• Luminous flux range: 87–94 lumens at 25°C
• Color rendering index: 80 (Typical)
• Viewing angle: 120°
• Thermal resistance: 5°C/W

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

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

Identified Substitutes:

1. MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AA9 – Functional substitute with different electrical operating point (3.3V, 300mA) but identical mechanical footprint, thermal characteristics, and luminous output specification.

2. MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AE8 – Parametric equivalent with identical electrical operating point (20V, 60mA) and mechanical specifications, differing only in correlated color temperature (2700K vs. 2850K).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AA9 (Active Status): This substitute is recommended for new designs requiring warm white LED output with identical mechanical footprint and thermal performance. The part is currently in active production status with RoHS compliance certification. The electrical operating point differs significantly (3.3V, 300mA vs. 20V, 60mA), requiring circuit redesign. The efficiency improvement (92 lm/W vs. 76 lm/W) and higher maximum current rating (1A vs. 175mA) provide additional design flexibility. Packaging includes an exposed pad variant, which may improve thermal management in high-power applications.

For MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AE8 (Obsolete Status): This substitute maintains identical electrical operating parameters (20V, 60mA) and mechanical specifications as the main part, requiring no circuit modification. The correlated color temperature difference (2700K vs. 2850K) represents a warmer color point within the warm white spectrum. Both parts share obsolete product status, making this option suitable only for legacy system maintenance or when existing inventory is available. No RoHS compliance status is specified for this part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AA9 be used as a direct replacement without circuit modification?

A: No. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AA9 operates at 3.3V with 300mA test current, compared to the main part's 20V at 60mA. Circuit redesign is required to accommodate the different electrical operating point. The mechanical footprint and thermal characteristics are identical, allowing PCB layout to remain unchanged.

Q: What is the difference between MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AF8 and MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AE8?

A: Both parts are from the XLamp® MX-6S series with identical electrical operating parameters (20V, 60mA) and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is correlated color temperature: MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AF8 is 2850K (neutral warm white), while MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AE8 is 2700K (warmer). Both are classified as obsolete.

Q: Are the package variants compatible with the same PCB footprint?

A: The main part and MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AE8 use standard 2-SMD gull wing packaging. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AA9 uses 2-SMD gull wing with exposed pad. All three parts share the same 5.00mm × 5.00mm footprint and 1.48mm maximum seated height, making them mechanically compatible with the same PCB layout.

Q: What is the significance of the exposed pad on MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AA9?

A: The exposed pad provides an additional thermal path to the PCB, improving heat dissipation in applications requiring sustained operation at higher current levels. This is particularly relevant given the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AA9's higher maximum current rating (1A vs. 175mA).

Q: Which substitute is recommended for new product development?

A: MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AA9 is the only substitute with active product status and RoHS compliance certification, making it the appropriate choice for new designs. Circuit redesign is necessary to accommodate its 3.3V operating voltage and 300mA test current.

Q: Are all three parts compliant with REACH regulations?

A: Yes. All three parts—MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AF8, MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AA9, and MX6SWT-A1-0000-000AE8—are listed as REACH Unaffected.
