Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete XPEFAR-L1-0000-00701 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Wavelength Range: 730nm (720–740nm) – must remain within specification
• Maximum Forward Current: 1A – electrical rating must be maintained or exceeded
• Package / Case: 1414 (3535 Metric) – physical footprint and mounting compatibility
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount – assembly process compatibility
• Thermal Resistance: 8°C/W – thermal management characteristics
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) – handling and storage requirements

The XPEBFR-L1-0000-00701 (XLamp® XP-E2 Red 730nm) meets all substitution criteria. It maintains identical wavelength specification, package dimensions, and thermal characteristics while offering improved luminous flux output and forward voltage characteristics. The XP-E2 series represents an active product line with current manufacturing status and full compliance documentation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The XPEBFR-L1-0000-00701 is the direct substitute for the obsolete XPEFAR-L1-0000-00701. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The main part is classified as obsolete, eliminating it from new procurement. The substitute part maintains active manufacturing status with current availability.

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts operate at identical test current (350mA) and maximum current (1A) ratings. The substitute exhibits a marginal reduction in forward voltage (1.85V vs. 1.9V), which is within typical design tolerance and may reduce power dissipation in the application circuit.

Optical Characteristics: Wavelength specification remains constant at 730nm (720–740nm). The substitute delivers increased luminous flux (313mW vs. 275mW at test conditions), representing a 13.8% improvement in light output. Viewing angle increases from 130° to 140°, providing wider light distribution.

Mechanical and Thermal Properties: Package dimensions, footprint, and thermal resistance remain identical. Height variation (2.39mm vs. 2.13mm) is 0.26mm and must be evaluated against PCB assembly clearance requirements.

Compliance and Certifications: The substitute part carries RoHS Compliant status and maintains REACH Unaffected classification. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) designations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the XPEBFR-L1-0000-00701 be used as a direct replacement for XPEFAR-L1-0000-00701 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical package footprint (1414/3535 Metric), mounting type (Surface Mount), and thermal characteristics (8°C/W). The 0.26mm height difference must be verified against PCB assembly clearance specifications. Electrical parameters are compatible within standard design tolerances.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The substitute (XP-E2) represents a newer product generation with improved luminous flux output (313mW vs. 275mW), slightly lower forward voltage (1.85V vs. 1.9V), and wider viewing angle (140° vs. 130°). The main part (XP-E) is obsolete; the substitute is in active production.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences?

A: The substitute part carries RoHS Compliant certification. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and identical trade classification codes (ECCN: EAR99; HTSUS: 8541.41.0000).

Q: What is the impact of the increased luminous flux in the substitute part?

A: The 13.8% increase in luminous flux (313mW vs. 275mW) at identical test current indicates improved light output efficiency. This may require circuit-level evaluation if the application has strict brightness specifications or thermal constraints.

Q: Does the height difference affect assembly compatibility?

A: The substitute part is 0.26mm taller (2.39mm vs. 2.13mm). This must be evaluated against PCB design clearance requirements, solder reflow profiles, and any mechanical constraints in the assembly environment.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: The main part is listed with no specified packaging format. The substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for high-volume surface mount assembly.
