Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000C53 is determined by the following criteria:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Color and CCT: White, Cool 6000K
• Viewing Angle: 120°
• Package Type: 2-SMD, Gull Wing Exposed Pad
• Physical Dimensions: 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm footprint
• Thermal Resistance: 11°C/W
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount

Electrical Performance Considerations:

• Forward Voltage (Vf)
• Luminous Flux output
• Test Current and Maximum Current ratings
• Lumens/Watt efficiency
• CRI rating

The identified substitute part MX3AWT-A1-0000-000E50 shares the same package geometry, color specification, CCT, viewing angle, and thermal characteristics. However, it operates at significantly different electrical parameters (3.7V vs. 10.7V forward voltage, 350mA vs. 115mA test current), requiring circuit redesign for direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000E50 is the identified substitute for the obsolete MX3SWT-A1-0000-000C53 based on matching package geometry, color specification, CCT, viewing angle, and thermal characteristics. The substitute part is currently in active production status with RoHS compliance certification, providing supply chain continuity.

Direct pin-for-pin substitution is not possible due to fundamental differences in forward voltage (10.7V vs. 3.7V) and operating current (115mA vs. 350mA). Applications utilizing the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000C53 require circuit redesign to accommodate the MX3AWT-A1-0000-000E50, including modifications to current-limiting resistors and power supply voltage specifications.

Both parts maintain identical CRI (75 Typ), viewing angle (120°), package footprint (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm), and thermal resistance (11°C/W), ensuring optical and thermal performance compatibility at the system level following appropriate electrical circuit modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX3AWT-A1-0000-000E50 be used as a direct replacement without circuit modification?

A: No. The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000E50 operates at 3.7V forward voltage compared to 10.7V for the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000C53. Direct substitution requires redesign of the LED driver circuit, including current-limiting resistor values and power supply voltage specifications.

Q: Are the physical packages identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use a 2-SMD, Gull Wing Exposed Pad package with identical footprint dimensions (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm) and seated height (1.48 mm maximum). PCB layout compatibility is maintained.

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

A: The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000E50 produces 118 lumens at its test current (350mA) compared to 104 lumens for the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000C53 at 115mA. The substitute part delivers approximately 13% higher absolute flux output.

Q: Do both parts have the same color temperature?

A: Yes. Both parts are specified as White, Cool 6000K with identical CRI ratings of 75 (Typ), ensuring consistent color appearance and rendering characteristics.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The MX3SWT-A1-0000-000C53 is classified as obsolete, indicating end-of-life status and limited availability. The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000E50 is in active production, providing reliable long-term supply chain availability and ongoing manufacturer support.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000E50 carries RoHS Compliant certification. Both parts are REACH Unaffected and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. Moisture sensitivity level is identical at 2A (4 Weeks) for both components.
