Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BB9 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Color matching: White LED output required Mounting compatibility: Surface mount, 2-SMD Gull Wing package Physical footprint: 5.00mm x 5.00mm base dimensions with 1.48mm maximum seated height Thermal characteristics: 5°C/W thermal resistance Viewing angle: 120° beam pattern Luminous flux: Approximately 97lm at test conditions Regulatory compliance: REACH Unaffected status

The identified substitute, MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BB3, shares identical physical dimensions, thermal properties, viewing angle, and luminous flux output. However, this substitute operates at significantly different electrical parameters (3.3V forward voltage, 300mA test current) and belongs to the XLamp® MX-6 series rather than MX-6S. Substitution is valid only when the application circuit can accommodate the different voltage and current requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BB3 is the identified substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BB9. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

Active product status: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BB3 maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BB9.

Identical physical and thermal properties: Both parts share the same 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint, 1.48mm maximum height, and 5°C/W thermal resistance, enabling direct PCB layout compatibility.

Matching luminous output: Both parts deliver 97lm at their respective test conditions, maintaining equivalent lighting performance.

Regulatory compliance: Both parts carry REACH Unaffected status, satisfying environmental compliance requirements.

Critical design consideration: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BB3 operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300mA test current, compared to the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BB9 at 20V and 60mA. Circuit redesign is required to accommodate these electrical differences. The substitute exhibits higher efficiency at 98 lm/W versus 81 lm/W, and supports higher maximum current at 1A versus 175mA.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BB3 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BB9?

A: Physical and thermal compatibility is confirmed. However, electrical redesign is mandatory. The substitute requires a 3.3V power supply and 300mA test current versus the original part's 20V and 60mA specifications. PCB layout remains compatible due to identical footprint and height.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are voltage (20V vs. 3.3V), test current (60mA vs. 300mA), and series designation (MX-6S vs. MX-6). Both deliver identical luminous flux and viewing angle. The substitute offers improved efficiency and higher maximum current rating.

Q: Is the package difference significant?

A: The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BB9 uses a standard 2-SMD Gull Wing package, while the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BB3 features a 2-SMD Gull Wing Exposed Pad variant. Both share identical external dimensions and mounting footprint. The exposed pad on the substitute provides enhanced thermal management capability.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory concerns with substitution?

A: Both parts carry REACH Unaffected status and identical moisture sensitivity levels (2A, 4 Weeks). No regulatory barriers exist for substitution from a compliance perspective.

Q: What is the availability status of each part?

A: The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BB9 is classified as obsolete with 1093 units in current inventory. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BB3 maintains active product status with 855 units available, ensuring ongoing procurement viability.
