Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the XPCWHT-L1-0000-00FE3 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Color and Correlated Color Temperature (CCT): White, Cool 5000K
• Luminous Flux @ 25°C, 350mA test current: 126 lumens (122–130 lm range)
• Forward Voltage (Typ): 3.0V nominal operation
• Test Current: 350mA
• CRI (Color Rendering Index): 70 typical
• Package / Case: 1414 (3535 Metric)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Packaging Format: Tape & Reel (TR)

The substitute part XPCWHT-01-0000-00FE3 (XLamp® XP-G series) meets all critical parameters with the following allowable variations: forward voltage of 2.9V (0.1V lower), viewing angle of 125° (5° wider), and improved thermal resistance of 4°C/W. These variations remain within acceptable substitution tolerance for equivalent LED performance in the specified application category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the XPCWHT-L1-0000-00FE3 and XPGWHT-01-0000-00FE3 are classified as Active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturer support and availability. The substitute part XPGWHT-01-0000-00FE3 demonstrates RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected certifications, meeting environmental regulatory requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on the following provided specifications:

• Identical Performance Metrics: Both parts deliver 126 lumens at 350mA test current with 5000K color temperature and 70 CRI, ensuring equivalent optical output for lighting applications.
• Forward Voltage Consideration: The substitute operates at 2.9V versus 3.0V. This 0.1V difference requires circuit design verification to ensure driver compatibility and current regulation performance.
• Thermal Performance: The substitute part exhibits superior thermal resistance (4°C/W versus 8°C/W), providing better heat dissipation characteristics for high-reliability applications.
• Current Rating: The substitute supports maximum current of 1.5A versus 500mA, offering greater operational headroom in designs requiring higher current operation.
• Viewing Angle: The substitute provides 125° versus 120°, offering slightly wider light distribution.

Selection should prioritize circuit compatibility with forward voltage and driver specifications as the primary criterion.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can XPGWHT-01-0000-00FE3 directly replace XPCWHT-L1-0000-00FE3 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible when the circuit driver accommodates the 2.9V forward voltage of the substitute. The identical luminous flux (126 lm), color temperature (5000K), test current (350mA), and package dimensions (1414/3535 Metric) ensure mechanical and optical compatibility. Circuit validation is required to confirm voltage regulation performance.

Q: What is the significance of the thermal resistance difference?

A: The substitute part exhibits 4°C/W thermal resistance compared to 8°C/W for the main part. This 50% improvement indicates superior heat transfer from the LED junction to the PCB. In applications with thermal constraints or high ambient temperatures, the substitute provides better thermal management and potentially extended operational life.

Q: Are there packaging or supply chain differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format. The main part has 841 pieces in stock inventory, while the substitute has 1975 pieces available. Both are manufactured by CreeLED, Inc. and classified as Active product status.

Q: How does the viewing angle difference affect application suitability?

A: The substitute provides 125° viewing angle versus 120° for the main part. This 5° difference results in slightly wider light distribution. For applications requiring specific beam geometry or optical control, this variation should be evaluated against design specifications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The substitute part XPGWHT-01-0000-00FE3 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting environmental and hazardous substance regulations. Both parts carry ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8541.41.0000 classifications.

Q: Is the higher lumens/watt rating of the substitute significant?

A: The substitute achieves 124 lm/W versus 120 lm/W for the main part at 350mA test current. This 4 lm/W improvement reflects enhanced luminous efficiency. However, both parts deliver identical absolute luminous flux (126 lumens), so the efficiency difference does not affect light output in equivalent-flux applications.
