Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000CF4 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Color and CCT Match: Neutral white at 4750K
• Package Compatibility: 2-SMD, Gull Wing Exposed Pad with identical 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint and 1.48mm maximum height
• Thermal Characteristics: 11°C/W thermal resistance
• Optical Performance: 120° viewing angle and CRI of 75 (Typ)
• Mounting Type: Surface mount configuration

The substitute part MX3AWT-A1-0000-000DF4 shares the same color temperature, package footprint, thermal resistance, viewing angle, and CRI specification. However, this substitute operates at significantly different electrical parameters (3.7V forward voltage and 350mA test current versus 10.7V and 115mA), requiring circuit redesign and is therefore not a direct pin-compatible replacement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000DF4 is the documented substitute for the obsolete MX3SWT-A1-0000-000CF4. Both components are manufactured by CreeLED, Inc. and share identical optical and thermal characteristics (4750K color temperature, 120° viewing angle, 75 CRI, 11°C/W thermal resistance, and 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint).

The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000DF4 carries Active product status and RoHS Compliant certification, providing supply chain continuity and regulatory compliance advantages over the obsolete MX3SWT-A1-0000-000CF4.

Critical consideration: The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000DF4 operates at 3.7V forward voltage and 350mA test current, compared to 10.7V and 115mA for the original part. This electrical difference necessitates circuit redesign and cannot be accommodated through simple component substitution in existing designs without driver circuit modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX3AWT-A1-0000-000DF4 be used as a direct replacement in existing PCB designs?

A: No. While the MX3AWT-A1-0000-000DF4 shares the same physical footprint (5.00mm x 5.00mm), package type (2-SMD Gull Wing Exposed Pad), and optical characteristics (4750K, 120°, CRI 75), the electrical parameters differ significantly. The substitute operates at 3.7V forward voltage and 350mA test current versus 10.7V and 115mA for the original part. Driver circuit redesign is required.

Q: Are the thermal characteristics identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000CF4 and MX3AWT-A1-0000-000DF4 have a thermal resistance of 11°C/W and identical physical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm, 1.48mm maximum height).

Q: What is the optical performance difference?

A: The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000DF4 produces 111 lumens (107lm ~ 114lm) at its test current of 350mA, compared to 104 lumens (100lm ~ 107lm) at 115mA for the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000CF4. Both achieve approximately 85-86 lumens per watt efficiency.

Q: Does the MX3AWT-A1-0000-000DF4 offer compliance advantages?

A: Yes. The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000DF4 is RoHS Compliant and carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and regulatory alignment. The original MX3SWT-A1-0000-000CF4 is classified as Obsolete.

Q: Are there any packaging differences?

A: No. Both parts use identical 2-SMD Gull Wing Exposed Pad packaging with 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint and 1.48mm maximum seated height. The MX3AWT-A1-0000-000DF4 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format.
