Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the XRCWHT-L1-0000-003E3 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

  • Color temperature: 5000K (cool white)
  • Forward voltage range: 4.6V nominal
  • Operating current: 350mA test current
  • Viewing angle: 90°

Mechanical Compatibility:

  • Package type: 3529 (9073 Metric)
  • Surface mount configuration
  • Physical footprint: 9.00mm × 7.00mm
  • Maximum seated height: 4.60mm

Regulatory & Environmental:

  • RoHS Compliant
  • MSL Rating 4 (72 Hours)

The XREWHT-L1-0000-006A1 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching color temperature (5000K), package geometry (3529), mounting type (surface mount), viewing angle (90°), and regulatory compliance. Variations in forward voltage (3.3V vs. 4.6V), luminous flux output, and thermal resistance are within acceptable substitution parameters for this product category.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The XREWHT-L1-0000-006A1 is the designated substitute for the obsolete XRCWHT-L1-0000-003E3. Selection is based on:

Product Status: The main part is classified as obsolete, while the substitute is active, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain RoHS Compliant status and identical MSL ratings (4, 72 Hours), confirming equivalent environmental and handling requirements.

Electrical & Mechanical Compatibility: Identical color temperature (5000K), test current (350mA), viewing angle (90°), and package geometry (3529, 9.00mm × 7.00mm × 4.60mm) ensure direct functional replacement in existing circuit designs.

Performance Characteristics: The substitute delivers higher luminous flux (65lm vs. 49lm) and improved efficacy (56 lm/W vs. 40 lm/W) at the same test current, with a lower forward voltage (3.3V vs. 4.6V) and superior thermal resistance (8°C/W vs. 12°C/W). These improvements represent generational advancement within the XLamp® product line.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the XREWHT-L1-0000-006A1 be used as a direct replacement for the XRCWHT-L1-0000-003E3?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical color temperature (5000K), test current (350mA), viewing angle (90°), and package dimensions (3529 metric, 9.00mm × 7.00mm × 4.60mm). The substitute is electrically and mechanically compatible for direct board-level substitution.

Q: What is the difference in forward voltage between these parts?

A: The main part operates at 4.6V typical, while the substitute operates at 3.3V typical. This 0.2V difference is within acceptable substitution parameters and may require minor circuit adjustments in voltage-sensitive applications.

Q: Why does the substitute have higher luminous flux output?

A: The XREWHT-L1-0000-006A1 represents a newer generation within the XLamp® product line (XR-E vs. XR-C), incorporating improved LED die technology that delivers 65lm versus 49lm at the same 350mA test current.

Q: Are the thermal characteristics different?

A: Yes. The substitute has superior thermal resistance (8°C/W vs. 12°C/W), indicating better heat dissipation performance. This improvement is typical of newer LED generations and does not affect substitution compatibility.

Q: What is the difference in packaging format?

A: The main part is supplied in bulk packaging, while the substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both are surface mount components with identical footprints and can be used interchangeably in production environments.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the XRCWHT-L1-0000-003E3 and XREWHT-L1-0000-006A1 are RoHS Compliant with identical MSL ratings (4, 72 Hours), confirming equivalent environmental and handling compliance.

Q: What is the color temperature specification for both parts?

A: Both parts are specified as cool white at 5000K color temperature, ensuring identical color output in lighting applications.
