Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed XLamp® XR-E substitutes are active production parts from CreeLED, Inc., ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. The substitutes deliver equivalent optical output (59 lm at 350 mA test current) with improved thermal performance (8°C/W vs. 12°C/W) and higher maximum current ratings (700 mA vs. 500 mA), enabling more efficient thermal management in applications.

For applications requiring warm color temperature: XREWHT-L1-0000-005E8 provides 2700K CCT with CRI 80 (Typ) and maintains all mechanical and electrical compatibility.

For applications with standard white color: XREWHT-L1-0000-005B6, XREWHT-L1-0000-005B7, XREWHT-L1-0000-005B8, and XREWHT-L1-0000-005B9 are functionally equivalent. Selection among these variants depends on inventory availability and specific thermal or binning requirements indicated by part number suffix.

For applications with thermal optimization requirements: Parts with "-R250-" designation (XREWHT-L1-R250-005B6, XREWHT-L1-R250-005B7, XREWHT-L1-R250-005B8, XREWHT-L1-R250-005B9) maintain identical mechanical and optical specifications while offering alternative thermal or performance binning characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can XREWHT-L1-0000-005B6 directly replace XRCWHT-L1-0000-005B6 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical 3529 (9073 Metric) package with matching footprint (9.00 mm × 7.00 mm) and seated height (4.60 mm). No PCB layout modifications are required. The lower forward voltage (3.3 V vs. 4.6 V) reduces power dissipation and improves efficiency.

Q: What is the difference between XREWHT-L1-0000-005B6 and XREWHT-L1-R250-005B6?

A: Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications, optical output (59 lm), forward voltage (3.3 V), and package configuration. The "-R250-" designation indicates alternative thermal or performance binning. Selection depends on specific application requirements and inventory availability. Maximum current specification is not provided for R250 variants.

Q: Is XREWHT-L1-0000-005E8 suitable for applications requiring neutral white light?

A: XREWHT-L1-0000-005E8 is specified as warm white (2700K CCT). For neutral white applications, use XREWHT-L1-0000-005B6, XREWHT-L1-0000-005B7, XREWHT-L1-0000-005B8, or XREWHT-L1-0000-005B9, which do not specify CCT and are suitable for standard white applications.

Q: What are the thermal advantages of the XR-E substitutes?

A: XLamp® XR-E substitutes feature 8°C/W thermal resistance compared to 12°C/W for the original XR-C part. This 33% improvement in thermal performance enables better heat dissipation and supports higher current operation (700 mA vs. 500 mA maximum), extending design flexibility for thermal-constrained applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. All listed XLamp® XR-E substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes. The original XRCWHT-L1-0000-005B6 packaging format is not specified in the provided data.

Q: Do the substitute parts maintain compliance certifications?

A: Yes. All XLamp® XR-E substitutes are RoHS Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and rated MSL 4 (72 Hours), matching the compliance profile of the original part.
