XL-3020UWC SMD LED — Technical Specifications & Design Guide

📌 Product Overview

The XL-3020UWC is a 3020 package (3.0x2.0mm) Surface Mount Device (SMD) LED designed by XINGLIGHT. 💡 It features a white light source with a color temperature range of 6000K to 7000K (Cool White), encapsulated in a yellow colloid for optimal light extraction. This component is specifically engineered for high-density automated assembly processes.

The design focus for this model balances luminous intensity (4-8 lm) with a wide 120-degree viewing angle, making it ideal for uniform illumination strips. 👇 Its compact footprint and low thermal mass require strict adherence to moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 3) to prevent pop-corning during infrared reflow soldering.

🚀 Typical Applications

Based on the 120-degree beam angle and compact 3020 form factor, the XL-3020UWC is best suited for applications requiring efficient space utilization and diffuse lighting:

  • Indoor General Lighting: ✨ Utilized in fluorescent tube replacements, rigid light bars, and residential downlights where consistent color temperature is critical.
  • Commercial & Signage: High suitability for advertising light boxes and illuminated channel letters (advertising words) due to the 120° dispersion.
  • LCD Backlighting: Provides uniform edge lighting for liquid crystal displays.
  • Decorative Flex Strips: 📈 Designed for flexible circuit boards where low profile (1.3mm height) is a mechanical necessity.

⚡ Key Technical Specifications

The following optical and electrical parameters are measured under standard test conditions (Ta=25°C, IF=20mA).

📦 Package, Dimensions & Assembly Notes

The XL-3020UWC utilizes a standard 3020 SMD footprint with a low profile height of 1.3mm.

  • Dimensions: 3.0mm (L) x 2.0mm (W) x 1.3mm (H).
  • Moisture Sensitivity: 🚨 This component is classified as MSL 3. Devices must be baked (pre-conditioned) if the floor life has been exceeded before reflow soldering to prevent internal cracking.
  • Soldering Process: Suitable for Infrared Reflow Soldering.
    • Lead-Free Process: Peak temp 255°C (+0/-5°C), time above 217°C: 60-120s.
    • Lead Process: Peak temp 235°C (+5/-0°C), time above 183°C: 60-150s.
  • Packaging: EIA standard compliant tape and reel for automated SMT pick-and-place machines.

🛒 Sourcing & Supply Considerations

  • Bin Selection: Verify specific grading codes for Brightness (H3-H5) and Voltage (N13) to ensure uniformity in your final product.
  • Authenticity: Source through XINGLIGHT authorized channels to guarantee compliance with ROHS environmental directives.
  • Sample Evaluation: 👇 Request pre-production samples to validate the 6000K-7000K color temperature consistency against your specific housing materials.
  • Handling: Ensure storage in a dry cabinet to maintain MSL 3 integrity.

❓ FAQ

Q: What is the forward current required for the XL-3020UWC? A: The typical test current is 20mA. The absolute maximum continuous forward current is 20mA; do not exceed this without proper heat sinking to avoid thermal rollover.

Q: Can I use this LED for outdoor lighting applications? A: While the operating temperature supports -40°C to +85°C, this model is primarily categorized for Indoor and Commercial lighting. For outdoor use, ensure the IP rating of the final fixture protects the internal LED components from moisture ingress.

Q: What does "MSL 3" mean for my assembly process? A: MSL 3 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 3) means the components are sensitive to moisture. They must be mounted within 168 hours (1 week) of opening the vacuum-sealed bag, or they must be baked at a specific temperature to drive out moisture before reflow soldering.

Q: What is the maximum soldering temperature allowed? A: The maximum soldering temperature is 260°C for a duration not exceeding 6 seconds (manual soldering). For reflow, follow the profile: 255°C (Peak) for lead-free or 235°C (Peak) for leaded processes.

Q: What is the viewing angle of this LED? A: The XL-3020UWC features a wide 120-degree viewing angle, making it suitable for area lighting and backlighting where broad light dispersion is required.

Q: How do I order a specific color temperature? A: You must specify the bin code. For 6000K-6500K, use code UW8-10; for 6500K-7000K, use code UW11-10.
