Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the XPEWHT-01-0000-00BC2 is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the XLamp® XP-E series. The following parameters define substitution eligibility:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Manufacturer: CreeLED, Inc.
• Series: XLamp® XP-E
• Package / Case: 1414 (3535 Metric)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Forward Voltage (Vf): 3.05V
• Test Current: 350mA
• Maximum Current: 1A
• Viewing Angle: 115°
• Thermal Resistance: 9°C/W
• Physical Dimensions: 0.136" L x 0.136" W (3.45mm x 3.45mm)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.084" (2.13mm)
• Lumens per Watt: 91 lm/W
• CRI: 70 (Typ)

Variable Parameter:

• CCT (Correlated Color Temperature): 4500K (main part) vs. 4000K (substitute)

The substitute part XPEWHT-L1-0000-00BE5 maintains identical electrical performance, thermal characteristics, and mechanical form factor while offering an alternative color temperature of 4000K. Both parts deliver 97lm at 350mA test current and are fully compatible in applications where neutral white illumination in the 4000K–4500K range is acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the XPEWHT-01-0000-00BC2 and XPEWHT-L1-0000-00BE5 are Active products from CreeLED, Inc., with full RoHS Compliance and REACH Unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific color temperature requirements:

• XPEWHT-01-0000-00BC2 (4500K): Select for applications requiring neutral white illumination at 4500K correlated color temperature.
• XPEWHT-L1-0000-00BE5 (4000K): Select for applications requiring neutral white illumination at 4000K correlated color temperature, or when higher inventory availability is a consideration (2838 units vs. 740 units).

Both parts deliver identical electrical performance (3.05V forward voltage, 350mA test current, 91 lm/W efficiency), thermal characteristics (9°C/W), and mechanical form factor (1414 3535 Metric package). The substitution is electrically and mechanically transparent to the circuit design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can XPEWHT-L1-0000-00BE5 be used as a direct replacement for XPEWHT-01-0000-00BC2?

A: Yes, the XPEWHT-L1-0000-00BE5 is a direct electrical and mechanical substitute. The only difference is the correlated color temperature: 4000K versus 4500K. Both parts have identical forward voltage (3.05V), test current (350mA), maximum current (1A), luminous flux (97lm), efficiency (91 lm/W), viewing angle (115°), and package dimensions (1414 3535 Metric). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between 4500K and 4000K color temperature?

A: Both are classified as neutral white. The 4500K variant (XPEWHT-01-0000-00BC2) produces a slightly cooler, more bluish-white light, while the 4000K variant (XPEWHT-L1-0000-00BE5) produces a slightly warmer, more yellowish-white light. The choice depends on the desired visual appearance in the application.

Q: Are the thermal characteristics identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts have a thermal resistance of 9°C/W and are mounted in the same 1414 (3535 Metric) package. Thermal management design remains unchanged when substituting between these parts.

Q: What is the package compatibility?

A: Both parts use the 1414 (3535 Metric) surface-mount package with identical dimensions (0.136" L x 0.136" W, 3.45mm x 3.45mm) and maximum seated height (0.084" / 2.13mm). They are compatible with the same PCB footprints and reflow soldering processes.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both XPEWHT-01-0000-00BC2 and XPEWHT-L1-0000-00BE5 are RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting regulatory requirements for electronic components in regulated markets.

Q: What is the maximum operating current for these LEDs?

A: The maximum current for both parts is 1A. The standard test current is 350mA, at which both parts deliver 97lm of luminous flux and 91 lm/W efficiency.
