📌 Product Overview
The XINGLIGHT XL-3014UGC-02 is a high-performance Green SMD LED designed for the 3014 package standard (3.0x1.4x0.8mm). It features a transparent colloid optimized for a dominant wavelength of 520–525nm, delivering a luminous intensity ranging from 3800 to 6000 mcd at 60mA. 💡 This component is engineered specifically for applications requiring high brightness and compact form factors.
Target applications include indoor lighting fixtures, commercial signage, and LCD backlights. 🚀 Designers should focus on the 120° viewing angle and forward voltage variance (2.8V–3.4V) to ensure uniform light distribution and efficient driver compatibility in their specific circuit designs.
💡 Typical Applications
Based on its robust optical characteristics and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3), the XL-3014UGC-02 is suitable for a wide range of environments:
- Indoor Lighting: Ideal for lamp tubes and flexible light strips where high-intensity output is necessary.
- Commercial Display: Effective for advertising boards and channel letters requiring consistent green luminosity.
- LCD Backlighting: Provides reliable color purity for display panels.
- Decorative & Automotive: Suitable for metal plate hard light strips and internal auxiliary automotive lighting.
- General Electronics: Useful for status indicators and other display categories requiring SMT automation.

📦 Package, Dimensions & Assembly Notes
The XL-3014UGC-02 utilizes a standard 3014 footprint with compact dimensions of 3.0 x 1.4 x 0.8 mm. This small form factor allows for high-density array designs on PCBs.
- Soldering Compatibility: Suitable for both infrared reflow soldering and automated SMT production.
- Reflow Profile:
- Lead-Free Process: Max temp 255°C ($+0/-5^\circ\text{C}$) for 5-10 seconds.
- Lead Process: Max temp 235°C ($+5/-0^\circ\text{C}$) for 10-15 seconds.
- Moisture Sensitivity: Classified as MSL 3. Ensure proper baking and handling if the components have been exposed to ambient humidity for extended periods before reflow to prevent "popcorning" or internal cracking.
📈 Sourcing & Supply Considerations
When integrating the XL-3014UGC-02 into mass production, consider the following supply chain factors:
- Bin Consistency: Specify brightness (G5-G9) and voltage (N13) codes upfront to ensure batch-to-batch consistency in light output and power consumption.
- Packaging: Components are shipped in EIA standard compliant packaging, optimized for high-speed SMT pick-and-place machines.
- Authenticity: Always source through authorized channels to verify ROHS compliance and avoid counterfeit components that may not meet the specified reliability standards.
❓ FAQ
Q: What is the maximum current I can drive the XL-3014UGC-02 with continuously? A: The absolute maximum continuous forward current is 60mA. While it can handle peaks up to 120mA, this is strictly for pulses $\le 0.1\text{ms}$ with a duty cycle of 1/10. Driving it continuously above 60mA will degrade the lifespan.
Q: Does this LED require a specific soldering profile for lead-free assembly? A: Yes. For lead-free processes, the peak temperature should not exceed 255°C ($+0/-5^\circ\text{C}$) and should be held for only 5-10 seconds. Exceeding this time or temperature can damage the internal phosphor or bond wires.
Q: What does "MSL 3" mean for my assembly process? A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 means the components are sensitive to moisture absorption. If the floor life (exposed to ambient $<30^\circ\text{C}/60%\text{RH}$) exceeds 168 hours, you must bake the components before reflow soldering to prevent internal damage.
Q: How wide is the light beam for this specific LED? A: The typical viewing angle ($2\theta_{1/2}$) is 120 degrees. This wide angle makes it suitable for general area lighting and backlighting where diffused light is preferred over a focused spot.
Q: What is the typical forward voltage I should design my driver for? A: The forward voltage range is broad: 2.8V to 3.4V at 60mA. Your driver should accommodate the maximum (3.4V) to ensure consistent brightness, or you should select the specific voltage bin (e.g., N13-4) for tighter regulation.
