XL-5050UWC 5050 SMD LED: SMT Integration & Thermal Load Analysis

📌 Product Overview

💡 The XINGLIGHT XL-5050UWC is a standard 5050 package SMD LED featuring high-brightness white emission with a colloid color of Yellow. Designed to meet ROHS environmental standards, this component is optimized for automated assembly lines, supporting both infrared reflow soldering and SMT placement processes. With a compact footprint of 5.0x5.0x1.6mm, it addresses the need for uniform luminosity in space-constrained solid-state lighting designs.

💼 Typical Applications

This component is engineered for general illumination requiring consistent light output and wide beam dispersion.

  • Commercial & Retail Lighting: Shop lighting, jewelry display cabinets, and counter lighting to enhance product visibility.
  • Signage & Advertising: Luminescent characters and advertising module lighting.
  • Ambient & Auxiliary: Indoor lighting systems and auxiliary functional lighting fixtures requiring a 120-degree viewing angle.

⚡ Key Technical Specifications

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

ParameterSymbolMin.Typ.Max.UnitTest Conditions
Luminous IntensityΦ20-33LMIF = 60mA
Color TemperatureTC6000-7000KIF = 60mA
Forward VoltageVf2.8-3.4VIF = 60mA
Viewing Angle2θ1/2--120DegIF = 60mA
Reverse CurrentIr--5μAVR = 5V

🚨 Absolute Maximum Ratings & Process Limits

Exceeding these parameters risks irreversible damage to the LED junction.
🔒 Thermal & Power Limits: Max Power Dissipation (Pd) is 200mW.
⚠️ Current Thresholds: Max Continuous Forward Current is 60mA; Peak Forward Current is 120mA (Condition: Pulse width ≤0.1ms, Duty ≤1/10).
🌡️ Temperature Range: Operating and Storage ranges are -40°C to +85°C.
🛡️ ESD & MSL: Antistatic ability is 2000V; Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is rated at Level 3, requiring specific handling prior to reflow to prevent popcorning.

📦 Package, Dimensions & Assembly Notes

🚀 Sourcing & Supply Considerations

When procuring the XL-5050UWC for mass production, verify the specific binning codes for brightness (J1-J3), voltage (N13-3 to N13-5), and color temperature (UW9-10 / UW11-10) to ensure color uniformity across batches. For engineering samples or supply chain verification, please consult authorized XINGLIGHT channels to confirm current lead times and packaging specifications (tape and reel quantities).

❓ FAQ

Q: What does the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 3 mean for production?
A: An MSL of 3 means the components can withstand floor life of up to 168 hours (one week) in ambient conditions (<30°C/60% RH) after opening the vacuum-sealed bag before they must be reflowed to avoid moisture-induced damage.

Q: What is the recommended reflow soldering profile for this LED?
A: For lead-free soldering, the peak temperature should not exceed 255°C (with a tolerance of -5°C), and the time the component spends above 217°C should be between 60 and 120 seconds.

Q: How is the brightness graded for this model?
A: Luminous flux is sorted into bins J1 (20-23 LM), J2 (23-27 LM), and J3 (27-33 LM) at 60mA. Selecting a single bin code ensures visual consistency in the final product.

Q: What is the maximum allowable current for pulse operation?
A: The peak forward current can reach 120mA, provided the pulse width is ≤0.1ms and the duty cycle does not exceed 1/10. The continuous DC current must not exceed 60mA.

Q: Does this LED comply with environmental regulations?
A: Yes, the XL-5050UWC is manufactured using environmentally friendly processes and complies with the ROHS Directive.
