Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Electrical Compatibility: The XPGBWT-L1-0000-00FZ5 substitute operates at 2.72V typical forward voltage compared to 2.84V for the main part. This 0.12V reduction is within acceptable tolerance for LED driver circuits designed for the 4000K neutral white category. Both parts operate at identical 350mA test current and 1.5A maximum current rating, ensuring direct circuit compatibility without modification.

Optical Performance: Both parts deliver 126 lumens at 85°C and 350mA test current, maintaining identical color temperature (4000K) and color rendering index (75 Typ). The substitute demonstrates 4.7% higher luminous efficacy (133 lm/W vs. 127 lm/W), resulting in lower power consumption for equivalent light output.

Thermal Characteristics: The substitute part exhibits superior thermal performance with 4°C/W thermal resistance compared to 5.8°C/W for the main part, representing a 31% improvement. This enhanced thermal management reduces junction temperature rise and extends operational life in thermally constrained applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts share identical package form factor (1414 / 3535 Metric), physical dimensions (3.45mm × 3.45mm), and seated height (2.39mm maximum). Direct PCB footprint compatibility is confirmed for surface-mount assembly.

Regulatory and Compliance Status: The substitute part carries explicit RoHS Compliance and REACH Unaffected certifications. Both parts are classified as Active product status with current inventory availability. The substitute is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging versus Tape & Reel (TR) for the main part; packaging format selection depends on assembly process requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can XPGBWT-L1-0000-00FZ5 be used as a direct replacement for XPEBWT-L1-0000-00FE5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical test current (350mA), maximum current rating (1.5A), optical output (126 lm @ 85°C), color temperature (4000K), and package form factor (1414 / 3535 Metric). The 0.12V forward voltage difference (2.72V vs. 2.84V) is within acceptable tolerance for LED driver circuits. PCB footprint compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the significance of the forward voltage difference between these parts?

A: The XPGBWT substitute operates at 2.72V typical versus 2.84V for the main part. This 0.12V reduction represents approximately 4.2% lower voltage drop. LED driver circuits designed for the 4000K neutral white category accommodate this variation. The lower forward voltage results in reduced power dissipation and improved overall system efficiency.

Q: Does the improved thermal resistance of the substitute part affect circuit design?

A: The substitute's 4°C/W thermal resistance (versus 5.8°C/W) represents improved heat dissipation from the LED junction. This 31% improvement reduces junction temperature rise under identical operating conditions, extending component life and improving reliability. No circuit design modification is required; the improved thermal performance is beneficial for all applications.

Q: Are there packaging format considerations when selecting between these parts?

A: The main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format; the substitute is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Selection depends on assembly process requirements. Tape & Reel is standard for high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape is suitable for lower-volume or manual assembly processes. Electrical and optical performance are identical regardless of packaging format.

Q: What is the difference between XLamp® XP-E2 and XLamp® XP-G2 series?

A: Both are CreeLED XLamp® series LEDs with identical electrical and optical specifications for this 4000K neutral white application. The XP-G2 substitute demonstrates improved thermal resistance (4°C/W vs. 5.8°C/W) and higher luminous efficacy (133 lm/W vs. 127 lm/W). Series designation reflects internal design architecture; functional performance for this application is equivalent.

Q: Are regulatory certifications identical between the main part and substitute?

A: The substitute part carries explicit RoHS Compliance and REACH Unaffected certifications. Regulatory certification status for the main part was not specified in available documentation. Both parts are classified as Active product status. For applications requiring specific regulatory compliance documentation, the substitute's certified status provides documented compliance assurance.

Q: Can the substitute part be used in applications with strict thermal constraints?

A: Yes. The substitute's superior thermal resistance (4°C/W) makes it particularly suitable for thermally constrained applications. The 31% improvement in thermal performance reduces junction temperature rise, extending operational life and improving reliability in high-ambient-temperature environments or applications with limited thermal management.

Q: What is the viewing angle difference, and does it affect application suitability?

A: The main part specifies 110° viewing angle; the substitute specifies 115°. This 5° difference represents a slightly wider light distribution cone for the substitute. For general illumination applications, this variation is negligible. Application suitability depends on specific optical design requirements; both angles are suitable for standard LED lighting applications.
