Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete MX3SWT-A1-0000-000BDZ is determined by the following criteria:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Color and CCT: White, Cool 5000K (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: 2-SMD, Gull Wing Exposed Pad
• Size / Dimension: 5.00mm x 5.00mm
• Height - Seated (Max): 1.48mm
• Viewing Angle: 120°

Electrical Characteristics: The MX3SWT-A1-0000-000BDZ operates at 10.7V forward voltage with 115mA test current. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility with the original circuit design parameters, including forward voltage, current ratings, and thermal characteristics.

Identified Substitute: The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000CE3 shares identical mechanical and optical specifications (package, size, height, viewing angle, color, and CCT). However, this substitute operates at significantly different electrical parameters: 3.7V forward voltage and 350mA test current. This electrical difference requires circuit redesign and is not a direct pin-compatible replacement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000CE3 is the identified active substitute for the obsolete MX3SWT-A1-0000-000BDZ. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications, optical characteristics (color, CCT, viewing angle), and thermal properties, enabling direct physical replacement on PCBs.

However, the electrical parameters differ substantially: the substitute operates at 3.7V forward voltage versus 10.7V, and requires 350mA test current versus 115mA. These differences necessitate circuit redesign, including modifications to current-limiting resistors and power supply specifications.

The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000CE3 is currently in active production status with RoHS compliance certification, providing long-term supply assurance. Both parts maintain identical moisture sensitivity levels and REACH compliance status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX3AWT-A1-0000-000CE3 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000BDZ?

A: No. While both parts share identical mechanical and optical specifications (package, size, height, viewing angle, color, and CCT), the electrical parameters differ significantly. The substitute requires 3.7V forward voltage and 350mA test current compared to the original 10.7V and 115mA. Circuit redesign is required.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution is determined by: color and CCT (5000K cool white), mounting type (surface mount), package configuration (2-SMD, Gull Wing Exposed Pad), physical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm), maximum height (1.48mm), and viewing angle (120°). Electrical parameters (forward voltage and current) must be evaluated separately for circuit compatibility.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part (MX3SWT-A1-0000-000BDZ) is specified with packaging notation "-", while the substitute (MX3AWT-A1-0000-000CE3) is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both use identical 2-SMD, Gull Wing Exposed Pad package configuration.

Q: What is the product status difference, and why does it matter?

A: The MX3SWT-A1-0000-000BDZ is obsolete, meaning it is no longer manufactured. The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000CE3 is active production, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain stability for new designs or production runs.

Q: Do both parts have the same thermal characteristics?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical thermal resistance of 11°C/W and moisture sensitivity level of 2A (4 Weeks), ensuring equivalent thermal management and handling requirements.
