Procurement Notes

Verify the specific binning codes for chromaticity and luminous flux prior to ordering, as these parameters vary within the product line. Ensure that the thermal design of the final application aligns with the datasheet recommendations for junction temperature. Confirm compatibility with existing driver specifications regarding forward voltage ranges. Request detailed test reports from authorized distributors to validate batch consistency and quality standards before large-scale procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on required lumen output and thermal constraints rather than generic brightness metrics. Evaluate the thermal resistance of the PCB layout to ensure adequate heat dissipation for the ceramic package. Consider the optical requirements of the fixture, including beam angle and lens compatibility. Verify that the driving current matches the recommended operating conditions to maximize efficiency and lifespan without exceeding absolute maximum ratings.

Part Context

This part belongs to the XLamp 512A family, which represents Cree's transition toward ceramic-based high-power LEDs. The series offers improved thermal conductivity compared to traditional epoxy packages. It serves as a direct upgrade path for applications previously using lower-efficiency SMD emitters. The 512A form factor allows for compact fixture designs while delivering high photometric performance suitable for modern energy-efficient lighting standards.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the ceramic package dimensions and pin configuration. Verify that substitute components offer comparable thermal resistance and luminous efficacy. Check for compatible forward voltage ranges to ensure seamless integration with existing drivers. Consult official substitution guides for cross-referenced parts with identical binning capabilities.
