XM-L2 series surface mount LED featuring warm white 2700K color temperature in a 2020 (5050 metric) package. This component delivers 177 lm at 85°C under 700mA test current with a forward voltage of 2.72V and 89 lm/W efficiency. The part is currently active in production status and RoHS compliant. Substitute parts are necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when alternative thermal or electrical characteristics are required for specific application constraints, or when inventory from alternative manufacturers is preferred.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the XMLBWT-00-0000-000PS50E8 is constrained by the following critical parameters:

Package Compatibility: All substitute parts must use the 2020 (5050 metric) surface mount package with identical footprint dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm) to ensure PCB compatibility without redesign.

Electrical Compatibility: Forward voltage (Vf) and current ratings must be within acceptable operating ranges for the application circuit. The XMLBWT operates at 2.72V typical with a 700mA test current and 3A maximum rating.

Color Temperature & CRI: The XMLBWT is specified as warm white 2700K with CRI 85. Substitute parts listed (PSL0102WBEB1 and PSL0102WBEC1) operate at cool white 5000K with CRI 80 and CRI 90 respectively. These represent different color temperature families and are not direct functional equivalents for applications requiring warm white output.

Regulatory Compliance: All substitute parts must maintain RoHS and REACH compliance status equivalent to or exceeding the main part.

Product Status: The XMLBWT is active production status, while both listed substitutes (PSL0102WBEB1 and PSL0102WBEC1) are obsolete. This status difference affects long-term availability and supply chain planning.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Consideration - Color Temperature Mismatch: The listed substitute parts PSL0102WBEB1 and PSL0102WBEC1 operate at 5000K (cool white) versus the XMLBWT's 2700K (warm white) specification. This represents a fundamental difference in light output characteristics and is not suitable for applications requiring warm white illumination.

Electrical Parameter Differences: The PSL0102 series operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 120mA test current and 200mA maximum current, compared to the XMLBWT's 2.72V and 700mA/3A ratings. These differences require circuit redesign and are not pin-compatible substitutions.

Product Status Impact: The XMLBWT maintains active production status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability. Both PSL0102 variants are obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited remaining inventory. For new designs or long-term production, the XMLBWT is the preferred choice.

Regulatory Compliance: Both substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting regulatory requirements equivalent to the main part.

Packaging Format: The XMLBWT is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format suitable for automated assembly, while PSL0102 variants are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format, which may require different handling in production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PSL0102WBEB1 or PSL0102WBEC1 be used as direct replacements for XMLBWT-00-0000-000PS50E8?

A: No. While both part families share the 2020 (5050 metric) package footprint, they differ significantly in color temperature (2700K warm white vs. 5000K cool white), forward voltage (2.72V vs. 3.3V), and current ratings (700mA/3A vs. 120mA/200mA). Direct substitution requires circuit redesign and is not recommended for applications requiring warm white output.

Q: What is the primary reason these parts are listed as substitutes?

A: The PSL0102 series parts are listed as substitutes based on shared package geometry and surface mount compatibility. However, the significant differences in electrical characteristics and color temperature mean they are suitable only for applications where cool white illumination is acceptable and circuit modifications are feasible.

Q: Why is the XMLBWT listed as active while the PSL0102 variants are obsolete?

A: Product status reflects manufacturing lifecycle. The XMLBWT remains in active production by CreeLED, ensuring continued availability. The PSL0102 series from ROHM Semiconductor has been discontinued, limiting future supply to existing inventory only.

Q: Are there thermal considerations when substituting these parts?

A: Yes. The XMLBWT specifies 2.5°C/W thermal resistance, while the PSL0102 variants do not provide thermal resistance data. Additionally, the PSL0102 has a maximum seated height of 0.039" (1.00mm) versus the XMLBWT's 0.124" (3.15mm), which may affect thermal management in the application.

Q: What packaging format differences exist between these parts?

A: The XMLBWT is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format for automated pick-and-place assembly. The PSL0102 variants are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format, which requires different handling and may not be compatible with standard automated assembly equipment.

Q: Do all parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. The XMLBWT is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Both PSL0102 variants are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting equivalent or higher regulatory requirements.
