📌 Product Overview
The XL-3030UWC-1W is a high-brightness SMD LED designed by XINGLIGHT for robust general illumination. 💡 Housed in a compact 3030 package (3.0x3.0x0.6mm), this component features a 6V forward voltage architecture, making it ideal for series-connected lighting strips where fewer parallel branches are desired. 👇 While the nominal power is 1W, successful implementation relies heavily on managing the 150mA forward current and understanding the specific luminous flux bins to ensure color consistency in the final product.
🚀 Typical Applications
Based on its 6V electrical characteristics and 120-degree viewing angle, this component is optimized for uniform light distribution:
- Indoor Illumination: 💡 Ideal for LED tubes, residential light strips, and downlights requiring consistent 6000K-7000K white light.
- Commercial Signage: 👇 Suitable for advertising light boxes and channel letters where high brightness (up to 130lm) and wide beam angles are critical.
- Backlighting: ✨ Effective for LCD backlighting in panels and displays requiring a compact footprint.
- Decorative Flex Strips: 📈 Designed for flexible light strips used in accent or cove lighting architectures.
📊 Key Technical Specifications
The following optical and electrical parameters are measured under standard test conditions (Ta=25°C, IF=150mA). Designers should pay close attention to the forward voltage range and luminous flux bins for circuit stability.
| Parameter | Symbol | Test Conditions | Min | Typ | Max | Units |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Forward Voltage | VF | IF = 150mA | 6.0 | -- | 6.4 | V |
| Luminous Flux | Φ | IF = 150mA | 100 | -- | 130 | LM |
| Color Temperature | CCT | IF = 150mA | 6000 | -- | 7000 | K |
| Viewing Angle | 2θ1/2 | IF = 150mA | -- | 120 | -- | Deg |
| Reverse Current | IR | VR = 5V | -- | -- | 5 | μA |
Note: Brightness is graded via codes K3-K5, and voltage is graded N15-1/N15-2.
🔒 Absolute Maximum Ratings & Process Limits
Exceeding these parameters may cause permanent device failure. 💡 These ratings are critical for setting safety margins in your driver design and thermal management systems.
| Parameter | Symbol | Ratings | Units |

Note: Pulse current conditions assume a pulse width ≤0.1ms and a duty cycle ≤1/10.
📦 Package, Dimensions & Assembly Notes
The XL-3030UWC-1W utilizes a standard 3030 SMD footprint with a yellow colloid. 👇 The physical dimensions are 3.0x3.0x0.6mm, making it compatible with high-speed automatic mounters (EIA standard packaging).
Soldering Guidelines:
- Reflow Soldering: ✨ Recommended for mass production. The profile must be Pb-Free. ⚠️ Critical: Reflow soldering should not be performed more than twice. Do not apply mechanical stress to the LED during heating.
- Hand Soldering: 🚫 Only recommended for repair. Use an iron <30W, keep tip <300℃, and limit duration to <3 seconds per terminal.
- MSL Level: 3 (Ensure proper baking before reflow if moisture exposure is suspected).
🛍️ Sourcing & Supply Considerations
When sourcing the XL-3030UWC-1W for mass production, consider the following supply chain factors:
- Bin Selection: 💡 Specify brightness (K3-K5) and voltage (N15-1/N15-2) codes early to ensure batch consistency.
- Authenticity: Verify suppliers to avoid counterfeits that may not meet the 2000V ESD or 1000hr reliability specs.
- Packaging: Confirm EIA standard tape and reel quantities to align with your SMT pick-and-place setup.
❓ FAQ
Q: What is the recommended drive current for optimal lifespan? A: The typical drive current is 150mA. While the absolute maximum is higher, maintaining 150mA ensures the luminous flux stays within the 100-130lm range and minimizes thermal degradation.
Q: Can this LED be used in a sealed outdoor fixture? A: Yes, provided the operating temperature stays within -40°C to +85°C. However, as an MSL 3 component, moisture ingress during the assembly process must be controlled prior to sealing.
Q: Why does the datasheet specify "No Stress" during soldering? A: 💡 Applying mechanical pressure to the 3030 package while the solder paste is molten can cause micro-cracks in the internal die bonding or wire bonds, leading to premature failure.
Q: How should I handle the voltage binning (N15-1 vs N15-2)? A: The forward voltage varies between 6.0V and 6.4V. For constant current drivers, this is manageable, but for series strings, mixing bins can cause current imbalance. It is best to source a single bin code per production lot.
Q: What does the 120-degree viewing angle imply for my optics? A: 👇 This is a wide-angle emission source. If you require a narrow spotlight, you will need secondary optics (lenses or reflectors) to collimate the beam, as the raw LED output is very diffuse.
