📌 Product Overview
The XL-3014UGC-01 from XINGLIGHT is a high-performance Surface Mount Device (SMD) LED designed for compact lighting solutions. 📏 Featuring a miniature 3.0x1.4x0.8mm outline, this component utilizes a transparent colloid to deliver a dominant green wavelength (typically 520-525nm) with a wide 120° viewing angle.
💡 Target applications range from LCD backlights to rigid light strips and decorative signage. While the nominal optical performance is critical, successful integration relies heavily on managing the 40mA forward current limit and adhering to the MSL 3 moisture sensitivity requirements during PCB assembly.
🚀 Typical Applications
Based on the 120° emission angle and compact 3014 footprint, this component is optimized for:
- Indoor Illumination: High-density lamp tubes and flexible light strips.
- Commercial Signage: Advertising boards requiring uniform green light diffusion.
- Consumer Electronics: LCD backlights for display panels and indicators.
- Automotive Interiors: Auxiliary dashboard and cabin lighting.
- Decorative Lighting: Metal plate hard light strips for architectural accents.

🔒 Moisture Sensitivity: The component is classified as MSL 3. Floor life at <30°C/60% RH is 168 hours. Baking is required before infrared reflow if exposed beyond this limit.
📦 Package, Dimensions & Assembly Notes
- Outline: The package measures 3.0 x 1.4 x 0.8mm (L x W x H).
- Soldering: Compatible with standard SMT automatic production and infrared reflow processes.
- Reflow Profile (Lead-Free):
- Peak Temp: 255°C (Max 260°C)
- Time above 217°C: 60-120 seconds
- Cooling Rate: Max 6°C/second
- Solderability: Verified per JIS C 7021 A-2; immersion in 235°C solder for 2±0.5 seconds results in ≥95% tin coverage.
🛒 Sourcing & Supply Considerations
- Authenticity: Verify packaging marks (EIA standard) to ensure genuine XINGLIGHT components.
- Bin Consistency: Specify brightness (H4/H5) and voltage (N13) codes when ordering large batches to avoid visual discontinuity.
- Storage: Store in dry packaging (<10% RH) to prevent moisture ingress before assembly.
- Samples: Request pre-production samples to validate thermal performance in your specific heat sink environment.
❓ FAQ
Q: What is the maximum current I can drive the XL-3014UGC-01 with continuously? A: The Absolute Maximum Rating for continuous forward current is 40mA. While pulses up to 100mA are allowed (≤0.1ms pulse width), driving it above 40mA continuously will risk thermal degradation and shorten lifespan.
Q: Can this LED be used in a lead-free soldering process? A: Yes, the datasheet explicitly supports a Lead-Free process. The peak temperature can reach 255°C (with a -5°C tolerance), and the time above 217°C should be controlled between 60-120 seconds.
Q: What does MSL 3 mean for my production line? A: MSL 3 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 3) means the components have a floor life of 168 hours (1 week) once opened. If they sit on the floor longer than that before reflow, you must bake them (per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033) to prevent "popcorning" or internal cracking during soldering.
Q: How do I ensure the light color is uniform across my product? A: You should order based on the Dominant Wavelength Bin codes (HG02, HG03, HG04). For example, requesting only HG03 ensures all LEDs fall strictly between 520nm and 525nm, eliminating visible color variation on your light strips or LCD backlights.
Q: What is the typical Forward Voltage I should design my driver for? A: The forward voltage ranges from 2.8V to 3.4V at 40mA. For driver design, account for the maximum (3.4V) to ensure sufficient headroom, and use the minimum (2.8V) to calculate current limiting resistor values to prevent over-current.
Q: Is this component suitable for outdoor applications? A: The datasheet specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. While suitable for internal automotive lighting or indoor fixtures, it is not rated for extreme outdoor environments unless fully encapsulated and protected from direct water ingress and UV exposure.
