Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000AB5 is based on the following criteria derived from the provided parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Identical package type: 2-SMD, Gull Wing Exposed Pad
• Identical physical dimensions: 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint
• Identical maximum seated height: 1.48mm
• Identical thermal resistance: 11°C/W
• Surface mount mounting type

Optical Compatibility:

• White color output
• 120° viewing angle
• Comparable luminous flux output at test conditions

Electrical Compatibility:

• Forward voltage and current characteristics must be evaluated for circuit compatibility
• Maximum current ratings must be considered within design constraints

The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AB5 meets all mechanical and optical compatibility criteria. However, electrical parameters differ significantly: the substitute operates at 3.7V / 350mA test current versus the original 10.7V / 115mA, requiring circuit redesign for direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Mechanical Substitution: The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AB5 provides identical mechanical and thermal characteristics, enabling direct PCB footprint compatibility and thermal management equivalence.

For Electrical Circuit Compatibility: The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AB5 requires circuit redesign due to significantly different electrical parameters. The substitute operates at approximately one-third the forward voltage (3.7V vs. 10.7V) and three times the test current (350mA vs. 115mA). Existing drive circuits designed for the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000AB5 cannot be directly applied without modification.

For Production Continuity: The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AB5 holds Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain stability compared to the Obsolete MX3SWT-A1-0000-000AB5. The substitute carries RoHS Compliant certification, meeting current regulatory requirements.

For Compliance: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected and EAR99 ECCN classifications. The substitute's RoHS Compliant status provides additional regulatory alignment for new designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AB5 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000AB5?

A: Mechanically and thermally, yes. The parts share identical package geometry, footprint dimensions, and thermal resistance. However, electrical parameters differ substantially, requiring drive circuit modification for functional equivalence.

Q: What are the key electrical differences between these parts?

A: The MX3SWT-A1-0000-000AB5 operates at 10.7V forward voltage with 115mA test current. The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AB5 operates at 3.7V forward voltage with 350mA test current. Both deliver 91 lumens at their respective test conditions, but require different power supply and current regulation approaches.

Q: Are the optical characteristics equivalent?

A: Yes. Both parts produce White color output with 91 lumens at 25°C test conditions and share a 120° viewing angle, providing optical equivalence for lighting applications.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The MX3SWT-A1-0000-000AB5 packaging format is not specified in available data. The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AB5 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, standard for high-volume surface mount assembly.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences?

A: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification. The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AB5 carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000AB5 RoHS status is not specified. For new designs, the RoHS Compliant substitute aligns with current regulatory requirements.

Q: Why is the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000AB5 classified as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000AB5, classified as Active, represents the current generation equivalent from the same manufacturer series.
