Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000AA8 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Color and Correlated Color Temperature (CCT): Both the main part and substitute must maintain warm white 3000K specification to ensure consistent color output in lighting applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package type (2-SMD, Gull Wing Exposed Pad), physical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm), and height (1.48mm max) must match to ensure PCB assembly compatibility without design modifications.

Optical Performance: Viewing angle (120°) and luminous flux characteristics must align to maintain consistent light distribution in the target application.

Electrical Parameters: Forward voltage, test current, and maximum current ratings must be evaluated within the context of the application's power supply and thermal management design.

The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AA8 qualifies as a substitute based on matching color temperature, package geometry, and optical specifications, despite differences in electrical operating parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AA8 is available as an active product from CreeLED, Inc., providing supply continuity for the obsolete MX3SWT-A1-0000-000AA8. Both components share identical color temperature (3000K), CRI (80 Typ), viewing angle (120°), package geometry, and thermal characteristics.

The primary design consideration is the significant difference in electrical operating parameters. The MX3AWT operates at 3.7V forward voltage with 350mA test current, compared to the MX3SWT's 10.7V and 115mA. This difference requires circuit redesign to accommodate the lower voltage and higher current requirements of the substitute part.

The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AA8 carries RoHS Compliance certification, providing regulatory advantage over the main part specification. Both components maintain REACH Unaffected status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AA8 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000AA8?

A: No. While both components share identical package geometry, dimensions, and optical specifications, the electrical operating parameters differ significantly. The MX3AWT requires a different power supply design (3.7V vs. 10.7V) and operates at substantially higher current (350mA vs. 115mA). Circuit redesign is necessary.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000AA8 and MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AA8 share identical package specifications: 2-SMD Gull Wing Exposed Pad, 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint, and 1.48mm maximum seated height. PCB layout compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the difference in luminous output between these parts?

A: Both components deliver 91lm (87lm ~ 94lm) at their respective test currents. The MX3SWT achieves 74 lm/W efficiency at 115mA, while the MX3AWT achieves 70 lm/W at 350mA. Total luminous output is equivalent.

Q: Is the MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AA8 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AA8 is RoHS Compliant. The main part specification does not indicate RoHS status.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both parts?

A: Both components are rated MSL 2A (4 Weeks), indicating identical moisture handling and storage requirements.
