Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Compatibility Parameters:

• Color and CCT: White, Neutral 4000K (all substitutes match)
• Package / Case: 1414 (3535 Metric) (all substitutes match)
• Flux Output: 126 lm nominal at test current (all substitutes match)
• CRI: 70 (all substitutes match)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (all substitutes match)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters (allowable variance):

• Forward Voltage (Vf): 2.85V to 3V (within typical LED tolerance)
• Test Current: 350mA (standard across all substitutes)
• Maximum Current: 500mA to 1.5A (substitutes support equal or higher ratings)
• Viewing Angle: 115° to 125° (minor optical variation acceptable)
• Thermal Resistance: 4°C/W to 8°C/W (thermal performance variation)
• Height (Seated): 2.13mm to 2.54mm (within PCB assembly tolerance)

Product Status Consideration: The XPEHEW-01-0000-00FE5 is obsolete. All listed substitutes are active products from CreeLED, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute (Highest Compatibility): XPCWHT-L1-0000-00FE5 (XLamp® XP-C) is the closest electrical and mechanical equivalent. It maintains identical forward voltage (3V), flux output (126 lm), CRI (70), and viewing angle (120°) as the original XPEHEW-01-0000-00FE5. The only notable difference is a lower maximum current rating (500mA vs. 1A), which is acceptable for applications operating at or below 350mA. This part is active and available.

Secondary Substitutes (Acceptable Alternatives): The XLamp® XP-G series (XPGWHT-01-0000-00FD4, XPGWHT-01-0000-00FE5, XPGWHT-01-R250-00FD4, XPGWHT-01-R250-00FE5) offers improved thermal performance (4°C/W vs. 6°C/W), higher maximum current capability (1.5A), and slightly better efficiency (124 lm/W vs. 120 lm/W). Forward voltage is marginally lower (2.9V vs. 3V), which is within standard LED tolerance. Viewing angle is slightly wider (125° vs. 120°). All XP-G variants are active products with RoHS compliance.

Alternative Substitute (Different Series): XTEAWT-00-0000-00000BFE5 (XLamp® XT-E) provides the highest efficiency (126 lm/W) and lowest thermal resistance (5°C/W). Forward voltage is 2.85V and viewing angle is 115°. This part is active and RoHS compliant. It is suitable where thermal management is critical and the slightly narrower viewing angle is acceptable.

Compliance Consideration: All active substitutes carry RoHS compliance certification, supporting modern regulatory requirements. The original XPEHEW-01-0000-00FE5 does not specify RoHS status due to its obsolete classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I directly replace XPEHEW-01-0000-00FE5 with any of these substitutes? A: Yes, all listed substitutes are electrically and mechanically compatible within the 1414 (3535 Metric) package footprint. They share identical color (White, Neutral 4000K), flux output (126 lm at 350mA), CRI (70), and mounting type (Surface Mount). Forward voltage variations (2.85V to 3V) and viewing angle differences (115° to 125°) are within acceptable engineering tolerances for LED applications.

Q: What is the difference between the XP-G variants (FD4 vs. FE5 suffixes)? A: The FD4 and FE5 designations indicate different binning or manufacturing date codes within the XP-G series. Both XPGWHT-01-0000-00FD4 and XPGWHT-01-0000-00FE5 are electrically identical with the same electrical and optical specifications. The R250 variants (XPGWHT-01-R250-00FD4 and XPGWHT-01-R250-00FE5) indicate tape reel packaging with a 250-unit reel configuration. Selection between these variants depends on packaging requirements and inventory availability.

Q: Which substitute offers the best thermal performance? A: XPGWHT-01-0000-00FD4, XPGWHT-01-0000-00FE5, XPGWHT-01-R250-00FD4, and XPGWHT-01-R250-00FE5 (all XP-G series) offer the lowest thermal resistance at 4°C/W, compared to 6°C/W for the original XPEHEW-01-0000-00FE5. XTEAWT-00-0000-00000BFE5 (XT-E) provides 5°C/W. For applications requiring superior heat dissipation, the XP-G series is recommended.

Q: Are there any height differences that could affect PCB assembly? A: Yes. The original XPEHEW-01-0000-00FE5 has a seated height of 0.087" (2.21mm). Most substitutes are slightly shorter at 0.084" (2.13mm), except XTEAWT-00-0000-00000BFE5 at 0.100" (2.54mm). These differences are within standard PCB assembly tolerances and should not cause mechanical interference. Verify clearance in your specific PCB design if height-constrained applications are involved.

Q: What is the difference between tape & reel (TR) and standard packaging? A: Tape & Reel packaging is standard for high-volume automated assembly. All active substitutes are available in Tape & Reel format, supporting efficient pick-and-place manufacturing. The original XPEHEW-01-0000-00FE5 does not specify packaging format due to its obsolete status.

Q: Can I use XPCWHT-L1-0000-00FE5 if my application requires higher current than 350mA? A: XPCWHT-L1-0000-00FE5 has a maximum current rating of 500mA, which supports operation up to that level. If your application requires sustained operation above 500mA, use XTEAWT-00-0000-00000BFE5 (1.5A max) or any XP-G variant (1.5A max) instead.

Q: Does forward voltage difference affect circuit design? A: Forward voltage variations from 2.85V to 3V are typical for LED components and should be accommodated by standard LED driver circuits with adequate headroom. If your circuit has tight voltage margins, verify that your power supply and current-limiting circuit can operate across the full voltage range of your selected substitute.
