Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the XPEBWT-01-0000-00GE4 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility: Package type 1414 (3535 Metric) with surface-mount configuration ensures physical and electrical interface compatibility on PCBs designed for the main part.

Electrical Compatibility: Test current of 350mA and maximum current rating of 1A establish the operational envelope. Substitute parts must support these current levels without exceeding thermal or reliability limits.

Optical Characteristics: Neutral white color (4500K CCT) and CRI of 70 define the light quality requirements. Substitute parts must maintain these specifications to preserve application performance.

Thermal Performance: Thermal resistance of 9°C/W represents the heat dissipation capability. Substitute parts with equal or superior thermal resistance ensure equivalent thermal management in the application.

Compliance & Status: Active product status and RoHS compliance are mandatory for modern supply chains and regulatory adherence.

The XPGBWT-01-0000-00GF5 qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on these criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (XPEBWT-01-0000-00GE4): Use when the application design specifies XLamp® XP-E2 series characteristics, 4500K CCT, or when existing inventory and supply chain are optimized for this part number. Active product status and RoHS compliance support long-term availability.

Substitute Selection (XPGBWT-01-0000-00GF5): Use as an equivalent when:

• The application tolerates a 250K CCT shift from 4500K to 4250K (both neutral white bins)
• The driver circuit can accommodate the 0.18V lower forward voltage (2.72V vs. 2.9V)
• The wider 115° viewing angle is acceptable or beneficial
• Superior thermal resistance (4°C/W vs. 9°C/W) provides thermal margin benefits
• Higher luminous efficacy (142 lm/W vs. 133 lm/W) aligns with efficiency targets

Both parts maintain identical flux output (135lm), CRI (70), test current (350mA), package form factor (1414/3535 Metric), and compliance certifications. The substitute represents a performance upgrade in thermal and efficiency metrics while introducing minor optical and electrical parameter variations that require application-level validation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can XPGBWT-01-0000-00GF5 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for XPEBWT-01-0000-00GE4?

A: Physical and electrical interfaces are compatible due to identical package type (1414/3535 Metric) and test current (350mA). However, the forward voltage difference (2.72V vs. 2.9V) requires driver circuit verification to ensure proper current regulation. The 250K CCT difference (4250K vs. 4500K) may be perceptible in color-critical applications.

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

A: The substitute part (4°C/W) dissipates heat more efficiently than the main part (9°C/W). This reduces junction temperature rise for the same power dissipation, extending LED lifespan and improving reliability in thermally constrained designs.

Q: Are both parts suitable for new designs?

A: Both parts carry Active product status and RoHS compliance, making them suitable for new production designs. Selection should be based on application requirements for CCT, forward voltage compatibility, and thermal performance.

Q: How does the 5° viewing angle difference affect application performance?

A: The substitute's wider 115° beam angle versus the main part's 110° provides slightly broader light distribution. This is beneficial for general illumination but may require optical design adjustment in applications requiring precise beam control.

Q: What inventory considerations apply?

A: The main part (XPEBWT-01-0000-00GE4) has 681 pcs in stock; the substitute (XPGBWT-01-0000-00GF5) has 1050 pcs available. Substitute selection may offer supply chain advantages.
