Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C3AAC02 is determined by the following criteria:

  • Color Configuration: RGBW (Red, Green, Blue, White - Cool) with matching wavelengths (625nm Red, 528nm Green, 458nm Blue, 6850K White)
  • Package / Case: 2020 (5050 Metric) surface mount package
  • Physical Dimensions: 0.197" L x 0.197" W (5.00mm x 5.00mm) with maximum seated height of 0.124" (3.15mm)
  • Electrical Compatibility: Test current of 350mA per color channel and maximum current ratings
  • Compliance: RoHS Compliant status and MSL rating

The XMLDCL-00-0000-00C5AAC02 meets these substitution criteria as an active product from the same manufacturer with identical color configuration, wavelength specifications, package dimensions, and compliance certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The XMLDCL-00-0000-00C5AAC02 is the direct substitute for the obsolete XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C3AAC02. Both parts are manufactured by CreeLED, Inc., share identical RGBW color configuration with matching wavelength specifications, and are packaged in the same 2020 (5050 Metric) surface mount form factor with identical physical dimensions.

The XMLDCL-00-0000-00C5AAC02 is classified as Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The substitute part represents an advancement within the XLamp® XM-L product family (Gen 2 variant) and maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility at the specified test current of 350mA per color channel.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the XMLDCL-00-0000-00C5AAC02 be used as a direct replacement for the XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C3AAC02?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical RGBW color configuration, wavelength specifications (625nm Red, 528nm Green, 458nm Blue, 6850K White), package dimensions (2020/5050 Metric), and test current ratings (350mA per channel). Physical and electrical compatibility is maintained.

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

A: The XMLDCL-00-0000-00C5AAC02 is a Gen 2 variant with improved efficiency characteristics. Forward voltage (Vf) is lower across all color channels, and maximum current rating is increased to 1.75A per channel compared to 1A on the original part. The substitute part is Active status versus Obsolete.

Q: Are there any package or mounting differences?

A: No. Both parts use the 2020 (5050 Metric) surface mount package with identical dimensions of 0.197" L x 0.197" W (5.00mm x 5.00mm) and maximum seated height of 0.124" (3.15mm). PCB footprints and reflow profiles remain compatible.

Q: What is the test current for these RGBW LEDs?

A: The test current is 350mA for each color channel (Red, Green, Blue, and White). This is the standard operating point for luminous flux and efficiency measurements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C3AAC02 is specified as RoHS Compliant. RoHS compliance status for the XMLDCL-00-0000-00C5AAC02 is not provided in the available data.
