Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the XPCWHT-L1-0000-008E6 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Identical package / case (1414 / 3535 Metric)
• Identical mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Identical physical dimensions (0.136" L x 0.136" W, 2.13mm max height)
• Identical viewing angle (115°)
• Identical CRI (80 Typ)
• Compatible forward voltage range (3.05V to 3.2V)
• Compatible test current (350mA nominal operation)
• Identical color category (White, Warm)
• Active product status
• RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected compliance

Secondary Consideration:

• Color temperature (CCT) may vary within warm white range (3000K to 3500K)
• Efficiency (lm/W) may improve in newer series
• Thermal resistance may improve in newer series
• Maximum current rating may differ
• Packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape) does not affect electrical compatibility

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

XPCWHT-L1-0000-008E7 is a direct parametric equivalent within the XLamp® XP-C series. All electrical, thermal, and mechanical parameters are identical to the main part. The only difference is color temperature specification (3000K vs. 3500K). This substitute is suitable for applications where warm white output at 3000K is acceptable. Both parts maintain identical Active product status and full compliance with RoHS and REACH requirements.

XPEWHT-L1-R250-008E7 represents a cross-series substitute from the XLamp® XP-E line. While maintaining identical package, mounting, and optical specifications (115° viewing angle, 80 CRI), this part offers improved thermal performance (9°C/W vs. 12°C/W) and higher efficiency (72 lm/W vs. 69 lm/W). Forward voltage is slightly lower (3.05V vs. 3.2V), and maximum current rating is higher (1A vs. 500mA). Color temperature is 3000K. This substitute is suitable for designs requiring enhanced thermal management or higher current capability. Packaging format differs (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel), which may affect procurement and assembly processes. Both parts maintain Active product status and full compliance with RoHS and REACH requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can XPCWHT-L1-0000-008E7 be used as a direct replacement for XPCWHT-L1-0000-008E6?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all electrical, thermal, and mechanical parameters. The difference is color temperature (3000K vs. 3500K). If your application accepts warm white output at 3000K, this substitute is fully compatible.

Q: What are the key differences between XPEWHT-L1-R250-008E7 and the main part?

A: XPEWHT-L1-R250-008E7 differs in three areas: (1) Series designation (XP-E vs. XP-C), (2) Forward voltage (3.05V vs. 3.2V), (3) Thermal resistance (9°C/W vs. 12°C/W), (4) Efficiency (72 lm/W vs. 69 lm/W), (5) Maximum current (1A vs. 500mA), and (6) Packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel). All other parameters including package, dimensions, viewing angle, and CRI remain identical.

Q: Does packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape) affect electrical compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format affects only procurement, storage, and assembly handling. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is unaffected. XPEWHT-L1-R250-008E7 in Cut Tape format is electrically and mechanically equivalent to Tape & Reel packaged parts.

Q: Can I use XPEWHT-L1-R250-008E7 in a circuit designed for XPCWHT-L1-0000-008E6?

A: Yes, with circuit verification. The lower forward voltage (3.05V vs. 3.2V) requires confirmation that your current-limiting circuit accommodates this difference. The improved thermal resistance (9°C/W) is beneficial. If your design operates at or near the 500mA maximum current limit of the XP-C series, the higher 1A rating of the XP-E provides additional margin.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts are RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the 3000K vs. 3500K color temperature difference?

A: Both are classified as warm white. 3000K produces a warmer, more amber-toned light suitable for residential and hospitality applications. 3500K produces a slightly cooler warm white suitable for general commercial applications. Selection depends on the specific color temperature requirement of your end application.
