MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AA7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AA7 is an XLamp® MX-6S warm white LED (3250K) in a 2-SMD, Gull Wing surface mount package. This part is classified as Obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement. The LED operates at 20V forward voltage with a 60mA test current, delivering 91 lumens at 25°C with a CRI of 80 (Typ). The 120° viewing angle and compact 5.00mm × 5.00mm footprint make it suitable for general illumination applications requiring warm white color temperature.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AA7 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Forward voltage (Vf), test current, maximum current rating, and luminous flux output must remain within acceptable operating ranges for the application circuit.

Optical Compatibility: Color temperature (CCT), Color Rendering Index (CRI), and viewing angle define the photometric performance and must match application requirements.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package type (2-SMD, Gull Wing), footprint dimensions (5.00mm × 5.00mm), and height (1.48mm max) ensure PCB layout compatibility and assembly feasibility.

Thermal Compatibility: Thermal resistance (5°C/W) and MSL rating (2A, 4 Weeks) must be maintained for reliable operation and handling.

Two substitute parts are identified:

1. MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AA7 – Different electrical operating point (3.3V, 300mA) with improved efficiency (92 lm/W vs. 76 lm/W) and higher maximum current (1A vs. 175mA). Same optical and mechanical specifications. Active product status.

2. MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AE8 – Identical electrical and thermal specifications to the main part. Differs only in color temperature (2700K vs. 3250K). Same series, package, and mechanical form factor. Obsolete product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AA7 Selection Criteria:

This substitute is suitable when circuit design can accommodate a low-voltage (3.3V) LED with higher current draw (300mA test, 1A maximum). The Active product status provides long-term availability and supply chain stability. The improved efficiency (92 lm/W vs. 76 lm/W) reduces thermal load. The exposed pad variant enhances thermal dissipation. Circuit redesign is required to match the 3.3V forward voltage and higher current requirements. RoHS Compliant status provides additional regulatory compliance.

MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AE8 Selection Criteria:

This substitute maintains identical electrical specifications (20V, 60mA test current, 175mA maximum) and thermal characteristics, requiring no circuit modification. Selection is appropriate when a warmer color temperature (2700K vs. 3250K) is acceptable or preferred. Both parts share Obsolete status, indicating limited future availability. This substitute is optimal for direct replacement in existing designs without electrical redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AA7 be used as a direct replacement for MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AA7?

A: No. The MX6AWT operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300mA test current, compared to 20V and 60mA for the main part. Circuit redesign is required to accommodate the different electrical operating point. Direct PCB substitution without circuit modification will result in component failure or malfunction.

Q: What is the primary difference between MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AE8 and the main part?

A: The color temperature differs: MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AE8 is 2700K (warmer) versus 3250K for MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AA7. All electrical, thermal, and mechanical parameters are identical. This substitute is suitable for direct replacement if the warmer color temperature meets application requirements.

Q: Why does MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AA7 have an exposed pad while the main part does not?

A: The exposed pad on the MX6AWT variant improves thermal dissipation, supporting the higher current operation (300mA vs. 60mA). This design change is necessary for thermal management at the higher operating current.

Q: Are all three parts compatible with the same PCB footprint?

A: The main part and MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AE8 share identical footprints (5.00mm × 5.00mm, 2-SMD Gull Wing). MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AA7 has the same footprint dimensions but includes an exposed pad, requiring PCB layout modification to utilize the thermal benefit.

Q: What is the impact of product status (Obsolete vs. Active) on part selection?

A: Active products (MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AA7) provide assured long-term availability and supply chain support. Obsolete products (main part and MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AE8) have limited remaining inventory and no future production, making them suitable only for existing design support or low-volume applications.

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AA7 be operated at 60mA instead of 300mA?

A: Operating parameters are determined by circuit design. The MX6AWT is rated for 300mA test current and 1A maximum current. Operation at lower currents is within specification but may not achieve rated luminous flux output. Consult the manufacturer datasheet for flux-current relationships at non-standard operating points.
