Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA5 qualifies as a substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Color and CCT: Both White, Warm 3750K
• CRI: Both 80 (Typ)
• Viewing Angle: Both 120°
• Package Type: Both 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration
• Physical Dimensions: Both 5.00mm x 5.00mm
• Height - Seated (Max): Both 1.48mm
• Thermal Resistance: Both 5°C/W
• Flux @ 25°C: Both 97lm (94lm ~ 100lm)

Differing Parameters:

• Voltage - Forward (Vf): MX6SWT operates at 20V; MX6AWT operates at 3.3V
• Current - Test: MX6SWT at 60mA; MX6AWT at 300mA
• Current - Max: MX6SWT at 175mA; MX6AWT at 1A
• Lumens/Watt: MX6SWT at 81 lm/W; MX6AWT at 98 lm/W
• Product Status: MX6SWT is Obsolete; MX6AWT is Active
• Packaging: MX6SWT is loose; MX6AWT is Tape & Reel (TR)

Substitution is valid for applications where the forward voltage and current requirements can be accommodated by the 3.3V / 300mA operating point of the MX6AWT series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA5 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BA5. Selection of the MX6AWT is supported by:

• Active product status ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• RoHS Compliance certification on the MX6AWT, providing regulatory alignment for new designs
• Identical photometric output (97lm) and color characteristics (3750K, CRI 80)
• Matching mechanical form factor and thermal properties
• Improved efficiency (98 lm/W vs. 81 lm/W)

Circuit design modifications are required to accommodate the voltage and current differences. The MX6AWT operates at 3.3V with 300mA test current, requiring redesign of the LED driver and current-limiting circuitry compared to the 20V / 60mA specification of the MX6SWT.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA5 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BA5?

A: No. While both parts share identical color temperature (3750K), CRI (80), viewing angle (120°), and physical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm), the forward voltage and operating current differ significantly. The MX6SWT operates at 20V / 60mA, while the MX6AWT operates at 3.3V / 300mA. Circuit redesign is necessary to accommodate these electrical differences.

Q: Are the package configurations compatible?

A: Both parts use 2-SMD, Gull Wing surface mount packages with identical footprints (5.00mm x 5.00mm, 1.48mm height). The MX6AWT includes an exposed pad, which may provide improved thermal performance in applications requiring enhanced heat dissipation. PCB layout compatibility is maintained.

Q: What are the compliance and regulatory differences?

A: Both parts carry REACH Unaffected and EAR99 ECCN classifications. The MX6AWT includes RoHS Compliance certification, while the MX6SWT status is not specified. Both maintain identical MSL 2A (4 Weeks) moisture sensitivity levels.

Q: Why is the MX6SWT classified as Obsolete?

A: The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BA5 is an older generation XLamp® MX-6S product. The MX6AWT represents the current active generation (XLamp® MX-6) with improved efficiency and active manufacturer support.

Q: How do the photometric outputs compare?

A: Both parts deliver 97lm at 25°C under their respective test conditions. The MX6AWT achieves higher efficiency at 98 lm/W compared to 81 lm/W for the MX6SWT, despite operating at lower voltage and higher current.
