Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA8 qualifies as a substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Color and CCT: Both White, Warm 3000K
• Flux output: Both 97 lm (94–100 lm range) at 25°C
• CRI: Both 80 (Typ)
• Viewing angle: Both 120°
• Mounting type: Both Surface Mount
• Package footprint: Both 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration
• Physical dimensions: Both 5.00mm × 5.00mm
• Height: Both 1.48mm maximum seated height
• Thermal resistance: Both 5°C/W
• MSL rating: Both 2A (4 Weeks)
• REACH compliance: Both REACH Unaffected

Differing Parameters:

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• Product Status: MX6SWT is Obsolete; MX6AWT is Active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

Substitution is valid when circuit design accommodates the lower forward voltage (3.3V vs. 20V) and higher test current (300mA vs. 60mA) of the MX6AWT variant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA8 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BA8. Both components share identical optical output (97 lm at 3000K, 80 CRI), mechanical footprint (5.00mm × 5.00mm, 1.48mm height), and thermal characteristics (5°C/W).

The primary design consideration is electrical compatibility. The MX6AWT operates at 3.3V forward voltage with a 300mA test current, compared to the MX6SWT's 20V and 60mA specification. Circuit designs must be adapted to accommodate this voltage and current differential. The MX6AWT's higher efficiency (98 lm/W vs. 81 lm/W) and RoHS compliance status provide additional advantages for new designs.

Both components maintain identical moisture sensitivity (2A, 4 Weeks) and REACH compliance, ensuring equivalent handling and regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA8 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BA8?

A: Physical and optical compatibility is confirmed. The components share identical footprint, height, color temperature, flux output, and viewing angle. However, electrical circuit redesign is required due to the MX6AWT's lower forward voltage (3.3V vs. 20V) and higher test current (300mA vs. 60mA). Direct PCB substitution without circuit modification will result in component failure.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is based on matching color (White, Warm 3000K), flux output (97 lm), CRI (80), viewing angle (120°), mounting type (Surface Mount), package footprint (5.00mm × 5.00mm), and thermal characteristics (5°C/W). Voltage and current specifications are design-dependent and must be evaluated separately.

Q: Does the MX6AWT have an exposed pad?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA8 features a 2-SMD, Gull Wing package with an exposed pad, compared to the standard 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration of the MX6SWT. This exposed pad provides improved thermal management and may require PCB layout modifications.

Q: What is the difference in efficiency between these two parts?

A: The MX6AWT delivers 98 lm/W at its 300mA test current, while the MX6SWT delivers 81 lm/W at its 60mA test current. This represents a 17 lm/W efficiency advantage for the MX6AWT under its specified operating conditions.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences?

A: The MX6AWT is RoHS Compliant, while RoHS status is not specified for the MX6SWT. Both components are REACH Unaffected and maintain identical MSL ratings (2A, 4 Weeks). For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the MX6AWT is the appropriate selection.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The MX6SWT is available in standard packaging. The MX6AWT is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for high-volume production environments.
