Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BE6 is based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Color and correlated color temperature (CCT): Both parts must be White, Warm 3500K
• Viewing angle: 120° maintained across both parts
• Thermal resistance: 5°C/W identical specification
• Moisture sensitivity level: 2A (4 Weeks) matching requirement

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• Mounting type: Surface Mount required
• Package type: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration
• Physical dimensions: 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint
• Height seated maximum: 1.48mm

Functional Equivalence: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BE6 qualifies as a substitute based on matching color specification (White, Warm 3500K), identical flux output (97lm at 25°C), matching viewing angle (120°), and identical physical package dimensions and thermal characteristics. The primary difference is the forward voltage (3.3V vs. 20V) and test current (300mA vs. 60mA), which requires circuit redesign but does not prevent functional substitution in applications where the LED output characteristics are the primary requirement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BE6 is classified as obsolete. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BE6 is active and available, with 768 pieces in stock, making it the appropriate selection for new designs and production continuity.

Compliance and Certification: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BE6 carries RoHS Compliant certification, whereas the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BE6 does not specify RoHS status. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Circuit Design Impact: Substitution requires modification of the LED drive circuit. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BE6 operates at 3.3V with 300mA test current, compared to the original 20V at 60mA. This represents a significant change in power supply requirements and current limiting design. The substitute part delivers identical luminous flux (97lm) and color rendering index (80 Typ), maintaining optical performance while requiring electrical redesign.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute part features an exposed pad in the 2-SMD Gull Wing package, which may improve thermal performance in applications requiring enhanced heat dissipation compared to the standard gull wing configuration of the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BE6 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BE6?

A: No. While both parts share identical physical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm), viewing angle (120°), and luminous output (97lm at 25°C), the forward voltage differs significantly (3.3V vs. 20V). The drive circuit must be redesigned to accommodate the lower voltage and higher test current (300mA vs. 60mA) of the substitute part.

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

A: Substitution is determined by: color and CCT matching (White, Warm 3500K), identical luminous flux output (97lm), matching viewing angle (120°), identical physical footprint (5.00mm x 5.00mm), matching thermal resistance (5°C/W), and compatible moisture sensitivity level (2A, 4 Weeks). Electrical parameters (voltage and current) are secondary to these optical and mechanical criteria.

Q: Why is the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BE6 preferred over the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BE6?

A: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BE6 is active and available in production quantities (768 pieces in stock). It carries RoHS Compliant certification and offers improved efficiency (98 lm/W vs. 81 lm/W). The obsolete status of the original part makes the active substitute the only viable option for ongoing production.

Q: Are there any package differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BE6 uses a standard 2-SMD Gull Wing package, while the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BE6 features a 2-SMD Gull Wing Exposed Pad configuration. The exposed pad in the substitute part provides improved thermal management, which may be beneficial in high-power applications.

Q: What is the impact of the voltage difference on system design?

A: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BE6 operates at 3.3V compared to the original 20V. This requires a different power supply architecture and current limiting circuit. The substitute part's maximum current rating is 1A versus 175mA for the original, allowing for higher brightness operation if the circuit is designed accordingly.
