Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-A1-0000-0009E8 is based on the following electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Color and CCT: White, Warm 2700K
• CRI: 80 (Typ)
• Viewing Angle: 120°
• Package Type: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration
• Physical Dimensions: 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint
• Thermal Resistance: 5°C/W

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Forward Voltage (Vf): May differ based on die technology evolution within the same series
• Test Current and Flux Output: Variations acceptable if luminous intensity characteristics remain within application tolerance
• Lumens/Watt efficiency: May improve in newer generations
• Maximum Current Rating: May increase in successor designs
• Product Status: Active status preferred for ongoing availability

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009E8 qualifies as a substitute based on matching color temperature, CRI, viewing angle, package footprint, and thermal characteristics, despite differences in voltage and current specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Part Replacement:

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009E8 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-0009E8. Both components share identical color temperature (2700K), CRI (80), viewing angle (120°), and physical footprint (5.00mm x 5.00mm), ensuring mechanical and optical compatibility.

Key Differences Requiring Circuit Redesign:

The MX6AWT operates at 3.3V typical forward voltage with 300mA test current, compared to the MX6SWT's 20V and 60mA specifications. This represents a fundamental shift in LED die technology and requires complete power supply and current-limiting circuit redesign. The substitute delivers improved efficiency (85 lm/W vs. 70 lm/W) at its specified operating point.

Compliance Advantage:

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009E8 carries RoHS Compliant certification and Active product status, providing regulatory compliance and long-term supply chain assurance. The MX6SWT-A1-0000-0009E8 status as Obsolete indicates no further manufacturing or support.

Packaging Consideration:

The MX6AWT is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format with 45,100 pieces in current inventory, supporting high-volume production requirements. The MX6SWT packaging format is not specified, with only 885 pieces remaining in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009E8 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-0009E8?

A: No. While both LEDs share identical color temperature, CRI, viewing angle, and physical footprint, the MX6AWT operates at 3.3V/300mA versus the MX6SWT's 20V/60mA. Direct substitution requires redesign of the power supply and current-limiting circuitry. The mechanical footprint and thermal characteristics are compatible, but electrical circuit modifications are mandatory.

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

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: color temperature (2700K), CRI (80), viewing angle (120°), package type (2-SMD Gull Wing), physical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm), and thermal resistance (5°C/W). Forward voltage and operating current are application-specific parameters that may differ between substitute parts.

Q: Why does the MX6AWT have an exposed pad while the MX6SWT does not?

A: The exposed pad in the MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009E8 represents an evolution in thermal management design within the XLamp® MX series. This feature improves heat dissipation but does not affect optical or electrical compatibility for applications where thermal performance is adequate. PCB layout modifications may be required to utilize the exposed pad.

Q: Is the MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009E8 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009E8 is RoHS Compliant. The MX6SWT-A1-0000-0009E8 RoHS status is not specified in available documentation.

Q: What is the inventory status difference between these parts?

A: The MX6SWT-A1-0000-0009E8 has 885 pieces in stock with Obsolete status. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-0009E8 has 45,100 pieces in stock with Active status and is supplied in Tape & Reel format, supporting sustained production requirements.
