📌 Product Overview
The XL-4014UGC-02 is a surface-mount device (SMD) from XINGLIGHT, featuring a 4014 package size (4.0mm x 1.4mm x 0.8mm) with high-brightness Emerald green emission. 🟢 It utilizes a transparent colloid to maximize luminous intensity while maintaining a compact footprint suitable for high-density board layouts. This component is engineered primarily for efficiency in indoor lighting and display backlights, requiring strict current control to maintain lifespan and color consistency.
💡 Typical Applications
- Indoor Illumination: Linear modules and light strips requiring consistent 120-degree beam angles.
- Backlighting: LCD displays and indicator panels where space constraints are critical.
- Commercial Signage: Advertising boards and light boxes utilizing high-intensity bins (G3-G6).
- Automotive Interiors: Auxiliary lighting and dashboard indicators.
- Decorative Lighting: Rigid light strips for architectural or accent lighting purposes.

📦 Package, Dimensions & Assembly Notes
The component adheres to the EIA standard 4014 footprint:
- Dimensions: 4.0 (L) x 1.4 (W) x 0.8 (H) mm.
- Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 3 (Floor life: 168 hours at ≤30°C/60% RH).
- Soldering: Compatible with infrared reflow.
- Lead-free: Peak 255°C (t ≤ 10s).
- Lead (SnPb): Peak 235°C (t ≤ 15s).
- SMT Process: Recommended for automated pick-and-place and standard reflow profiles.
🚀 Sourcing & Supply Considerations
- Binning Management: Verify specific Brightness (G3-G6) and Voltage (N13) codes to match driver design requirements.
- Authenticity: Ensure packaging bears the correct EIA standard labels and XINGLIGHT branding.
- MSL Compliance: Components must be re-baked if exposed beyond MSL 3 limits prior to reflow to prevent pop-corning.
- Procurement: Sample testing for wavelength consistency is advised for new batch introductions.
❓ FAQ
Q: What is the maximum forward current for safe operation?
A: The maximum continuous forward current is 60 mA. However, pulses can reach up to 120 mA provided the pulse width is ≤ 0.1ms and the duty cycle is ≤ 10%.
Q: What does MSL 3 mean for this component?
A: MSL 3 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 3) means the LED can be exposed to the factory floor (30°C/60% RH) for a maximum of 168 hours after the moisture barrier bag is opened before it must be soldered to avoid internal damage.
Q: What is the viewing angle of the XL-4014UGC-02?
A: The typical viewing angle (2Ø1/2) is 120 degrees. This makes it suitable for general area lighting and backlighting where wide light dispersion is required.
Q: Are there specific voltage bins available for this LED?
A: Yes, the datasheet specifies voltage grading codes N13-3 (2.8-3.0V), N13-4 (3.0-3.2V), and N13-5 (3.2-3.4V) tested at 60mA. Selecting a specific bin helps in designing series circuits with uniform voltage drops.
