Is there a pin-compatible replacement for XL-2835SURC-02?

While several LEDs share the 2835 package, a true pin-to-pin replacement requires matching key electrical parameters. S2-2835SRTA-150m A is form-fit compatible, but its different current rating means it is not a direct drop-in replacement without review.

What risks should I check before replacing XL-2835SURC-02?

Key risks include differences in forward current, which can affect brightness and component lifetime. The substitute's higher 150mA rating (vs. 60mA target) requires verifying your drive circuit's output and the resulting luminous intensity.
