Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Criteria:

• Color and CCT: White, Cool 5000K
• Package / Case: 1414 (3535 Metric)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Test Current: 350mA
• Flux @ 25°C: 126lm (122lm ~ 130lm range)
• CRI: 70 (Typ)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Forward Voltage (Vf): ±0.2V tolerance acceptable for circuit design flexibility
• Viewing Angle: ±10° variation acceptable for optical design adaptation
• Maximum Current: Higher ratings acceptable; lower ratings not acceptable
• Thermal Resistance: Lower values acceptable (improved thermal performance); higher values require thermal design review
• Height - Seated: Variation acceptable within PCB assembly constraints

Substitute Categories:

Direct Parametric Equivalents (identical electrical and optical performance at test conditions):

• XPCWHT-L1-0000-00FE3 (XLamp® XP-C series)
• XPEWHT-01-0000-00FC1 (XLamp® XP-E series)
• XPEWHT-01-R250-00FC1 (XLamp® XP-E series, tape reel variant)
• XPGWHT-01-0000-00FC1 (XLamp® XP-G series)
• XPGWHT-01-0000-00FE3 (XLamp® XP-G series)
• XPGWHT-01-R250-00FC1 (XLamp® XP-G series, tape reel variant)
• XPGWHT-01-R250-00FE3 (XLamp® XP-G series, tape reel variant)

Similar Functional Alternative (minor electrical variation within acceptable design tolerance):

• XTEAWT-00-0000-00000BFE3 (XLamp® XT-E series, Vf 2.85V vs. 3V nominal)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Highest Compatibility):

XPGWHT-01-0000-00FE3 and XPGWHT-01-0000-00FC1 are the preferred substitutes. Both are active production parts with RoHS compliance, identical optical and electrical performance at 350mA test current, and superior thermal resistance (4°C/W vs. 6°C/W). The XLamp® XP-G series represents the current generation technology with enhanced thermal management. Tape & Reel packaging supports automated assembly workflows.

Secondary Substitutes (Acceptable Compatibility):

XPEWHT-01-0000-00FC1 and XPEWHT-01-R250-00FC1 maintain identical flux output and CRI. Forward voltage is 3.05V (0.05V higher than main part), within acceptable design tolerance. Thermal resistance of 9°C/W requires thermal design consideration in high-power applications. Both are active, RoHS-compliant parts.

XPCWHT-L1-0000-00FE3 provides identical electrical and optical performance with 120° viewing angle match. Maximum current rating of 500mA is lower than the main part's 1A rating; applications requiring currents above 500mA require circuit redesign. Thermal resistance of 8°C/W is acceptable for standard applications.

Alternative Substitute (Minor Electrical Variation):

XTEAWT-00-0000-00000BFE3 (XLamp® XT-E series) operates at 2.85V forward voltage, 0.15V lower than the main part. This variation requires circuit verification to confirm current source compatibility. Superior thermal resistance (5°C/W) and higher maximum current (1.5A) provide design flexibility. Active product status and RoHS compliance support new designs.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts carry REACH Unaffected and EAR99 ECCN classifications, matching the main part's regulatory profile. RoHS-compliant substitutes are preferred for applications subject to RoHS directives. MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) applies to the main part; substitute parts inherit standard MSL handling requirements per Tape & Reel packaging specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can XPGWHT-01-0000-00FE3 directly replace XPEHEW-01-0000-00FE3 without circuit modification?

A: Yes. Both parts operate at identical 350mA test current, produce 126lm flux output, and maintain 5000K CCT with 70 CRI. Forward voltage difference (2.9V vs. 3V) is within standard design tolerance for constant-current LED drivers. The XLamp® XP-G series is the recommended substitute for new designs.

Q: What is the impact of the 0.15V forward voltage difference between XPEHEW-01-0000-00FE3 (3V) and XTEAWT-00-0000-00000BFE3 (2.85V)?

A: Constant-current LED drivers automatically compensate for forward voltage variation within their operating range. Verify that your driver's compliance voltage (maximum voltage it can supply) accommodates the lower Vf. Power dissipation in the driver decreases with lower Vf, improving overall system efficiency.

Q: Are the XLamp® XP-G variants (XPGWHT-01-0000-00FE3, XPGWHT-01-0000-00FC1, XPGWHT-01-R250-00FC1, XPGWHT-01-R250-00FE3) interchangeable?

A: Yes. All XLamp® XP-G variants listed share identical electrical, optical, and thermal specifications. Differences are limited to packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. bulk) and supplier device package designation. Select based on your assembly process requirements.

Q: Why does XPCWHT-L1-0000-00FE3 have a lower maximum current rating (500mA vs. 1A)?

A: The XLamp® XP-C series represents an earlier generation with different thermal and electrical architecture. Applications operating at 350mA test current are unaffected. If your design requires operation above 500mA, select XPGWHT or XPEWHT series substitutes.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.003" (0.08mm) height difference between XPEHEW-01-0000-00FE3 (0.087") and most substitutes (0.084")?

A: This variation is negligible for standard PCB assembly. Verify clearance in your specific PCB layout if height-constrained applications are involved. All parts maintain 1414 (3535 Metric) package footprint compatibility.

Q: Are Tape & Reel packaged substitutes compatible with my bulk component assembly process?

A: Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated pick-and-place assembly. If your process requires bulk packaging, contact your supplier for alternative packaging options. Electrical and optical specifications remain identical regardless of packaging format.

Q: Does the improved thermal resistance (4°C/W) of XLamp® XP-G series require circuit design changes?

A: No. Lower thermal resistance improves heat dissipation, reducing junction temperature at equivalent power levels. This enhancement is beneficial and requires no circuit modification. Thermal design margins improve with XLamp® XP-G substitutes.
