XPGWHT-01-0000-00EC3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The XPGWHT-01-0000-00EC3 is a CreeLED XLamp® XP-G surface mount LED in neutral white 4300K color temperature. This active product delivers 118 lm at 350mA test current with a forward voltage of 2.9V typical and 125° viewing angle in a compact 1414 (3535 Metric) package. The part is RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, suitable for general illumination applications requiring neutral white spectral output. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, regional availability, or application-specific color temperature requirements within the XLamp® XP-G series.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the XLamp® XP-G series is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter compatibility. The primary substitution criterion is the maintenance of identical electrical characteristics: forward voltage (2.9V typical), test current (350mA), maximum current (1.5A), and optical output (118 lm at 350mA). The mechanical package specification (1414 / 3535 Metric) and mounting type (surface mount) must remain unchanged to ensure PCB compatibility without redesign.

Color temperature (CCT) variation within the neutral white range (4000K to 4300K) is permissible for applications where spectral output flexibility exists. The CRI value of 70 (typical) and viewing angle of 125° are fixed parameters that define the optical performance class and must not vary in substitution.

All substitute parts must maintain active product status, RoHS compliance, and REACH unaffected designation to ensure regulatory and supply chain continuity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the main part XPGWHT-01-0000-00EC3 and the substitute XPGWHT-01-0000-00EE5 are active products from CreeLED, Inc., with identical RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is based on color temperature requirement and inventory availability.

The XPGWHT-01-0000-00EC3 operates at 4300K, positioning it in the warmer neutral white range. The XPGWHT-01-0000-00EE5 operates at 4000K, representing a cooler neutral white output. Both maintain identical electrical performance (2.9V forward voltage, 350mA test current, 118 lm output) and mechanical compatibility (1414 package, surface mount, 3.45mm × 3.45mm footprint).

Selection should be based on application-specific color temperature tolerance and circuit design requirements. No electrical redesign is required when substituting between these parts. Compliance certifications remain consistent across both options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can XPGWHT-01-0000-00EE5 be used as a direct replacement for XPGWHT-01-0000-00EC3?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (2.9V forward voltage, 350mA test current, 1.5A maximum current), optical output (118 lm at 350mA), and mechanical package (1414 / 3535 Metric, surface mount). The only difference is color temperature: 4300K versus 4000K. Direct PCB substitution is possible without circuit modification.

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

A: Both are classified as neutral white. The 4300K variant (XPGWHT-01-0000-00EC3) produces a slightly warmer appearance, while the 4000K variant (XPGWHT-01-0000-00EE5) produces a slightly cooler appearance. The difference is perceptually subtle and both fall within the neutral white spectrum. Selection depends on application lighting requirements.

Q: Are there any thermal or electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical thermal resistance (4°C/W), CRI (70 typical), viewing angle (125°), and lumens per watt efficiency (116 lm/W). Thermal management and electrical circuit design remain unchanged.

Q: Do both parts have the same packaging and tape specifications?

A: Yes. Both are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging with identical component dimensions (0.136" × 0.136" / 3.45mm × 3.45mm) and seated height (0.084" / 2.13mm maximum). Reel handling and pick-and-place equipment compatibility are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both XPGWHT-01-0000-00EC3 and XPGWHT-01-0000-00EE5 are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, ensuring regulatory compliance for EU and global markets.

Q: Which part should I select if color temperature is not critical?

A: Selection can be based on inventory availability and lead time. The XPGWHT-01-0000-00EE5 shows higher inventory (1623 pcs) compared to XPGWHT-01-0000-00EC3 (714 pcs). If color temperature tolerance exists in the application, the higher-inventory part may offer supply chain advantages.
