Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the XPEWHT-01-0000-00BC3 are identified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Forward voltage (3.05V typical), test current (350mA), and maximum current rating (1A) must match exactly.

Optical Compatibility: Flux output at 25°C and 350mA test current (97lm ± 3lm range), lumens per watt efficiency (91 lm/W), and CRI (70 typical) must be identical.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package type (1414 / 3535 Metric), mounting type (Surface Mount), physical dimensions (0.136" x 0.136" x 0.084" max height), and thermal resistance (9°C/W) must match.

Series and Base Product: Parts must belong to the XLamp® XP-E series and share the base product number XPEWHT.

Regulatory Compliance: RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected status must be maintained.

The primary variable among substitute parts is color temperature (CCT in Kelvin), which may differ while all other parameters remain constant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the XPEWHT-01-0000-00BC3 and XPEWHT-L1-0000-00BE5 are active production parts from CreeLED with full RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific color temperature requirements. The main part operates at 4300K (neutral white, slightly warmer), while the substitute operates at 4000K (neutral white, slightly cooler). All electrical, optical, mechanical, and thermal characteristics are identical. Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in surface mount lighting applications where the specific color temperature is compatible with system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can XPEWHT-L1-0000-00BE5 be used as a direct replacement for XPEWHT-01-0000-00BC3?

A: Yes, the XPEWHT-L1-0000-00BE5 is electrically, mechanically, and thermally compatible. The only difference is color temperature: 4000K versus 4300K. Direct substitution is possible if the application accepts this color temperature variation.

Q: What is the difference between 4300K and 4000K color temperature?

A: Both are classified as neutral white. The 4300K part produces slightly warmer light, while the 4000K part produces slightly cooler light. The difference is perceptible in side-by-side comparison but both fall within the neutral white spectrum.

Q: Are the package dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 1414 (3535 Metric) package with identical dimensions: 0.136" L x 0.136" W and maximum seated height of 0.084" (2.13mm). PCB footprints and reflow profiles are compatible.

Q: Do both parts have the same electrical ratings?

A: Yes. Forward voltage (3.05V typical), test current (350mA), maximum current (1A), and thermal resistance (9°C/W) are identical across both parts.

Q: What is the flux output difference?

A: Both parts deliver 97lm at 25°C and 350mA test current, with the same tolerance range of 94lm to 100lm. Optical output is equivalent.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both XPEWHT-01-0000-00BC3 and XPEWHT-L1-0000-00BE5 are RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Selection depends on the required color temperature for your application. Both parts are active production items. The XPEWHT-L1-0000-00BE5 has higher inventory availability (2838 units versus 839 units).
