Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Color and CCT: White, Cool 5000K (exact match required)
• Flux @ 25°C, 350mA: 126 lm (122–130 lm range)
• Test Current: 350mA
• CRI: 70 (Typ)
• Package / Case: 1414 (3535 Metric)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Size / Dimension: 0.136" L × 0.136" W (3.45mm × 3.45mm)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters (allowable variation):

• Forward Voltage (Vf): 2.85V to 3.05V (circuit design dependent)
• Maximum Current: 500mA to 1.5A (design margin dependent)
• Viewing Angle: 115° to 125° (application dependent)
• Height - Seated: 0.084" to 0.100" (PCB clearance dependent)
• Thermal Resistance: 4°C/W to 9°C/W (thermal design dependent)

All substitute parts listed maintain the core electrical output (126 lm at 350mA, 5000K, CRI 70) and identical package footprint, ensuring drop-in compatibility for PCB assembly and optical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Highest Compatibility):

XPGWHT-01-0000-00FC1, XPGWHT-01-0000-00FE3, XPGWHT-01-R250-00FC1, and XPGWHT-01-R250-00FE3 are the preferred substitutes. All XLamp® XP-G variants maintain identical flux output (126 lm at 350mA), CRI (70), package footprint (1414/3535 Metric), and mounting type. These parts are active products with RoHS compliance. The XP-G series offers improved thermal performance (4°C/W versus 6°C/W) and higher maximum current rating (1.5A versus 1.0A), providing enhanced design margin. Forward voltage is 2.9V, requiring circuit verification for voltage-sensitive applications.

Secondary Substitutes (Conditional Compatibility):

XPEWHT-01-0000-00FC1 and XPEWHT-01-R250-00FC1 maintain identical flux, CRI, and package specifications. Forward voltage is 3.05V (within 0.05V of the main part). These parts are active with RoHS compliance. Thermal resistance is higher (9°C/W), requiring thermal design review for high-power applications.

XPCWHT-L1-0000-00FE3 maintains identical flux, CRI, and package specifications with 3V forward voltage. However, maximum current is limited to 500mA, restricting design flexibility compared to the main part's 1A rating.

Alternative Substitute (Different Series):

XTEAWT-00-0000-00000BFE3 (XLamp® XT-E series) maintains identical flux and CRI with 1414 package footprint. Forward voltage is 2.85V, and thermal performance is superior (5°C/W). Maximum current is 1.5A. This part is active with RoHS compliance but represents a different LED series, requiring full electrical and optical characterization in the target application.

Compliance Considerations:

All active substitute parts carry REACH Unaffected and EAR99 ECCN classifications, matching the main part's regulatory status. RoHS compliance is confirmed for all active alternatives, supporting modern manufacturing and environmental requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can XPGWHT-01-0000-00FC1 replace XPEHEW-01-0000-00FC1 directly on the PCB?

A: Yes, from a mechanical and optical standpoint. Both parts use the 1414 (3535 Metric) package with identical footprint and 3.45mm × 3.45mm dimensions. Both deliver 126 lm at 350mA with 5000K color temperature and CRI 70. However, forward voltage differs (2.9V versus 3.0V), requiring circuit verification to confirm the LED driver or current source can operate within the specified range.

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

A: Forward voltage (Vf) determines the voltage drop across the LED at the test current (350mA). The main part operates at 3.0V, while XP-G variants operate at 2.9V and XT-E at 2.85V. For constant-current drivers, this difference is transparent. For voltage-regulated supplies, the lower Vf of XP-G and XT-E variants reduces power dissipation in series resistors and improves efficiency. Circuit design review is necessary to confirm compatibility.

Q: Why do some substitutes have higher maximum current ratings?

A: Maximum current (Imax) reflects the LED's thermal and electrical design limits. XP-G and XT-E variants are rated for 1.5A maximum, compared to 1.0A for the main part and XP-E variants. Higher Imax provides design margin for transient conditions and future performance requirements but does not imply the part must operate at higher currents. The test current remains 350mA for all parts.

Q: Are there height clearance concerns when substituting?

A: The main part has a seated height of 2.21mm. Most substitutes (XP-E, XP-C, XP-G variants) are 2.13mm, providing 0.08mm additional clearance. The XT-E variant is 2.54mm, requiring 0.33mm additional height. PCB layout and component placement must be verified to confirm clearance with adjacent components and solder mask.

Q: What does thermal resistance (°C/W) mean for substitution?

A: Thermal resistance indicates how efficiently the LED dissipates heat to the PCB. Lower values (4°C/W for XP-G) indicate better thermal performance than higher values (9°C/W for XP-E). For applications with limited thermal management, XP-G variants offer superior heat dissipation. For standard applications at 350mA, thermal differences are typically not critical.

Q: Why is the main part classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates CreeLED has discontinued the XPEHEW-01-0000-00FC1. Active alternatives from the XP-E, XP-C, XP-G, and XT-E series provide equivalent or superior performance and are recommended for new designs and production continuity.

Q: Are all substitutes available in the same packaging format?

A: All substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly. The main part packaging format is not specified in the data provided. Confirm packaging compatibility with your procurement and assembly processes.
