Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C3ABB02 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Color Configuration: Identical RGBW (Red, Green, Blue, White - Cool) output
• Wavelength Specifications: Matching 625nm Red, 528nm Green, 458nm Blue, 6850K White
• Package Format: 2020 (5050 Metric) surface-mount package
• Physical Dimensions: 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint with 3.15mm maximum seated height
• Mounting Type: Surface mount compatibility
• Test Current: 350mA per color channel at test conditions
• Compliance: RoHS compliance and MSL rating

The substitute parts identified (XMLDCL-00-0000-00C5ABBA2 and XMLDCL-00-0000-00C5ABB02) meet all critical substitution criteria. Both are CreeLED XLamp® XM-L® Gen 2 devices with identical color wavelengths, package dimensions, and surface-mount configuration. These parts represent the active-status successors to the obsolete XMLCTW series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both XMLDCL-00-0000-00C5ABBA2 and XMLDCL-00-0000-00C5ABB02 are direct substitutes for the obsolete XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C3ABB02. Selection between the two substitute parts should be based on packaging requirements: XMLDCL-00-0000-00C5ABBA2 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while XMLDCL-00-0000-00C5ABB02 is also supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format.

Both substitute parts offer improved performance characteristics compared to the original part, including lower forward voltages across all color channels, higher maximum current ratings (1.75A versus 1A), and significantly improved thermal resistance (0.8°C/W versus 4.6°C/W). These enhancements result in higher luminous flux output and improved efficiency, particularly in the green and white channels.

All three parts maintain identical physical dimensions, package format, and surface-mount compatibility. Both substitute parts are active-status products with full RoHS compliance and EAR99 export classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can XMLDCL-00-0000-00C5ABBA2 and XMLDCL-00-0000-00C5ABB02 be used interchangeably with XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C3ABB02?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts share identical color wavelengths, package dimensions (2020/5050 Metric), surface-mount configuration, and test current specifications. The physical footprint and PCB layout compatibility are identical.

Q: What are the key differences between the original part and the substitutes?

A: The substitute parts are XLamp® XM-L® Gen 2 devices offering improved efficiency and thermal performance. Forward voltages are lower across all channels, maximum current ratings are higher (1.75A versus 1A), and thermal resistance is significantly improved (0.8°C/W versus 4.6°C/W). Viewing angle is slightly narrower (120° versus 130°).

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. All three parts share identical ECCN (EAR99), HTSUS code (8541.41.0000), and RoHS compliance status. Both substitute parts are active-status products, ensuring long-term availability.

Q: What is the difference between XMLDCL-00-0000-00C5ABBA2 and XMLDCL-00-0000-00C5ABB02?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical XLamp® XM-L® Gen 2 RGBW LEDs. The primary distinction is packaging designation, though both are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Selection should be based on specific procurement or inventory requirements.

Q: Will circuit design modifications be required when switching to the substitute parts?

A: Circuit modifications may be beneficial due to lower forward voltages and higher maximum current ratings in the substitute parts. However, the original design will function with the substitutes at the specified 350mA test current. Thermal management improvements in the substitutes may allow for higher operating currents if design margins permit.
