Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE6 are identified based on strict parameter matching within the XLamp® XP-E product line. The following parameters must remain identical for substitution eligibility:

• Manufacturer: CreeLED, Inc.
• Series: XLamp® XP-E
• Color Category: White, Warm
• Forward Voltage (Vf): 3.05V (Typ)
• Test Current: 350mA
• Maximum Current: 1A
• Viewing Angle: 115°
• Package / Case: 1414 (3535 Metric)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Thermal Resistance: 9°C/W
• Product Status: Active
• RoHS Compliance: RoHS Compliant

The only parameter that varies among substitute parts is the Correlated Color Temperature (CCT), which ranges from 2700K to 3500K within the warm white category. This variation allows selection based on specific application color requirements while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE6, XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE7, and XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE8—maintain Active product status and full RoHS Compliance. They are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within the XLamp® XP-E series. Selection between these parts depends solely on the required color temperature:

• XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE6 (3500K): Neutral warm white, suitable for general lighting applications requiring moderate warmth.
• XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE7 (3000K): Warm white, appropriate for residential and hospitality lighting where enhanced warmth is desired.
• XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE8 (2700K): Extra warm white, optimal for applications requiring the warmest color appearance.

All parts deliver identical luminous flux (91 lm at 25°C, 350mA), forward voltage (3.05V), and thermal characteristics (9°C/W). Packaging differs between XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE6 and XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE7 (Tape & Reel) and XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE8 (Cut Tape), which may affect procurement and assembly processes but does not impact electrical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE7 or XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE8 be used as direct replacements for XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE6?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical specifications (3.05V forward voltage, 350mA test current, 1A maximum current), mechanical dimensions (1414/3535 Metric package, 3.45mm × 3.45mm footprint), and thermal properties (9°C/W). They differ only in correlated color temperature (CCT). Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically valid; selection depends on the required color temperature for the application.

Q: What is the difference between the three substitute parts?

A: The parts differ only in CCT: XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE6 operates at 3500K, XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE7 at 3000K, and XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE8 at 2700K. All other parameters—luminous flux, forward voltage, current ratings, viewing angle, package dimensions, and thermal resistance—are identical.

Q: Does packaging type affect compatibility?

A: Packaging type (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. It impacts procurement, storage, and assembly handling. XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE6 and XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE7 are supplied in Tape & Reel format, while XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE8 is supplied in Cut Tape format. Verify packaging requirements with your assembly process before selection.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS Compliant?

A: Yes. XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE6, XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE7, and XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE8 are all RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting regulatory requirements for electronic component use in restricted substance directives.

Q: What is the thermal resistance specification, and why is it important?

A: All three parts have a thermal resistance of 9°C/W. This parameter indicates the temperature rise per watt of power dissipation. At 350mA and 3.05V, power dissipation is approximately 1.07W. Thermal resistance is critical for thermal management design and ensures the LED operates within safe junction temperature limits during continuous operation.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes, provided the PCB footprint accommodates the 1414 (3535 Metric) package and the circuit design does not depend on specific color temperature characteristics. All three parts have identical mechanical dimensions and electrical requirements, allowing direct substitution without PCB redesign.
