Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C3ABCA1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Color configuration: Red, Green, Blue, White - Cool (RGBW) wavelengths
• Package type: 2020 (5050 Metric) surface mount
• Physical dimensions: 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint with 3.15mm maximum seated height
• Mounting compatibility: Surface mount technology
• Electrical interface: Four-color LED with independent color channels

The substitute part XMLDCL-00-0000-00C5ABC02 maintains identical color wavelengths, package dimensions, and mounting configuration, establishing functional compatibility for PCB-level replacement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The XMLDCL-00-0000-00C5ABC02 is the designated substitute for the obsolete XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C3ABCA1. Both components are manufactured by CreeLED, Inc., share identical RGBW color wavelengths, and maintain the same 2020 (5050 Metric) package footprint and surface mount configuration.

The XMLDCL-00-0000-00C5ABC02 is classified as Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support. This part represents the XLamp® XM-L® Gen 2 generation, providing improved electrical efficiency and thermal performance characteristics compared to the original XM-L series.

Direct PCB-level substitution is supported due to matching physical dimensions, identical wavelength specifications, and compatible mounting requirements. No circuit redesign is required for component replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the XMLDCL-00-0000-00C5ABC02 be used as a direct replacement for the XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C3ABCA1?

A: Yes. Both components share identical RGBW color wavelengths (625nm Red, 528nm Green, 458nm Blue, 6850K White), package dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm), and surface mount configuration. Direct PCB-level substitution is supported without circuit modification.

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

A: The XMLDCL-00-0000-00C5ABC02 is the Gen 2 version with improved performance: maximum current rating increased from 1A to 1.75A per color channel, forward voltage reduced across all color channels, thermal resistance improved from 4.6°C/W to 0.8°C/W, and viewing angle narrowed from 130° to 120°. The substitute part is Active status versus Obsolete.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C3ABCA1 is supplied in standard packaging, while the XMLDCL-00-0000-00C5ABC02 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both maintain identical component dimensions and surface mount footprint.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these parts?

A: The XMLCTW-A0-0000-00C3ABCA1 is RoHS Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited). Both parts carry ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8541.41.0000 classifications.

Q: Is circuit redesign required when substituting these components?

A: No circuit redesign is required. The identical test current (350mA per color channel), matching wavelengths, and compatible package configuration support direct substitution. Forward voltage differences are within typical design tolerance ranges for LED applications.
