Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-0009B8 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Physical compatibility: Identical package type (2-SMD, Gull Wing), footprint dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm), and mounting height (1.48mm maximum)
• Optical characteristics: Matching color (white) and viewing angle (120°)
• Thermal properties: Equivalent thermal resistance (5°C/W)
• Environmental compliance: REACH status and moisture sensitivity level

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009B8 meets these physical and environmental criteria. However, this substitute operates under fundamentally different electrical parameters: 3.3V forward voltage and 300mA test current, compared to the original part's 20V and 60mA specifications. This electrical difference requires circuit-level evaluation and is not a direct pin-compatible replacement without design modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009B8 is an active product from the same manufacturer family, offering improved compliance status (RoHS Compliant) compared to the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-0009B8. Both components share identical physical dimensions, thermal characteristics, and luminous flux output at their respective test currents.

Selection of the MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009B8 requires circuit redesign due to the significant voltage and current differences (3.3V/300mA versus 20V/60mA). The substitute part's higher efficiency rating (85 lm/W versus 70 lm/W) may provide system-level benefits in applications where power consumption is a design constraint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009B8 be used as a direct replacement without circuit modification?

A: No. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009B8 operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300mA test current, while the MX6SWT-A1-0000-0009B8 requires 20V and 60mA. Direct substitution without driver circuit redesign will result in component failure or inadequate performance.

Q: Are the physical footprints identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both components use 2-SMD, Gull Wing packaging with 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprints and 1.48mm maximum seated height. PCB layout compatibility is maintained. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009B8 includes an exposed pad, which may provide improved thermal performance in applications requiring enhanced heat dissipation.

Q: What is the luminous flux equivalence between these parts?

A: Both parts deliver 84lm (81lm ~ 87lm) at their respective test currents and 25°C ambient temperature. Flux output is equivalent, but the MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009B8 achieves this with higher efficiency (85 lm/W versus 70 lm/W).

Q: Are there compliance differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009B8 is RoHS Compliant, while RoHS status is not specified for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-0009B8. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and identical moisture sensitivity levels (2A, 4 Weeks).

Q: What thermal considerations apply to these components?

A: Both parts have identical thermal resistance (5°C/W). The MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009B8 features an exposed pad design, which may enhance thermal coupling to the PCB in high-power applications.
