Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BF6 is evaluated based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Color and CCT (3750K warm white) must match
• CRI (80 Typ) must be maintained
• Viewing angle (120°) must be preserved
• Flux output (97 lm nominal) must be equivalent

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Package type: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration
• Physical dimensions: 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm footprint
• Height: 1.48 mm maximum seated height
• Thermal resistance: 5°C/W

Operational Differences: The identified substitute, MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA5, operates at significantly different electrical parameters (3.3V forward voltage, 300 mA test current) compared to the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BF6 (20V, 60 mA). While both components share identical color temperature, CRI, viewing angle, physical dimensions, and thermal characteristics, the voltage and current requirements differ substantially. This substitute is suitable only for applications where the circuit design can accommodate the lower voltage and higher current specifications of the MX-6 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BF6 is obsolete, while the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA5 is active. The active status of the substitute ensures ongoing availability and manufacturing support.

Compliance and Certifications: Both components maintain REACH Unaffected status. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA5 carries RoHS Compliant certification, providing additional regulatory alignment for applications subject to RoHS requirements.

Electrical Parameter Differences: Direct substitution requires circuit redesign. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA5 operates at 3.3V typical forward voltage with 300 mA test current, compared to the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BF6 at 20V and 60 mA. Power supply, current limiting, and thermal management designs must be adjusted accordingly.

Mechanical and Optical Compatibility: Both components share identical physical dimensions (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm), height (1.48 mm), thermal resistance (5°C/W), color temperature (3750K), CRI (80), and viewing angle (120°). PCB footprints are compatible with minor consideration for the exposed pad variant on the substitute.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA5 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BF6?

A: No. While both components share identical optical and mechanical characteristics, the forward voltage and current specifications differ significantly (20V/60 mA vs. 3.3V/300 mA). Direct substitution requires circuit redesign to accommodate the lower voltage and higher current requirements of the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA5.

Q: Are the physical footprints identical?

A: Yes. Both components have identical dimensions (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm) and seated height (1.48 mm). The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA5 features an exposed pad variant of the 2-SMD Gull Wing package, which may require PCB layout adjustment for thermal management but maintains mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do both LEDs produce the same light output?

A: Both components deliver 97 lumens at 25°C with identical color temperature (3750K) and CRI (80). However, the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA5 achieves higher efficiency (98 lm/W vs. 81 lm/W) due to its lower operating voltage.

Q: What is the difference between the MX-6S and MX-6 series?

A: The MX-6S series (MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BF6) operates at higher voltage (20V) with lower current (60 mA), while the MX-6 series (MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA5) operates at lower voltage (3.3V) with higher current (300 mA). Both series share identical optical and thermal properties.

Q: Is the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA5 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA5 is RoHS Compliant. RoHS compliance status for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BF6 is not specified in available documentation.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BF6 is supplied in bulk packaging. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000BA5 is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for high-volume production environments.
