Compliance: Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and HTSUS code 8541.41.0000. The XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C2AAAC1 is confirmed RoHS Compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the XMLDCL-00-0000-00C3AAAE7 be used as a direct replacement for the XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C2AAAC1 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical 2020 (5050 Metric) surface mount packaging with matching footprint dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm) and seated height (3.15mm maximum). No PCB layout modifications are required.

Q: What are the key electrical differences between these parts?

A: The XMLDCL-00-0000-00C3AAAE7 features lower typical forward voltages across all color channels (2.1V Red vs. 2.25V, 2.6V Green vs. 3.3V, 2.9V Blue vs. 3.1V, 2.9V White vs. 3.1V) and higher maximum current ratings (1.75A vs. 1A per channel). Test current remains constant at 350mA per channel.

Q: How do the color specifications differ?

A: Both parts deliver identical wavelengths for Red (625nm), Green (528nm), and Blue (458nm) channels. The white channel differs slightly: the XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C2AAAC1 operates at 3200K (warm white), while the XMLDCL-00-0000-00C3AAAE7 operates at 2950K (warmer white). This represents a minor color temperature shift suitable for most lighting applications.

Q: What is the significance of the thermal resistance difference?

A: The XMLDCL-00-0000-00C3AAAE7 thermal resistance of 0.8°C/W is substantially lower than the XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C2AAAC1 at 4.6°C/W. This improvement reduces junction temperature rise during operation, extending LED lifespan and enabling higher sustained brightness levels in thermally constrained designs.

Q: Are there viewing angle differences?

A: Yes. The XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C2AAAC1 provides a 130° viewing angle, while the XMLDCL-00-0000-00C3AAAE7 provides a 120° viewing angle. The 10° reduction may affect light distribution in wide-angle applications but remains suitable for most general lighting and display applications.

Q: Why is the XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C2AAAC1 classified as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The XMLDCL-00-0000-00C3AAAE7 represents the current generation replacement with improved performance characteristics and active manufacturing support.

Q: What packaging format is the XMLDCL-00-0000-00C3AAAE7 supplied in?

A: The XMLDCL-00-0000-00C3AAAE7 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, standard for high-volume surface mount assembly operations.
