🔧 Key Technical Specifications
Under standard test conditions (Ta=25°C, IF=20mA), the XL-2214BGWC delivers a luminous intensity (IV) ranging from 2000 to 2600 mcd. Its chromaticity coordinates are typically X=0.20 and Y=0.29, providing a consistent ice blue hue. The device features a wide 120° viewing angle and a forward voltage (VF) between 2.7V and 3.3V. Brightness is available in three bins (F7, F8, F9), and voltage in three bins (N11-8, N11-9, N12-1) to support precise color and voltage matching.

⚠️ Absolute Maximum Ratings & Process Limits
To ensure device longevity and prevent catastrophic failure, operating and process parameters must not exceed these absolute maximum ratings. The continuous forward current is 20 mA, with a peak pulse current of 80 mA under specific conditions. Power dissipation must be limited to 70 mW. The device is rated for an operation and storage temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. For manual rework, a soldering iron under 30W must be used, with contact time limited to under 3 seconds per terminal at a temperature below 300°C.

📦 Package, Dimensions & Assembly Notes
The XL-2214BGWC utilizes a standard EIA-compliant tape-and-reel packaging suitable for SMT placement machines. Its outline dimensions are 2.2x1.4x1.35mm (LxWxH), with a tolerance of ±0.25mm unless otherwise specified. The device is fully compatible with infrared reflow soldering processes. Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is 3, requiring standard handling precautions in a controlled humidity environment. Reflow soldering should not be performed more than twice to avoid damage.
📈 Sourcing & Supply Considerations
- Brightness & Voltage Binning: Ensure you specify the correct brightness (F7-F9) and voltage (N11-8 to N12-1) bin for your application to maintain product consistency.
- Packaging: Standard EIA tape-and-reel packaging is available, confirming compatibility with automated SMT assembly lines.
- Authenticity: Source from authorized distributors or directly from XINGLIGHT to guarantee product authenticity and avoid counterfeit components that can compromise reliability.
❓ FAQ
Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for the XL-2214BGWC? A: The XL-2214BGWC has an MSL of 3. This means it must be stored in a dry environment and baked according to standard JEDEC guidelines if exposed to ambient conditions for an extended period before soldering.
Q: Can this LED be used in automotive interior lighting applications? A: Yes, its operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and robust construction make it suitable for automotive interior lighting. However, final application-specific qualification testing (e.g., AEC-Q102) is recommended.
Q: What is the recommended soldering process for this SMD LED? A: The XL-2214BGWC is designed for infrared reflow soldering. For manual repair or rework, use a soldering iron under 30W, keep the tip temperature below 300°C, and limit contact to a maximum of 3 seconds per terminal.
Q: How does the brightness binning work? A: Luminous intensity is graded into three bins (F7: 2000-2200 mcd, F8: 2200-2400 mcd, F9: 2400-2600 mcd) at IF=20mA. This allows for precise color and brightness matching in arrays or multi-LED designs.
Q: What is the maximum number of reflow soldering cycles allowed? A: To prevent damage from thermal stress, the XL-2214BGWC should not undergo more than two reflow soldering cycles.
