Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria applied strictly to the provided parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria (Must Match):

• Color and CCT: White, Cool 5000K
• Package / Case: 1414 (3535 Metric)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Test Current: 350 mA
• Flux @ 25°C: 135 lm (130–139 lm range)
• CRI: 70 (Typ)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters (Allowable Variation):

• Forward Voltage (Vf): ±0.15V tolerance acceptable for 3V nominal designs
• Viewing Angle: ±10° variation acceptable
• Maximum Current: Higher ratings acceptable; lower ratings require design review
• Thermal Resistance: Lower values acceptable; higher values require thermal analysis
• Height: Variation acceptable if PCB clearance permits

Substitute Parts Identified:

1. XPCWHT-L1-0000-00GE3 (XLamp® XP-C) – Parametric equivalent
2. XPGWHT-01-0000-00GC1 (XLamp® XP-G) – Parametric equivalent
3. XPGWHT-01-0000-00GE3 (XLamp® XP-G) – Parametric equivalent
4. XPGWHT-01-R250-00GC1 (XLamp® XP-G) – Parametric equivalent
5. XPGWHT-01-R250-00GE3 (XLamp® XP-G) – Parametric equivalent
6. XTEAWT-00-0000-00000BGC1 (XLamp® XT-E) – Similar functional equivalent

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Tier 1 – Direct Parametric Equivalents (Recommended for Immediate Substitution):

XPCWHT-L1-0000-00GE3 and XPGWHT series parts (all variants) are active products with identical flux output, color temperature, CRI, and test current specifications. These parts maintain the same 1414 package footprint and surface mount compatibility. The XPGWHT variants offer improved thermal performance (4°C/W vs. 6°C/W) and higher maximum current ratings (1.5A vs. 1A), providing design margin. XPCWHT-L1-0000-00GE3 maintains the original 3V forward voltage and 1A maximum current, offering the closest electrical match.

Tier 2 – Functional Equivalent with Minor Parameter Variation:

XTEAWT-00-0000-00000BGC1 (XLamp® XT-E) meets all primary substitution criteria with identical flux, color, and CRI. Forward voltage is 2.85V (0.15V lower), and viewing angle is 115° (5° narrower). This part is active and offers superior efficiency (135 lm/W vs. 129 lm/W). Height is 0.100" (0.013" taller), requiring PCB clearance verification. This part is suitable where efficiency gains and higher current capability (1.5A) are beneficial.

Compliance Considerations:

XPGWHT series parts carry RoHS Compliant certification. XPCWHT-L1-0000-00GE3 and XTEAWT-00-0000-00000BGC1 do not specify RoHS status in provided data. All parts are REACH Unaffected and carry EAR99 ECCN classification. Designs requiring RoHS compliance should prioritize XPGWHT variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can XPGWHT-01-0000-00GC1 and XPGWHT-01-0000-00GE3 be used interchangeably with XPEHEW-01-0000-00GE3?

A: Yes. Both parts deliver 135 lm at 350 mA with 5000K color temperature and 70 CRI in the same 1414 package. Forward voltage is 2.9V (0.1V lower), which is within acceptable tolerance for 3V nominal designs. Thermal resistance is superior (4°C/W vs. 6°C/W), and maximum current is higher (1.5A vs. 1A). PCB layout and driver circuit require no modification.

Q: What is the difference between XPGWHT-01-R250-00GC1 and XPGWHT-01-0000-00GE3?

A: Both parts are electrically and optically identical. The "R250" designation indicates tape and reel packaging with 250-unit reels, while "0000" indicates standard packaging. Electrical performance, thermal characteristics, and mechanical dimensions are identical. Selection depends on production volume and packaging requirements.

Q: Is XPCWHT-L1-0000-00GE3 a suitable replacement if forward voltage must remain at 3V?

A: Yes. XPCWHT-L1-0000-00GE3 maintains 3V forward voltage (Typ) matching the original part. It delivers 135 lm at 350 mA with identical color temperature and CRI. Maximum current is 500 mA (vs. 1A), which is acceptable for designs operating at or below 350 mA. Thermal resistance is 8°C/W (vs. 6°C/W), requiring thermal analysis for high-ambient applications.

Q: Can XTEAWT-00-0000-00000BGC1 be used in designs with tight PCB height constraints?

A: XTEAWT-00-0000-00000BGC1 has a maximum seated height of 0.100" (2.54 mm), compared to 0.087" (2.21 mm) for XPEHEW-01-0000-00GE3. This 0.013" (0.33 mm) difference must be verified against PCB clearance and enclosure design. If height is critical, XPGWHT or XPCWHT variants (0.084" height) are preferred.

Q: What are the thermal implications of switching to XPGWHT series?

A: XPGWHT parts have thermal resistance of 4°C/W, compared to 6°C/W for the original part. This 33% improvement in thermal performance reduces junction temperature rise for the same power dissipation, improving reliability and light output stability. No design changes are required; thermal performance is enhanced.

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

A: XPGWHT series is available in both standard and tape & reel (R250) packaging. XPCWHT-L1-0000-00GE3 is supplied in tape & reel. XTEAWT-00-0000-00000BGC1 is supplied in tape & reel. Packaging selection should align with production volume and assembly process requirements.
