Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement with Active Product Status: XPEWHT-01-0000-00FC2 and XPEWHT-01-0000-00FD2 provide the most direct substitution path. Both are RoHS Compliant and maintain identical flux output and CRI specifications. The 0.05V increase in forward voltage (3.05V vs. 3V) and 115° viewing angle (vs. 120°) represent minor deviations within typical application tolerances. These parts are available in high inventory (872 and 1121 units respectively).

For Enhanced Thermal Performance: XPGWHT-01-0000-00FC2 and XPGWHT-01-0000-00FC3 offer superior thermal characteristics (4°C/W vs. 6°C/W) and higher efficiency (124 lm/W vs. 120 lm/W). The lower forward voltage (2.9V) reduces power dissipation. These parts are suitable for applications requiring improved thermal management or higher current capability (1.5A maximum). Both are RoHS Compliant with active product status.

For Voltage-Matched Substitution: XPCWHT-L1-0000-00FE4 maintains the original 3V forward voltage and 120° viewing angle, providing the closest electrical match. However, the maximum current rating is limited to 500mA compared to the original 1A, restricting this part to lower-power applications. This part is suitable only when current requirements do not exceed 500mA.

For Alternative Series Consideration: XTEAWT-00-0000-00000BFD2 (XT-E series) offers the highest efficiency (126 lm/W) and improved thermal resistance (5°C/W). The 2.85V forward voltage provides the lowest power dissipation. This part is packaged in standard Tape & Reel format and is RoHS Compliant. The 0.100" seated height is slightly higher than other options, requiring PCB layout verification.

All recommended substitutes maintain the 1414 (3535 Metric) package footprint, 126lm flux output, 350mA test current, and 70 CRI specification. Selection should be based on specific application requirements regarding forward voltage tolerance, thermal budget, current capability, and viewing angle constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can XPEWHT-01-0000-00FC2 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for XPEHEW-01-0000-00FC2?

A: Yes, with minor circuit considerations. Both parts deliver 126lm at 350mA in the same 1414 package. The forward voltage difference (3.05V vs. 3V) requires verification that the LED driver or current source can accommodate the 50mV increase. The 115° viewing angle (vs. 120°) may affect light distribution in wide-angle applications. Both parts are RoHS Compliant with active product status.

Q: What is the difference between XPEWHT and XPGWHT series?

A: The XP-G series offers improved efficiency (124 lm/W vs. 118 lm/W for XP-E) and superior thermal performance (4°C/W vs. 9°C/W). The XP-G has a lower forward voltage (2.9V vs. 3.05V), reducing power dissipation. The XP-G supports higher maximum current (1.5A vs. 1A). Both maintain identical flux output (126lm) and package dimensions. XP-G is preferred for thermally constrained or high-efficiency applications.

Q: Why does XPCWHT-L1-0000-00FE4 have a lower maximum current rating?

A: The XP-C series is designed for lower-power applications with a 500mA maximum current limit compared to 1A for XP-E and 1.5A for XP-G. This part is suitable only for applications operating at or below 350mA. If your design requires higher current capability, select XPEWHT or XPGWHT series instead.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Most substitutes are available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. XTEAWT-00-0000-00000BFD2 explicitly specifies Tape & Reel format. The original XPEHEW-01-0000-00FC2 does not specify packaging format in the provided data. Verify packaging requirements with your procurement process before finalizing part selection.

Q: What is the significance of the CCT difference between 4500K and 4300K variants?

A: Both 4500K and 4300K are neutral white specifications within the same color family. The 4300K variants (XPEWHT-01-0000-00FC3, XPEWHT-01-R250-00FC3, XPGWHT-01-0000-00FC3) are slightly warmer. For applications requiring precise color matching, confirm that your design accepts both specifications. All variants maintain 70 CRI and 126lm flux output.

Q: Which substitute offers the best thermal performance?

A: XPGWHT-01-0000-00FC2 and XPGWHT-01-0000-00FC3 provide the lowest thermal resistance at 4°C/W, compared to 6°C/W for the original part. This 33% improvement in thermal performance makes XP-G series optimal for high-power or thermally constrained applications. The lower forward voltage (2.9V) also reduces junction temperature rise.

Q: Can I use XTEAWT-00-0000-00000BFD2 in existing PCB layouts designed for XPEHEW-01-0000-00FC2?

A: The XT-E part maintains the 1414 (3535 Metric) package footprint and surface mount compatibility. However, the seated height is 0.100" (2.54mm) compared to 0.087" (2.21mm) for the original. Verify that your PCB layout and any overlying components accommodate the additional 0.013" height. The forward voltage (2.85V) and viewing angle (115°) also differ from the original specification.
