Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the XPEWHT-L1-0000-00BF7 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Forward voltage (3.05V typical), test current (350mA), maximum current (1A), and lumens per watt (91 lm/W) must remain constant across substitute parts.

Optical Parameters: Viewing angle (115°) and CRI (80 typical) must be maintained.

Mechanical Parameters: Package type (1414 / 3535 Metric), mounting type (Surface Mount), physical dimensions (0.136" L x 0.136" W / 3.45mm x 3.45mm), and seated height (0.084" / 2.13mm maximum) must be identical.

Compliance Parameters: RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected status must be preserved.

Series Constraint: All substitutes must belong to the XLamp® XP-E series from CreeLED, Inc.

The only parameter permitted to vary is color temperature (CCT in Kelvin), provided all other parameters remain unchanged. This allows selection of alternative warm white color temperatures within the same product family while maintaining full electrical, mechanical, and thermal compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The XPEWHT-L1-0000-00BE7 is a direct substitute for the XPEWHT-L1-0000-00BF7 based on identical electrical, mechanical, thermal, and compliance characteristics. Both components maintain Active product status from CreeLED, Inc., ensuring ongoing manufacturer support and supply availability. Both parts are RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting regulatory requirements for restricted substance control.

The sole difference between these parts is color temperature: the main part operates at 3250K while the substitute operates at 3000K. This variation represents a shift toward warmer color rendering and does not affect electrical performance, thermal behavior, or mechanical fit. Selection between these parts depends on the specific color temperature requirement of the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can XPEWHT-L1-0000-00BE7 be used as a direct replacement for XPEWHT-L1-0000-00BF7 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical electrical specifications (3.05V forward voltage, 350mA test current, 1A maximum current), identical optical output (97lm at 350mA, 91 lm/W efficiency, 80 CRI), identical mechanical dimensions (1414 package, 3.45mm x 3.45mm footprint, 2.13mm maximum height), and identical thermal resistance (9°C/W). PCB layout, thermal management, and driver circuitry require no modification.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The XPEWHT-L1-0000-00BF7 emits light at 3250K (warm white), while the XPEWHT-L1-0000-00BE7 emits light at 3000K (warmer white). All other parameters—electrical, optical, mechanical, and thermal—are identical. The 250K difference represents a shift toward warmer color appearance without affecting brightness or efficiency.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging in the 1414 (3535 Metric) surface mount package. Reel specifications, tape pitch, and component orientation are identical, enabling use of the same pick-and-place equipment and assembly processes.

Q: Do these parts have the same compliance certifications?

A: Yes. Both XPEWHT-L1-0000-00BF7 and XPEWHT-L1-0000-00BE7 are RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Both maintain Active product status from CreeLED, Inc.

Q: Can color temperature be mixed on the same PCB?

A: Yes. Both parts can be used on the same board if the application design permits different color temperatures in different locations. However, if uniform color temperature is required across all LEDs, only one part number should be used.

Q: What is the thermal resistance specification, and how does it affect design?

A: Both parts have a thermal resistance of 9°C/W. This specification defines the temperature rise of the LED junction above ambient temperature per watt of power dissipated. At 350mA and 3.05V (1.07W), the junction temperature rise is approximately 9.6°C above the PCB temperature. Thermal design must account for this value when calculating maximum operating temperature.
