Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MX6AWT-A1-R250-000BE8 qualifies as a substitute based on the following matching parameters:

• Color temperature: 2700K warm white (identical)
• Flux output: 97lm at test current (identical specification range)
• Viewing angle: 120° (identical)
• Physical footprint: 5.00mm x 5.00mm (identical)
• Thermal resistance: 5°C/W (identical)
• Mounting type: Surface mount, 2-SMD Gull Wing (compatible package family)
• CRI: 80 (Typ) (identical)
• Moisture sensitivity: 2A (4 Weeks) (identical)

The primary electrical differences are forward voltage (3.3V vs. 20V) and test current (300mA vs. 60mA), which require circuit design adjustment but do not prevent functional substitution in applications where voltage regulation is available.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-R250-000BE8 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BE8. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

• Active product status ensuring continued availability and supply chain support
• RoHS compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements
• Identical optical performance (2700K color temperature, 97lm flux, 120° viewing angle, 80 CRI)
• Identical physical footprint and thermal characteristics enabling direct PCB layout compatibility
• Tape & Reel packaging suitable for automated assembly processes

Circuit design modification is required to accommodate the lower forward voltage (3.3V vs. 20V) and higher test current (300mA vs. 60mA). The substitute demonstrates superior efficiency (98 lm/W vs. 81 lm/W), reducing thermal load in the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-R250-000BE8 be used as a direct drop-in replacement?

A: Physical and optical compatibility is direct. Electrical circuit redesign is required due to different forward voltage and current specifications. PCB layout remains unchanged; power supply and current limiting circuits require adjustment.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are forward voltage (20V to 3.3V), test current (60mA to 300mA), and maximum current rating (175mA to 1A). Color temperature, flux output, viewing angle, and physical dimensions are identical. The substitute offers higher efficiency (98 lm/W vs. 81 lm/W).

Q: Is the package physically identical?

A: Both parts use 5.00mm x 5.00mm 2-SMD Gull Wing packages with 1.48mm maximum seated height. The substitute includes an exposed pad for improved thermal management. PCB footprints are compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the Obsolete status?

A: The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BE8 is no longer manufactured. The MX6AWT-A1-R250-000BE8 is an active product with guaranteed supply availability and ongoing manufacturer support.

Q: Are there compliance differences?

A: The substitute is RoHS Compliant. Both parts are REACH Unaffected and classified as EAR99. The substitute meets current regulatory requirements for new designs.

Q: What is the thermal resistance specification?

A: Both parts have identical thermal resistance of 5°C/W. The substitute's exposed pad provides additional thermal dissipation capability for high-current applications.
