Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Color and CCT: All substitutes must be White, Warm 3500K to maintain color consistency
• Package / Case: All substitutes must use 1414 (3535 Metric) surface mount package for PCB compatibility
• Flux Output: All substitutes must deliver 118 lm (114–122 lm range) at 350mA test current
• Test Current: All substitutes must operate at 350mA nominal current
• CRI: All substitutes must maintain CRI of 70 or higher
• Mounting Type: All substitutes must be surface mount compatible

Four substitute parts meet these criteria and are grouped as follows:

Active Product Alternatives (Recommended for New Designs):

• XPCWHT-L1-0000-00EE6 (XLamp® XP-C series)
• XPGWHT-01-0000-00EE6 (XLamp® XP-G series)
• XPGWHT-01-R250-00EE6 (XLamp® XP-G series, reel variant)

Active Product Alternative (Higher Efficiency):

• XTEAWT-00-0000-00000BHE6 (XLamp® XT-E series)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Obsolete Product Continuity):

XPCWHT-L1-0000-00EE6 provides the closest electrical match to the XPEHEW-01-0000-00EE6, maintaining identical forward voltage (3V), test current (350mA), lumens/watt efficiency (112 lm/W), and viewing angle (120°). This part is active and available in production quantities (871 pcs in stock). However, the maximum current rating is reduced to 500mA compared to the original 1A specification, and thermal resistance is higher at 8°C/W. This part is suitable for applications where the original 1A maximum current is not required.

For Enhanced Performance (Recommended for New Designs):

XPGWHT-01-0000-00EE6 and XPGWHT-01-R250-00EE6 (identical electrical specifications, different packaging) offer superior thermal performance (4°C/W versus 6°C/W), higher maximum current rating (1.5A), and improved efficiency (116 lm/W versus 112 lm/W). Forward voltage is 2.9V, requiring circuit verification for voltage-sensitive applications. Both variants are active products with RoHS compliance and high inventory availability (841 and 700 pcs respectively). The R250 variant indicates reel packaging configuration.

For Maximum Efficiency:

XTEAWT-00-0000-00000BHE6 delivers the highest lumens/watt efficiency (116 lm/W) and lowest thermal resistance among XT-E series alternatives (5°C/W). Forward voltage is 2.9V with maximum current of 1.5A. This part is active, RoHS compliant, and available in tape & reel packaging (702 pcs in stock). Viewing angle is 115°, slightly narrower than the original 120°.

All substitute parts maintain the required 3500K color temperature, 70 CRI, 1414 (3535 Metric) package, and 118 lm flux output at 350mA test current.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can XPGWHT-01-0000-00EE6 be used as a direct replacement for XPEHEW-01-0000-00EE6?

A: Yes, with circuit verification. Both parts deliver identical flux output (118 lm at 350mA), color temperature (3500K), and package (1414 3535 Metric). The forward voltage differs by 0.1V (2.9V versus 3V), which may require adjustment in current-limiting circuits. The XPGWHT-01-0000-00EE6 offers superior thermal performance (4°C/W versus 6°C/W) and higher maximum current capability (1.5A versus 1A).

Q: What is the difference between XPGWHT-01-0000-00EE6 and XPGWHT-01-R250-00EE6?

A: These parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The R250 designation indicates reel packaging configuration (Tape & Reel with 250-unit reel). Select based on procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Is the XPCWHT-L1-0000-00EE6 suitable for high-current applications?

A: No. The XPCWHT-L1-0000-00EE6 has a maximum current rating of 500mA, compared to the original XPEHEW-01-0000-00EE6 rating of 1A. Applications requiring operation above 500mA should use XPGWHT-01-0000-00EE6, XPGWHT-01-R250-00EE6, or XTEAWT-00-0000-00000BHE6, all rated to 1.5A maximum.

Q: How does thermal resistance affect component selection?

A: Lower thermal resistance improves heat dissipation. The XPGWHT series (4°C/W) and XTEAWT series (5°C/W) provide superior thermal performance compared to the original XPEHEW (6°C/W) and XPCWHT (8°C/W). In thermally constrained applications, XPGWHT variants are preferred.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: XPGWHT-01-0000-00EE6, XPGWHT-01-R250-00EE6, and XTEAWT-00-0000-00000BHE6 are RoHS compliant. XPCWHT-L1-0000-00EE6 RoHS status is not specified in available documentation. Verify compliance requirements with your procurement department.

Q: What is the impact of viewing angle differences?

A: The original XPEHEW-01-0000-00EE6 has a 120° viewing angle. XPGWHT variants offer 125° (wider distribution), while XTEAWT offers 115° (narrower distribution). Verify optical design compatibility for applications with specific beam angle requirements.

Q: Can forward voltage differences affect circuit operation?

A: Yes. Parts with 2.9V forward voltage (XPGWHT and XTEAWT series) versus 3V (XPEHEW and XPCWHT) may require adjustment to current-limiting resistor values or power supply voltage to maintain the specified 350mA test current. Recalculate circuit parameters before substitution.
