• Wavelength specifications: 625nm Red, 528nm Green, 458nm Blue, 4000K White
• Package type: 2020 (5050 Metric) surface mount
• Physical dimensions: 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint with 3.15mm maximum seated height
• Test current compatibility: 350mA operation across all color channels
• Mounting interface: Surface mount technology

The identified substitute part XMLDCL-00-0000-00C4ABCE5 maintains identical color configuration, wavelength specifications, package dimensions, and mounting type. Both parts share the same 2020 (5050 Metric) footprint and are compatible with identical PCB layouts. The substitute represents an upgraded generation (XM-L® Gen 2) within the same product family, offering improved electrical performance while maintaining mechanical and optical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The XMLDCL-00-0000-00C4ABCE5 is the direct substitute for the obsolete XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C2ABCB1. Both parts are manufactured by CreeLED, Inc. and share identical RGBW color configuration, wavelength specifications, and 2020 (5050 Metric) package dimensions. The substitute part is classified as Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The XMLDCL-00-0000-00C4ABCE5 represents the XM-L® Gen 2 generation and offers improved electrical efficiency with lower forward voltages across all color channels and higher maximum current ratings (1.75A versus 1A). The substitute delivers higher luminous flux output at the same 350mA test current, particularly in the green and white channels. Thermal resistance is significantly improved (0.8°C/W versus 4.6°C/W), providing better heat dissipation characteristics.

Both parts are RoHS Compliant and suitable for applications requiring RGBW LED functionality in compact surface mount form factors. The identical mechanical footprint and mounting interface ensure direct PCB compatibility without layout modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the XMLDCL-00-0000-00C4ABCE5 be used as a direct replacement for the XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C2ABCB1?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical RGBW color configuration, wavelength specifications (625nm Red, 528nm Green, 458nm Blue, 4000K White), and 2020 (5050 Metric) package dimensions. The PCB footprint and mounting interface are identical, requiring no layout modifications.

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

A: The XMLDCL-00-0000-00C4ABCE5 (Gen 2) features lower forward voltages across all color channels compared to the XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C2ABCB1. Red channel: 2.1V versus 2.25V; Green channel: 2.6V versus 3.3V; Blue channel: 2.9V versus 3.1V; White channel: 2.9V versus 3.1V. Maximum current rating increases from 1A to 1.75A across all channels.

Q: How do the optical outputs compare?

A: At 350mA test current, the XMLDCL-00-0000-00C4ABCE5 delivers higher luminous flux in red (80lm versus 67lm), green (155lm versus 101lm), and white (145lm versus 90lm) channels. Blue channel output is comparable (23lm versus 27lm).

Q: Are there thermal performance differences?

A: Yes. The XMLDCL-00-0000-00C4ABCE5 has significantly improved thermal resistance of 0.8°C/W compared to 4.6°C/W for the XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C2ABCB1, providing superior heat dissipation.

Q: What is the product status difference?

A: The XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C2ABCB1 is classified as Obsolete, while the XMLDCL-00-0000-00C4ABCE5 is Active. The Active status ensures continued availability and supply chain support.

Q: Are both parts RoHS Compliant?

A: The XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C2ABCB1 is confirmed RoHS Compliant. RoHS compliance status for the XMLDCL-00-0000-00C4ABCE5 is not specified in the provided data.

Q: Can existing driver circuits be used with the substitute part?

A: The identical test current specification (350mA) and compatible maximum current rating (1.75A versus 1A) support use with existing driver circuits. Lower forward voltages in the substitute part may reduce power dissipation in current-limiting circuits.
