Engineering Selection Recommendations

The XMLDCL-00-0000-00C4ACAE5 is the direct substitute for the obsolete XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C2ACAB1. Selection is based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C2ACAB1 is classified as Obsolete, making long-term supply unavailable. The XMLDCL-00-0000-00C4ACAE5 is Active and represents the current generation equivalent within the XLamp® XM-L product family.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts share identical package specifications (2020/5050 Metric), mounting type (Surface Mount), and physical dimensions, ensuring direct PCB compatibility without layout modifications.

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical color configuration (RGBW), wavelength specifications, and test current ratings, ensuring functional equivalence in color mixing and light output control applications.

Compliance: Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and HTSUS code 8541.41.0000, maintaining regulatory consistency.

Performance Improvements: The XMLDCL-00-0000-00C4ACAE5 Gen 2 variant offers improved thermal resistance (0.8°C/W vs. 4.6°C/W), higher maximum current ratings (1.75A vs. 1A), and enhanced luminous efficiency across all color channels, providing superior thermal management and design margin in new applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the XMLDCL-00-0000-00C4ACAE5 be used as a direct replacement for the XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C2ACAB1 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical 2020 (5050 Metric) surface mount packages with matching physical dimensions and pin configurations. No PCB layout modifications are required.

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

A: The XMLDCL-00-0000-00C4ACAE5 is the Gen 2 variant offering improved thermal resistance (0.8°C/W vs. 4.6°C/W), higher maximum current capability (1.75A vs. 1A per channel), and enhanced luminous efficiency. The XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C2ACAB1 is Obsolete; the XMLDCL-00-0000-00C4ACAE5 is Active.

Q: Are the forward voltage characteristics compatible?

A: The XMLDCL-00-0000-00C4ACAE5 exhibits lower typical forward voltages across all color channels (Red: 2.1V vs. 2.25V; Green: 2.6V vs. 3.3V; Blue: 2.9V vs. 3.1V; White: 2.9V vs. 3.1V). Driver circuits designed for the XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C2ACAB1 will operate the XMLDCL-00-0000-00C4ACAE5 within specification. Verify current limiting resistor or driver output compliance for your specific application.

Q: Do both parts have identical color wavelengths?

A: Yes. Both parts specify identical wavelengths: 625nm Red, 528nm Green, 458nm Blue, and 4000K White. Color mixing and output characteristics remain consistent.

Q: What is the viewing angle difference?

A: The XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C2ACAB1 has a 130° viewing angle; the XMLDCL-00-0000-00C4ACAE5 has a 120° viewing angle. This represents a 10° reduction in beam spread. Verify optical requirements for your application.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity or RoHS compliance differences?

A: The XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C2ACAB1 specifies MSL 1 (Unlimited) and RoHS Compliant status. The XMLDCL-00-0000-00C4ACAE5 data does not specify these parameters. Consult the manufacturer datasheet for complete compliance documentation.
