Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AE7 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Package type: 2-SMD, Gull Wing
• Physical dimensions: 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm
• Height (seated): 1.48 mm maximum
• Mounting type: Surface Mount

Optical Compatibility:

• Color: White, Warm
• CCT: 3000K (primary criterion)
• Viewing angle: 120°
• CRI: 80 (typical)

Electrical Compatibility:

• Forward voltage: 20V (typical)
• Test current: 60 mA
• Maximum current: 175 mA
• Flux output: 91 lm (87–94 lm range) @ 25°C

Two substitute parts are identified:

1. MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AE7 – Different electrical characteristics (3.3V, 300mA) and series (XLamp® MX-6 vs. MX-6S). Requires circuit redesign.

2. MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AE8 – Parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Only difference is CCT (2700K vs. 3000K).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AE8 (Preferred Parametric Equivalent): This part maintains identical electrical specifications (20V, 60mA test current, 175mA maximum) and mechanical compatibility with the main part. The only difference is the CCT rating (2700K vs. 3000K). Selection of this substitute is appropriate when warm white color temperature variation of 300K is acceptable within the application's optical requirements. Both parts share obsolete product status and identical compliance certifications (REACH Unaffected).

MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AE7 (Active Alternative with Design Modification Required): This part is currently active in production, providing long-term availability. However, it requires circuit redesign due to significantly different electrical characteristics: 3.3V forward voltage (vs. 20V) and 300mA test current (vs. 60mA). The XLamp® MX-6 series differs from the MX-6S series. This substitute is suitable only when the application can accommodate a complete power supply and current-limiting circuit redesign. The part achieves higher efficiency (92 lm/W vs. 76 lm/W) and includes RoHS compliance certification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AE7 be used as a direct drop-in replacement?

A: No. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AE7 operates at 3.3V with 300mA test current, compared to the main part's 20V and 60mA specifications. Direct substitution would result in incorrect LED operation and potential circuit damage. Circuit redesign is required, including modifications to the power supply and current-limiting components.

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

A: The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AE8 is electrically and mechanically identical to MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AE7. The only difference is the correlated color temperature (CCT): 2700K versus 3000K. Both operate at 20V, 60mA test current, and deliver 91 lumens at 25°C. This part is suitable for applications where a slightly warmer color temperature is acceptable.

Q: Are there package differences between these parts?

A: The main part and MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AE8 use standard 2-SMD, Gull Wing packaging. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AE7 uses 2-SMD, Gull Wing with an exposed pad, which provides improved thermal performance but requires different PCB layout considerations.

Q: What is the impact of the obsolete product status?

A: Both the main part (MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AE7) and the parametric equivalent (MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AE8) are classified as obsolete. This means CreeLED no longer manufactures these parts. Existing inventory may be available through authorized distributors, but long-term availability is not guaranteed. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AE7 is active and represents the only substitute with ongoing production support.

Q: Are all three parts REACH compliant?

A: All three parts are listed as REACH Unaffected, indicating they do not contain substances of very high concern (SVHC) as defined by REACH regulations. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AE7 additionally carries RoHS compliance certification.

Q: What are the thermal considerations when selecting a substitute?

A: All three parts have identical thermal resistance (5°C/W). The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AE7 includes an exposed pad that may provide marginal thermal improvement in specific PCB layouts, but the specified thermal resistance remains unchanged.
