Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MX3AWT-A1-0000-0009B8 is identified as a substitute based on the following alignment criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: CreeLED, Inc.
• Color: White
• Viewing Angle: 120°
• Package / Case: 2-SMD, Gull Wing Exposed Pad
• Size / Dimension: 5.00mm × 5.00mm
• Height - Seated (Max): 1.48mm
• Thermal Resistance of Package: 11°C/W
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 2A (4 Weeks)

Differing Parameters:

• Series: XLamp® MX-3 (substitute) vs. XLamp® MX-3S (main part)
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Typ): 3.7V (substitute) vs. 10.7V (main part)
• Current - Test: 350mA (substitute) vs. 115mA (main part)
• Lumens/Watt @ Current - Test: 65 lm/W (substitute) vs. 68 lm/W (main part)
• Product Status: Active (substitute) vs. Obsolete (main part)

The substitute shares identical mechanical and thermal characteristics but operates at significantly different electrical parameters. Circuit-level design modifications are required for voltage and current compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX3AWT-A1-0000-0009B8 substitute is available in active product status with RoHS compliance certification, whereas the MX3SWT-A1-0000-0009B8 is obsolete. Both components maintain identical REACH unaffected status and equivalent thermal characteristics.

Selection of the substitute requires circuit redesign to accommodate the 3.7V forward voltage and 350mA test current specifications, which differ substantially from the main part's 10.7V and 115mA parameters. The substitute delivers equivalent luminous flux (84lm) at its specified test current, with marginally lower efficiency (65 lm/W vs. 68 lm/W).

Mechanical and thermal compatibility is confirmed across both parts, enabling direct footprint reuse without PCB layout modifications. The substitute's higher maximum current rating (500mA vs. 175mA) provides additional operational headroom within the same package envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX3AWT-A1-0000-0009B8 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX3SWT-A1-0000-0009B8?

A: No. While both parts share identical mechanical dimensions, package type, and thermal characteristics, the forward voltage differs by 7.0V (10.7V vs. 3.7V) and test current differs by 235mA (115mA vs. 350mA). Direct substitution without circuit modification will result in component failure or inadequate performance.

Q: Are the package dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both components use a 2-SMD gull wing exposed pad package with dimensions of 5.00mm × 5.00mm and maximum seated height of 1.48mm. PCB footprints are mechanically compatible.

Q: What is the thermal performance difference?

A: Both parts have identical thermal resistance of 11°C/W. Thermal management considerations remain unchanged between the main part and substitute.

Q: Does the substitute meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts maintain REACH unaffected status. The substitute additionally carries RoHS compliance certification. Both are classified as MSL 2A with 4-week moisture sensitivity windows.

Q: What is the luminous flux difference at test conditions?

A: Both parts deliver 84lm at their respective test currents (115mA for the main part, 350mA for the substitute). Efficiency differs slightly: 68 lm/W for the main part versus 65 lm/W for the substitute.
