Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA6 is identified as a substitute for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BA6 based on the following alignment criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• Color and CCT: Both are White, Warm 3500K
• Flux Output: Both deliver 97lm (94lm ~ 100lm) at 25°C
• CRI: Both maintain 80 (Typ)
• Viewing Angle: Both provide 120°
• Package Footprint: Both use 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration
• Physical Dimensions: Both measure 5.00mm x 5.00mm
• Height: Both have 1.48mm seated height (Max)
• Thermal Resistance: Both rated at 5°C/W
• MSL Rating: Both classified as 2A (4 Weeks)
• Manufacturer: Both from CreeLED, Inc.
• REACH Status: Both REACH Unaffected

Differing Parameters:

• Series: MX-6S (main part) vs. MX-6 (substitute)
• Forward Voltage: 20V (main part) vs. 3.3V (substitute)
• Test Current: 60mA (main part) vs. 300mA (substitute)
• Maximum Current: 175mA (main part) vs. 1A (substitute)
• Lumens/Watt: 81 lm/W (main part) vs. 98 lm/W (substitute)
• Package Detail: Standard Gull Wing (main part) vs. Gull Wing Exposed Pad (substitute)
• Product Status: Obsolete (main part) vs. Active (substitute)
• Packaging: Unspecified (main part) vs. Tape & Reel (substitute)
• RoHS Status: Not specified (main part) vs. RoHS Compliant (substitute)

Substitution is valid where identical color temperature, luminous flux, CRI, viewing angle, and physical package footprint are required. The primary distinction is the electrical operating point (voltage and current), which must be evaluated against circuit design requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA6 is available as an Active product from CreeLED, Inc., whereas the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BA6 is Obsolete. Both parts maintain identical photometric performance (97lm, 3500K, 80 CRI, 120° viewing angle) and physical package dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm, 1.48mm height).

Selection between these parts depends on circuit design compatibility. The MX6SWT operates at 20V/60mA, while the MX6AWT operates at 3.3V/300mA. The MX6AWT delivers superior efficiency (98 lm/W vs. 81 lm/W) and is RoHS Compliant. Both parts carry identical thermal resistance (5°C/W) and MSL ratings (2A, 4 Weeks).

For new designs or production requiring an active, compliant component with equivalent optical and thermal characteristics, the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA6 is the appropriate selection. Existing designs operating at 20V may require circuit modification to accommodate the 3.3V operating point of the substitute.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA6 directly replace the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BA6 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible only if the circuit design can accommodate the different electrical operating point. The MX6SWT operates at 20V/60mA, while the MX6AWT operates at 3.3V/300mA. Existing current-limiting resistors and voltage supplies must be re-evaluated. Photometric performance (luminous flux, color temperature, CRI, viewing angle) is identical.

Q: Are the physical package dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 5.00mm x 5.00mm with a maximum seated height of 1.48mm. The footprint is compatible for PCB layout purposes. The MX6AWT includes an exposed pad, which may provide improved thermal performance in applications requiring enhanced heat dissipation.

Q: What is the difference between the MX-6S and MX-6 series?

A: The MX-6S and MX-6 are distinct product lines within the XLamp family. The primary differences are the electrical operating parameters (voltage and current ratings) and product status. The MX-6S (MX6SWT) is Obsolete, while the MX-6 (MX6AWT) is Active. Optical and thermal characteristics remain aligned.

Q: Is the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA6 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA6 is RoHS Compliant. The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BA6 does not specify RoHS status in the provided data.

Q: What is the significance of the exposed pad on the MX6AWT?

A: The exposed pad on the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA6 provides a direct thermal path to the PCB, improving heat dissipation. Both parts maintain identical thermal resistance ratings (5°C/W), but the exposed pad design may offer practical advantages in high-current or thermally constrained applications.

Q: Are both parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA6 is specified as Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BA6 packaging is not specified in the provided data. Confirm packaging requirements with your supplier.
