Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000CE4 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Color and CCT: Neutral white at 4500K (exact match required)
• Viewing Angle: 120° (optical characteristic)
• Package Type: 2-SMD, Gull Wing Exposed Pad (mechanical compatibility)
• Physical Dimensions: 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint and 1.48mm maximum height (PCB layout constraint)
• Thermal Resistance: 11°C/W (thermal management requirement)
• CRI: 75 (Typ) (color quality specification)
• Manufacturer: CreeLED, Inc. (supply chain consistency)

The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000DE4 qualifies as a substitute based on matching color, CCT, viewing angle, package configuration, physical dimensions, thermal resistance, and CRI. However, this substitute operates at significantly different electrical parameters (3.7V forward voltage and 350mA test current versus 10.7V and 115mA), requiring circuit design modifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000DE4 is available as an active product with RoHS compliance, addressing supply continuity for the obsolete MX3SWT-A1-0000-000CE4. Both components share identical optical, mechanical, and thermal characteristics.

Direct substitution requires circuit redesign due to electrical parameter differences. The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000DE4 operates at 3.7V forward voltage and 350mA test current, compared to 10.7V and 115mA for the original part. Power supply, current limiting, and thermal management circuits must be recalculated accordingly.

Both parts maintain REACH compliance and EAR99 export classification. The substitute part's active product status and RoHS compliance support long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX3AWT-A1-0000-000DE4 be used as a direct drop-in replacement?

A: No. While the MX3AWT-A1-0000-000DE4 matches the optical, mechanical, and thermal specifications of the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000CE4, the electrical parameters differ significantly. The substitute requires a lower forward voltage (3.7V vs. 10.7V) and higher test current (350mA vs. 115mA). Circuit modifications are necessary.

Q: What are the key matching parameters for substitution?

A: Color (White, Neutral 4500K), viewing angle (120°), package type (2-SMD Gull Wing Exposed Pad), physical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm), height (1.48mm max), thermal resistance (11°C/W), and CRI (75 Typ).

Q: Why is the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000CE4 classified as obsolete?

A: Product status is provided in the component data. The XLamp® MX-3S series has been superseded by the active XLamp® MX-3 series, represented by the MX3AWT-A1-0000-000DE4.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000DE4 is explicitly RoHS Compliant. RoHS status for the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000CE4 is not specified in the provided data. Both parts are REACH Unaffected and classified as EAR99.

Q: What is the impact of different current ratings on circuit design?

A: The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000DE4 operates at 350mA test current with a maximum rating of 500mA, compared to 115mA test current and 175mA maximum for the original part. Current limiting resistors, power supply capacity, and thermal dissipation calculations must be adjusted accordingly.

Q: Do both parts have identical package footprints?

A: Yes. Both the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000CE4 and MX3AWT-A1-0000-000DE4 use 2-SMD Gull Wing Exposed Pad packaging with 5.00mm x 5.00mm dimensions and 1.48mm maximum height, allowing PCB layout reuse.
