Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AB8 is determined by the following electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria:

Electrical Parameters:

• Color: White (must match)
• Viewing Angle: 120° (must match)
• Flux output range: 87–94 lm @ 25°C (acceptable range)
• Lumens/Watt efficiency: comparable performance

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (must match)
• Package / Case: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration (must match)
• Size / Dimension: 5.00mm × 5.00mm (must match)
• Height - Seated (Max): 1.48mm (must match)
• Thermal Resistance: 5°C/W (must match)

Environmental & Compliance:

• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 2A (4 Weeks) (must match)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (must match)

The substitute part MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AB8 shares identical mechanical dimensions, thermal characteristics, and environmental compliance ratings. However, this substitute operates at significantly different electrical parameters (3.3V forward voltage, 300mA test current) and belongs to the XLamp® MX-6 series rather than MX-6S. Substitution is valid only when the application circuit can accommodate the different voltage and current requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AB8 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AB8 based on CreeLED's product line documentation. Both components share identical mechanical form factors, thermal characteristics, and environmental compliance ratings, enabling direct physical replacement on PCB assemblies.

The substitute part carries Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AB8 is RoHS Compliant, providing enhanced environmental compliance compared to the main part specification.

Critical consideration: The substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300mA test current, compared to the main part's 20V and 60mA specifications. Circuit redesign is required to accommodate these electrical differences. The substitute delivers superior efficiency at 92 lm/W versus 76 lm/W, and supports higher maximum current (1A versus 175mA).

Selection of the substitute component is appropriate for new designs and production transitions where circuit topology can be modified to support the lower voltage and higher current requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AB8 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AB8?

A: Physical and thermal compatibility is confirmed. Both components use identical 2-SMD gull wing packages with 5.00mm × 5.00mm dimensions and 1.48mm maximum seated height. However, electrical compatibility requires circuit modification. The substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage and 300mA test current, whereas the main part requires 20V and 60mA. Direct substitution without circuit redesign will result in component failure or malfunction.

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

A: The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AB8 operates at 20V forward voltage with 60mA test current and 175mA maximum current. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AB8 operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300mA test current and 1A maximum current. Both deliver 91 lumens at 25°C with 120° viewing angle. The substitute provides higher efficiency at 92 lm/W compared to 76 lm/W.

Q: Are the package configurations identical?

A: Both components use 2-SMD gull wing surface mount packages with matching 5.00mm × 5.00mm dimensions and 1.48mm maximum height. The substitute features an exposed pad variant, which may provide improved thermal performance in high-power applications. Thermal resistance remains 5°C/W for both parts.

Q: What is the product status difference, and why does it matter?

A: The main part MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AB8 is classified as Obsolete, indicating discontinued production and limited availability. The substitute MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AB8 carries Active status, ensuring ongoing manufacturing and supply chain availability. For production applications requiring long-term component sourcing, the Active substitute is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are there compliance or environmental differences?

A: Both components maintain REACH Unaffected status and 2A Moisture Sensitivity Level (4 Weeks). The substitute is RoHS Compliant, whereas the main part specification does not indicate RoHS compliance. For applications requiring RoHS certification, the substitute provides enhanced environmental compliance.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute?

A: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AB8 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, suitable for automated assembly processes. The main part packaging format is not specified in the available documentation.
