Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the XPCWHT-L1-0000-00GE4 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Matching Parameters (Required for Substitution):

• Color: White, Neutral
• CCT (Color Temperature): 4500K
• Flux @ 25°C, 350mA Test Current: 135lm (130lm – 139lm)
• Test Current: 350mA
• CRI (Color Rendering Index): 70 (Typ)
• Package / Case: 1414 (3535 Metric)
• Size / Dimension: 0.136" L x 0.136" W (3.45mm x 3.45mm)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.084" (2.13mm)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Packaging: Tape & Reel (TR)

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Forward Voltage (Vf): Tolerance of ±0.1V permitted (3V nominal allows 2.9V – 3.1V range)
• Viewing Angle: Tolerance of ±5° permitted (120° allows 115° – 125° range)
• Lumens/Watt: Variation acceptable within flux and current specifications
• Thermal Resistance: Lower values (improved thermal performance) are acceptable
• Maximum Current: Higher ratings provide design margin

The identified substitutes XPGWHT-01-0000-00GC2 and XPGWHT-01-R250-00GC2 meet all matching parameters and fall within allowable variations for forward voltage and viewing angle.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes:

The XPGWHT-01-0000-00GC2 and XPGWHT-01-R250-00GC2 are direct functional equivalents to the XPCWHT-L1-0000-00GE4 for applications requiring 4500K neutral white illumination at 350mA test current with 135lm flux output in a 1414 package.

Electrical Compatibility: Both substitute parts operate at 2.9V typical forward voltage, which is 0.1V lower than the main part's 3V specification. This falls within acceptable tolerance for LED circuit design. The substitute parts feature higher maximum current ratings (1.5A versus 500mA), providing additional design margin for transient conditions.

Thermal Performance: The substitute parts offer superior thermal characteristics with 4°C/W thermal resistance compared to the main part's 8°C/W. This represents a 50% improvement in heat dissipation capability, beneficial for high-ambient-temperature applications.

Optical Performance: All three parts deliver identical flux output (135lm at 350mA) and CRI (70 Typ). The substitute parts provide a 5° wider viewing angle (125° versus 120°), which may be advantageous for applications requiring broader light distribution.

Compliance and Product Status: All three parts are Active in product status. The substitute parts carry RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected certifications. All parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) classifications.

Inventory Availability: The XPGWHT-01-0000-00GC2 has higher inventory availability (1478 units) compared to the main part (893 units), supporting supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can XPGWHT-01-0000-00GC2 and XPGWHT-01-R250-00GC2 be used interchangeably with XPCWHT-L1-0000-00GE4?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: identical color temperature (4500K), flux output (135lm at 350mA), CRI (70 Typ), package dimensions (1414/3535 Metric), and mounting type (Surface Mount). Forward voltage variation (2.9V versus 3V) is within acceptable tolerance for LED circuit design.

Q: What is the difference between XPGWHT-01-0000-00GC2 and XPGWHT-01-R250-00GC2?

A: Both parts are electrically and optically identical. The designation difference (R250 suffix) relates to internal manufacturing or packaging specifications not detailed in the provided parameters. Both are functionally equivalent substitutes for the main part.

Q: Will the lower forward voltage (2.9V) of the substitute parts affect circuit design?

A: The 0.1V difference is within standard LED design tolerance. Circuit designs using current-limiting resistors or constant-current drivers will accommodate this variation without modification. The substitute parts' higher maximum current rating (1.5A) provides additional design margin.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The substitute parts carry explicit RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected certifications. All three parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) classifications. No compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Q: How does the improved thermal resistance (4°C/W) of the substitutes impact performance?

A: Lower thermal resistance improves heat dissipation from the LED junction to the PCB. This is beneficial in high-ambient-temperature applications or designs with thermal constraints. The main part's 8°C/W specification remains adequate for standard operating conditions.

Q: Do the substitute parts have the same package footprint?

A: Yes. All three parts use identical 1414 (3535 Metric) package with 0.136" L x 0.136" W (3.45mm x 3.45mm) dimensions and 0.084" (2.13mm) maximum seated height. PCB footprints and assembly processes are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the 5° wider viewing angle (125° versus 120°)?

A: The wider viewing angle of the substitute parts provides broader light distribution. For applications requiring narrow beam concentration, the main part's 120° angle may be preferred. For general illumination requiring wider coverage, the 125° angle of the substitutes is advantageous.

Q: Can I mix main part and substitute parts in the same production run?

A: Yes. All three parts are functionally equivalent within specified parameters. However, the 5° viewing angle difference and thermal resistance difference should be considered if optical uniformity or thermal management is critical to the application.
