Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BB3 is based on the following allowable parameters:

• Color: White (maintained across all substitutes)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (maintained)
• Package / Case: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration (maintained)
• Physical Dimensions: 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm footprint and 1.48 mm maximum seated height (maintained)
• Thermal Resistance: 5°C/W (maintained)
• Viewing Angle: 120° (maintained)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 2A (4 Weeks) (maintained)

The identified substitute part operates within the same XLamp® MX series family and shares identical mechanical and thermal characteristics. Electrical parameters (forward voltage, test current, and luminous flux) differ between the main part and substitute, reflecting different product generations within the series.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BB3 is the identified substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BB3. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

• Product Status: The substitute is classified as Active, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete main part.
• Compliance: The substitute carries RoHS Compliant certification, meeting current regulatory requirements. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status.
• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical footprint (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm), mounting type (Surface Mount), and thermal characteristics (5°C/W) ensure direct PCB-level compatibility.
• Optical Performance: Both parts deliver 97 lm at their respective test currents with identical 120° viewing angle, maintaining equivalent luminous output for the application.

Circuit-level integration requires evaluation of the electrical parameter differences: forward voltage (20V vs. 3.3V) and test current (60 mA vs. 300 mA). These differences necessitate driver circuit redesign to accommodate the lower voltage and higher current requirements of the substitute part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BB3 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BB3?

A: The parts share identical mechanical and thermal characteristics, allowing direct PCB-level substitution. However, the forward voltage and current requirements differ significantly (20V/60mA vs. 3.3V/300mA), requiring driver circuit modification. Direct substitution without circuit redesign will result in component failure or non-operation.

Q: What are the key mechanical compatibility factors?

A: Both parts feature identical 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm footprints, 1.48 mm maximum seated height, 2-SMD Gull Wing surface mount packaging, and 5°C/W thermal resistance. These parameters ensure mechanical and thermal interchangeability at the PCB assembly level.

Q: Why does the substitute part have a lower forward voltage?

A: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BB3 represents a newer generation within the XLamp® MX series, incorporating improved semiconductor design that reduces forward voltage from 20V to 3.3V while maintaining equivalent luminous output. This reflects advancement in LED technology across the product family.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The substitute part carries RoHS Compliant certification, whereas the main part does not specify RoHS status. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the substitute part is the appropriate selection.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute part?

A: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BB3 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes. The main part packaging format is not specified in the available data.
