Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000E53 is an active product from CreeLED, Inc., providing continuity for applications requiring the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000E53. Both parts share identical optical output (118 lumens at 6000K), viewing angle (120°), physical footprint (5.00mm x 5.00mm), and package configuration (2-SMD, Gull Wing Exposed Pad).

The primary design consideration is the forward voltage and current characteristics. The MX6AWT operates at 3.3V with 300mA test current, compared to the MX3SWT's 10.7V at 115mA. Circuit designs must be adapted to accommodate this voltage and current difference. The MX6AWT provides superior thermal performance (5°C/W versus 11°C/W) and higher luminous efficacy (119 lm/W versus 96 lm/W).

Both parts maintain identical moisture sensitivity (2A, 4 Weeks) and color rendering index (75 Typ), ensuring compatibility in environmental handling and color consistency requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000E53 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX3SWT-A1-0000-000E53?

A: No. While both parts share identical optical output, viewing angle, physical dimensions, and package configuration, the forward voltage and current specifications differ significantly. The MX3SWT operates at 10.7V/115mA, while the MX6AWT operates at 3.3V/300mA. Circuit redesign is required to accommodate these electrical differences.

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

A: Substitution is based on matching color (White, Cool 6000K), luminous flux (118lm), viewing angle (120°), mounting type (Surface Mount), package configuration (2-SMD, Gull Wing Exposed Pad), physical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm), and moisture sensitivity level (2A, 4 Weeks).

Q: Why does the MX6AWT have a lower thermal resistance than the MX3SWT?

A: The MX6AWT has a thermal resistance of 5°C/W compared to the MX3SWT's 11°C/W. This parameter is provided in the specifications and reflects the thermal characteristics of each device package.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000E53 is specified as RoHS Compliant. The MX3SWT-A1-0000-000E53 does not have RoHS status provided in the available specifications.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The MX3SWT-A1-0000-000E53 is supplied in standard packaging. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000E53 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is typical for high-volume production environments.

Q: Can I use the MX6AWT in a circuit designed for the MX3SWT without modification?

A: No. The significant differences in forward voltage (10.7V versus 3.3V) and test current (115mA versus 300mA) require circuit redesign. Direct substitution without circuit modification will result in improper LED operation or failure.
