Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-A1-0000-0009AA is based on the following criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• Color and CCT: White, Warm 2700K
• Flux output: 84lm (81lm – 87lm) at 25°C
• CRI: 80 (Typ)
• Viewing angle: 120°
• Package footprint: 5.00mm x 5.00mm
• Height: 1.48mm (Max)
• Thermal resistance: 5°C/W
• Mounting type: Surface Mount, 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration
• MSL rating: 2A (4 Weeks)

Allowable Variations:

• Forward voltage (Vf) and test current may differ due to different LED series architecture
• Lumens/Watt efficiency may vary
• Maximum current rating may differ
• Product status and packaging format may differ
• Compliance certifications may differ

The substitute part must maintain identical physical dimensions, thermal characteristics, optical output, and color specifications to ensure direct compatibility in existing designs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009AA is a direct substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-0009AA based on the following factors:

Optical Compatibility: Both parts deliver identical flux output (84lm at 25°C), color temperature (2700K), CRI (80 Typ), and viewing angle (120°), ensuring equivalent light output and color rendering in end applications.

Physical Compatibility: Both parts share identical footprint dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm), seated height (1.48mm), and thermal resistance (5°C/W), allowing direct PCB placement without layout modifications.

Product Status Advantage: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009AA is active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-0009AA.

Compliance Advantage: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009AA carries RoHS Compliant certification, meeting regulatory requirements for new designs and manufacturing environments.

Electrical Differences: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009AA operates at 3.3V with 300mA test current versus 20V at 60mA for the original part. Circuit design modifications are required to accommodate this voltage and current change. The substitute offers improved efficiency (85 lm/W versus 70 lm/W) and higher maximum current rating (1A versus 175mA).

Package Variant: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009AA features an exposed pad design and is supplied in Tape & Reel format, providing improved thermal management and production efficiency compared to the bulk packaging of the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009AA be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-0009AA?

A: Physical and optical compatibility is confirmed. However, the MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009AA requires circuit redesign due to different electrical specifications (3.3V/300mA versus 20V/60mA). Direct PCB placement is possible without layout changes, but power supply and current limiting circuits must be modified.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are forward voltage (20V versus 3.3V), test current (60mA versus 300mA), and product status (obsolete versus active). Optical output, color temperature, CRI, viewing angle, and physical dimensions are identical. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009AA offers higher efficiency and improved thermal management through its exposed pad design.

Q: Is the MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009AA RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, the MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009AA is RoHS Compliant. The original MX6SWT-A1-0000-0009AA RoHS status is not specified in available documentation.

Q: What is the significance of the exposed pad on the MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009AA?

A: The exposed pad improves thermal dissipation by providing direct thermal contact to the PCB, enhancing heat transfer away from the LED junction. This supports higher current operation and improved reliability in thermal-constrained applications.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging formats?

A: No. The MX6SWT-A1-0000-0009AA is supplied in bulk packaging, while the MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009AA is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for automated assembly processes.

Q: What is the MSL rating and why is it important?

A: Both parts carry MSL 2A (4 Weeks), indicating moisture sensitivity level 2 with a 4-week floor life after bag opening. Proper moisture control during storage and handling is required to prevent solder joint reliability issues.
