MX3SWT-A1-0000-000AA6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MX3SWT-A1-0000-000AA6 is a CreeLED XLamp® MX-3S warm white LED (3500K) designed for surface mount applications. This part operates at 10.7V forward voltage with a test current of 115mA, delivering 91 lumens at 25°C with a color rendering index of 80. The component features a 2-SMD gull wing exposed pad package with 120° viewing angle and is housed in a 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint.

The MX3SWT-A1-0000-000AA6 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for production and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000AA6 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Color and CCT: Both the main part and substitute must be white with 3500K correlated color temperature to maintain color consistency in lighting applications.

Viewing Angle: The 120° viewing angle is a functional requirement for the optical design and must be preserved in substitute parts.

Package Type: The 2-SMD gull wing exposed pad configuration with 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint and 1.48mm maximum seated height ensures mechanical and thermal compatibility with existing PCB layouts.

CRI: A color rendering index of 80 (typical) is required to maintain color quality specifications.

The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AA6 qualifies as a substitute based on matching color, CCT, viewing angle, package dimensions, and CRI. However, this substitute operates at significantly different electrical parameters (3.7V forward voltage, 350mA test current) compared to the main part, requiring circuit redesign and thermal management evaluation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AA6 is the identified substitute for the obsolete MX3SWT-A1-0000-000AA6. This substitute maintains optical and mechanical compatibility through identical color temperature (3500K), color rendering index (80), viewing angle (120°), and physical package dimensions.

The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AA6 carries active product status from CreeLED, Inc., ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. This part is RoHS compliant and carries identical REACH and ECCN classifications as the main part.

Critical design consideration: The substitute operates at 3.7V forward voltage and 350mA test current, compared to 10.7V and 115mA for the main part. This represents a fundamental change in electrical characteristics requiring complete circuit redesign, including power supply topology, current limiting, and thermal management. The substitute delivers equivalent luminous flux (91 lumens) but at lower efficiency (70 lm/W versus 74 lm/W).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AA6 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000AA6?

A: No. While both parts share identical optical properties (color, CCT, CRI, viewing angle) and physical package dimensions, the electrical parameters differ significantly. The substitute requires a different power supply design and current limiting circuit. Direct substitution without circuit modification will result in component failure.

Q: What are the key compatibility criteria for substituting the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000AA6?

A: Substitute parts must maintain: warm white color at 3500K correlated color temperature, 120° viewing angle, 2-SMD gull wing exposed pad package with 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint, and color rendering index of 80 (typical). Electrical parameters (forward voltage and test current) may differ if the application circuit is redesigned accordingly.

Q: Why does the MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AA6 have different electrical specifications?

A: The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AA6 belongs to the XLamp® MX-3 series, while the main part is from the XLamp® MX-3S series. These are different LED architectures from CreeLED with different internal designs, resulting in different voltage and current characteristics while maintaining the same optical output and package form factor.

Q: Is the MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AA6 available for new designs?

A: Yes. The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AA6 carries active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturing and availability from CreeLED, Inc. This part is suitable for new design implementations where the electrical characteristics align with application requirements.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts share identical REACH status (REACH Unaffected) and ECCN classification (EAR99). The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AA6 is RoHS compliant, while RoHS status is not specified for the obsolete MX3SWT-A1-0000-000AA6. Both carry identical moisture sensitivity level (2A, 4 weeks) and thermal resistance (11°C/W).
