Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BB7 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility: Package type (2-SMD, Gull Wing), physical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm), and mounting type (Surface Mount) must remain consistent to ensure PCB layout compatibility.

Optical Characteristics: Color (White) and viewing angle (120°) define the optical performance envelope for the application.

Electrical Parameters: Forward voltage (Vf), test current, maximum current rating, and luminous flux output determine circuit design feasibility and performance equivalence.

Environmental & Compliance: Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 2A), REACH status, and product status affect supply chain viability and regulatory compliance.

The identified substitute part MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BB7 shares identical mechanical specifications and optical characteristics but operates at significantly different electrical parameters (3.3V Vf, 300mA test current), requiring circuit redesign for direct substitution.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BB7 as Substitute:

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BB7 maintains active product status with RoHS compliance, providing superior long-term supply chain availability compared to the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BB7. Both components share identical mechanical form factors, thermal characteristics, and luminous flux output at their respective test currents.

Direct substitution requires circuit redesign due to fundamental electrical parameter differences. The MX6AWT operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300mA test current, compared to the MX6SWT's 20V and 60mA specifications. This represents a different LED architecture within the XLamp® family and necessitates corresponding changes to power supply design, current limiting circuitry, and thermal management strategy.

The MX6AWT delivers superior luminous efficacy (98 lm/W versus 81 lm/W), offering improved energy efficiency at its specified operating point. Both components maintain identical viewing angle (120°), package dimensions, and moisture sensitivity classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BB7 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BB7?

A: No. While both components share identical mechanical dimensions and package type (2-SMD, Gull Wing, 5.00mm x 5.00mm), they operate at fundamentally different electrical parameters. The MX6SWT requires 20V forward voltage at 60mA test current, while the MX6AWT operates at 3.3V and 300mA. Circuit redesign is required for substitution.

Q: What are the key compatibility factors for substituting these LED components?

A: Mechanical compatibility includes package type, physical dimensions, and mounting method. Optical compatibility requires matching color and viewing angle. Electrical compatibility depends on forward voltage, test current, and maximum current ratings. Environmental factors include moisture sensitivity level and regulatory compliance status.

Q: Why is the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BB7 preferable despite requiring circuit changes?

A: The MX6AWT maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. The obsolete MX6SWT faces long-term sourcing challenges. Additionally, the MX6AWT provides superior luminous efficacy (98 lm/W) and includes RoHS compliance certification.

Q: Are there package differences between these two parts?

A: Both use 2-SMD, Gull Wing packages with identical 5.00mm x 5.00mm dimensions and 1.48mm maximum seated height. The MX6AWT includes an exposed pad variant, which may provide improved thermal performance in specific PCB layouts but does not affect mechanical compatibility.

Q: What thermal characteristics should be considered during substitution?

A: Both components maintain identical thermal resistance of 5°C/W and moisture sensitivity level of 2A (4 Weeks). Thermal management strategy may require adjustment due to the MX6AWT's higher test current (300mA versus 60mA), necessitating evaluation of PCB thermal design and heat dissipation requirements.
