Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the XPEFAR-L1-0000-00601 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Wavelength Compatibility: 730nm (720nm ~ 740nm) red spectrum
• Package Compatibility: 1414 (3535 Metric) surface mount package
• Electrical Operating Range: Maximum current 1A, forward voltage tolerance
• Thermal Characteristics: 8°C/W thermal resistance
• Mechanical Fit: Identical footprint and height constraints
• Optical Performance: Viewing angle and luminous flux output

The XPEBFR-L1-0000-00601 (XLamp® XP-E2) meets all substitution criteria through identical package geometry, wavelength specification, and thermal properties. The XP-E2 generation represents the direct successor technology from CreeLED, maintaining backward compatibility while providing enhanced luminous flux output.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The XPEBFR-L1-0000-00601 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete XPEFAR-L1-0000-00601. Selection is based on the following factors:

Product Status: The main part is classified as Obsolete, while the substitute is Active. This ensures continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Compliance: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 classification, ensuring regulatory consistency across designs.

RoHS Compliance: The substitute part carries RoHS Compliant certification, providing enhanced environmental compliance compared to the main part.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical package footprint (1414/3535 Metric) and thermal resistance (8°C/W) ensure direct PCB compatibility. The height difference of 0.010" (0.26mm) remains within typical assembly tolerances for surface mount processes.

Electrical Compatibility: Identical maximum current rating (1A) and test current (350mA) with forward voltage within 0.05V tolerance ensures circuit-level compatibility.

Performance Enhancement: The substitute delivers 25% higher luminous flux (288mW vs. 230mW) at identical test conditions, providing improved optical output without circuit redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the XPEBFR-L1-0000-00601 be used as a direct replacement for XPEFAR-L1-0000-00601?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical wavelength specification (730nm), package geometry (1414/3535 Metric), maximum current rating (1A), and thermal resistance (8°C/W). The substitute is electrically and mechanically compatible for direct substitution.

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

A: The substitute is 0.010" (0.26mm) taller (2.39mm vs. 2.13mm). This difference is within standard surface mount assembly tolerances and does not affect PCB layout or reflow processing.

Q: Does the forward voltage difference affect circuit design?

A: The forward voltage difference is 0.05V (1.85V vs. 1.9V), which is negligible for most LED driver circuits. Standard current-limiting designs accommodate this variation without modification.

Q: Why does the substitute have a wider viewing angle?

A: The XLamp® XP-E2 series features a 140° viewing angle compared to the XP-E's 130°. This provides broader light distribution without affecting optical wavelength or intensity at the specified test current.

Q: Is the substitute available in the same packaging format?

A: The substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification, as the main part packaging format was not specified in the available data.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification. The substitute additionally carries RoHS Compliant certification.
