📌 Product Overview
The XL-3014VRC-02 from XINGLIGHT is a high-performance Pinkish Red SMD LED designed for space-constrained lighting and display applications. 📏 Housed in a compact 3.0x1.4x0.8mm package, this component utilizes a red colloid to enhance color purity while maintaining a wide 120° viewing angle.
✨ Design Focus: While the nominal 12lm output at 60mA is attractive, successful integration requires careful attention to its thermal density (200mW max) and MSL 3 moisture sensitivity. It is ideally suited for LCD backlights, decorative rigid strips, and automotive interior lighting where consistent color temperature and SMT automation compatibility are critical.
💡 Typical Applications
Based on the XL-3014VRC-02's optical characteristics (615-630nm wavelength) and form factor, the following use cases are optimal:
- 🏢 Indoor & Commercial Lighting: Ideal for light tubes and light strips where a pinkish-red hue is required for ambiance or branding.
- 📺 LCD Backlighting: Provides stable luminous intensity for display panels and indicator lights.
- 🚗 Automotive Interior Lighting: Suitable for auxiliary lighting inside vehicles, thanks to its robust operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
- 🛠️ Decorative Lighting: Engineered for metal plate hard light strips and advertising boards requiring a wide viewing angle.

👇 Assembly Tip: Ensure the reflow profile does not exceed the specified peak temperatures or dwell times to prevent degradation of the red colloid or internal wire bonds.
🚀 Sourcing & Supply Considerations
When integrating the XL-3014VRC-02 into your supply chain, consider the following factors to ensure quality and availability:
- Bin Consistency: Verify that the supplier maintains consistent bins (e.g., Voltage N13-4, Wavelength HR02) across batches to avoid color shifts in your final product.
- Authenticity: Source only through XINGLIGHT authorized channels to guarantee ROHS compliance and MSL 3 integrity.
- Sample Support: Request engineering samples for validation of the "pinkish-red" visual effect under specific driving currents.
- Lead Time: Standard packaging usually offers better availability than custom-sorted bins; plan your procurement accordingly.
❓ FAQ
Q: What is the main difference between "Pinkish Red" and standard Red LEDs? A: The XL-3014VRC-02 utilizes a specific red colloid and dominant wavelength range (615-630nm) to produce a softer, pinkish tone compared to standard deep red (620-625nm) LEDs. This is often preferred for ambient or decorative lighting.
Q: Can this LED be driven at 80mA for higher brightness? A: ❌ No. The Absolute Maximum Continuous Forward Current is 60mA. Driving it at 80mA will likely cause rapid thermal degradation and failure, even if pulses up to 120mA are allowed for very short durations (≤0.1ms).
Q: What does MSL 3 mean for my production line? A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 means the components must be soldered within 168 hours (1 week) of opening the vacuum-sealed bag. If exposed longer, you must bake them at a specific temperature to remove moisture before reflow to prevent internal cracking.
Q: Is this component suitable for outdoor street lighting? A: ⚠️ Not directly. While the operating temperature supports -40°C, the IP rating of the SMD component itself is not waterproof. It requires a secondary enclosure (lens/gasket) to protect against water ingress and environmental pollutants in outdoor settings.
Q: How do I select the correct bin code? A: Use the Voltage Bin (N13-3 to N13-5) to match your driver's output range and ensure uniform brightness. Use the Wavelength Bin (HR01-HR03) to ensure the pinkish-red color is consistent across all light strips in a single installation.
