XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AF7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AF7 is an XLamp® XP-E warm white LED manufactured by CreeLED, Inc., designed for surface mount applications in lighting systems. This part operates at 3250K color temperature with a forward voltage of 3.05V and 350mA test current, delivering 91 lumens at 25°C. The component is housed in a 1414 (3535 Metric) package and is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Substitute parts are necessary when specific color temperature requirements differ or when alternative packaging formats are required while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AF7 are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: All substitute parts maintain identical forward voltage (3.05V Typ), test current (350mA), maximum current (1A), and luminous flux output (91lm at 25°C, 350mA). These parameters ensure direct functional replacement in existing circuit designs without modification.

Mechanical Compatibility: All substitute parts share the same package type (1414 / 3535 Metric), physical dimensions (0.136" L x 0.136" W / 3.45mm x 3.45mm), seated height (0.084" / 2.13mm), thermal resistance (9°C/W), and surface mount mounting type. These specifications guarantee compatibility with existing PCB layouts and thermal management designs.

Optical Characteristics: All substitute parts maintain identical viewing angle (115°), CRI (80 Typ), and lumens per watt efficiency (85 lm/W). The primary difference among qualified substitutes is color temperature (CCT), which varies between 2700K, 3000K, and 3250K to accommodate different warm white lighting requirements.

Regulatory & Compliance: All substitute parts are Active products from CreeLED, Inc., RoHS Compliant, and REACH Unaffected, ensuring compliance with applicable environmental and safety standards.

Packaging Format Variation: While the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, one substitute part is available in Cut Tape (CT) format. Both formats contain identical components and are interchangeable for assembly purposes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts are Active products from CreeLED, Inc., with identical RoHS Compliance and REACH Unaffected status. Selection between XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AF7, XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE7, and XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE8 is determined solely by color temperature requirement:

XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AF7 is selected for applications requiring 3250K warm white color temperature.

XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE7 is selected for applications requiring 3000K warm white color temperature and is available in Tape & Reel packaging.

XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE8 is selected for applications requiring 2700K warm white color temperature and is available in Cut Tape packaging.

All three parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within their respective color temperature specifications. Packaging format selection (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) depends on assembly process requirements and does not affect component performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE7 (3000K) be used as a direct replacement for XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AF7 (3250K)?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. Both parts have identical forward voltage (3.05V), test current (350mA), maximum current (1A), luminous flux (91lm), package dimensions (1414 / 3535 Metric), and thermal characteristics (9°C/W). The only difference is color temperature. Substitution is valid if the application can accommodate 3000K instead of 3250K.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) packaging?

A: Both formats contain identical LED components. Tape & Reel is a continuous reel format suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape is pre-cut into smaller quantities and is suitable for lower-volume or manual assembly processes. The choice depends on assembly equipment and production volume, not component performance.

Q: Are all three parts compatible with the same PCB layout?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical package type (1414 / 3535 Metric), physical dimensions (0.136" L x 0.136" W / 3.45mm x 3.45mm), and seated height (0.084" / 2.13mm). PCB footprints and thermal management designs are fully compatible across all three parts.

Q: What determines whether a part qualifies as a substitute?

A: Substitution is based on electrical compatibility (forward voltage, current ratings, luminous flux), mechanical compatibility (package type, dimensions, thermal resistance), optical characteristics (viewing angle, CRI, efficiency), and regulatory compliance (RoHS, REACH status). Color temperature variation is the only parameter that differs among qualified substitutes.

Q: Can XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE8 (Cut Tape) be used in automated assembly equipment designed for Tape & Reel?

A: Cut Tape format is not compatible with automated reel-fed assembly equipment. If automated assembly is required, use XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AF7 or XPEWHT-L1-0000-00AE7, both available in Tape & Reel format. Cut Tape is suitable for manual or semi-automated assembly processes.
