Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AE8 is evaluated based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Color and correlated color temperature (CCT): Must match 2700K warm white specification
• Luminous flux output: Must fall within or near the 87–94 lm range at specified test conditions
• Color Rendering Index (CRI): Must maintain 80 (Typ) or equivalent
• Viewing angle: Must support 120° minimum

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• Package type: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration
• Physical dimensions: 5.00mm × 5.00mm footprint
• Height: 1.48mm maximum seated height
• Thermal resistance: 5°C/W

Supply Chain Criteria:

• Product status: Active or available inventory preferred due to obsolete status of main part

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AE8 qualifies as a substitute based on matching color temperature, luminous flux output, CRI, viewing angle, package footprint, and physical dimensions. However, significant electrical parameter differences exist and must be evaluated for circuit compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AE8 provides optical and mechanical compatibility with the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AE8 for applications where color temperature, luminous flux, CRI, and form factor are primary design constraints.

Key Considerations:

The substitute part operates at significantly lower forward voltage (3.3V vs. 20V) and higher test current (300mA vs. 60mA). Circuit redesign is required to accommodate these electrical differences. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AE8 is RoHS Compliant, whereas compliance status for the main part is not specified. The substitute part features an exposed pad configuration, which may provide improved thermal performance in applications requiring enhanced heat dissipation.

Both parts share identical physical dimensions, thermal resistance, and moisture sensitivity ratings, supporting direct mechanical substitution on PCB layouts. The substitute part's active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AE8 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AE8?

A: Mechanical and optical compatibility is confirmed. Electrical compatibility requires circuit redesign due to differences in forward voltage (20V vs. 3.3V) and test current (60mA vs. 300mA). PCB layout remains compatible due to identical footprint and height specifications.

Q: What are the primary differences between these two parts?

A: The main differences are forward voltage, test current, maximum current rating, and lumens-per-watt efficiency. Both parts deliver identical luminous flux (91 lm) at their respective test conditions and maintain the same color temperature (2700K), CRI (80), and viewing angle (120°).

Q: Does the exposed pad on the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AE8 affect PCB design?

A: The exposed pad configuration does not affect footprint compatibility. It provides an additional thermal path to the PCB, which may improve thermal performance in high-power applications. Standard PCB layout practices for 2-SMD gull wing components apply.

Q: Is the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AE8 suitable for applications currently using the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AE8?

A: Suitability depends on circuit design flexibility. Optical performance is equivalent. Electrical redesign is mandatory to accommodate the lower forward voltage and higher current requirements. RoHS compliance of the substitute part may be advantageous for regulated applications.

Q: What is the impact of the different test currents on brightness?

A: Both parts deliver 91 lumens at their respective test currents (60mA for MX6SWT, 300mA for MX6AWT). The substitute part achieves higher efficiency (92 lm/W vs. 76 lm/W) at its test condition. Luminous output at identical current levels will differ and must be verified against application requirements.
