Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BF8 is based on the following critical parameters that must align across parts:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Color: White, Warm
• CCT (K): 2850K
• CRI (Color Rendering Index): 80 (Typ)
• Viewing Angle: 120°
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration
• Physical Dimensions: 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint
• Height - Seated (Max): 1.48mm
• Thermal Resistance of Package: 5°C/W

Flexible Parameters (within acceptable engineering tolerance):

• Voltage - Forward (Vf): May vary based on circuit design requirements
• Current - Test: May vary based on application operating point
• Lumens/Watt efficiency: May vary within acceptable performance range
• Current - Max: May vary based on thermal management capability

The substitute part MX6AWT-A1-R250-000BA9 maintains all mandatory matching parameters while operating at different electrical specifications (3.3V, 300mA test current) suitable for alternative circuit topologies.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-R250-000BA9 is the primary substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BF8. Both parts share identical color temperature (2850K), color rendering index (80), luminous flux output (97lm), viewing angle (120°), and physical footprint (5.00mm x 5.00mm).

The key difference is electrical specification: the MX6AWT operates at 3.3V with 300mA test current versus the MX6SWT's 20V at 60mA. This substitution requires circuit redesign to accommodate the lower forward voltage and higher current requirements. The MX6AWT-A1-R250-000BA9 offers improved efficiency (98 lm/W versus 81 lm/W) and active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support.

The MX6AWT-A1-R250-000BA9 is RoHS Compliant, providing regulatory advantage over the MX6SWT for new designs and applications subject to environmental compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-R250-000BA9 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000BF8?

A: No. While both parts share identical physical footprint, color temperature, and luminous output, the MX6AWT operates at significantly different electrical specifications (3.3V versus 20V, 300mA versus 60mA). Circuit redesign is required to accommodate the lower forward voltage and higher current requirements.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 5.00mm x 5.00mm with a maximum seated height of 1.48mm. PCB footprint compatibility is maintained. The MX6AWT includes an exposed pad variant of the 2-SMD Gull Wing package, which may provide improved thermal performance in high-power applications.

Q: What is the significance of the "Active" product status for the MX6AWT-A1-R250-000BA9?

A: Active product status indicates the MX6AWT-A1-R250-000BA9 is currently manufactured and supported by CreeLED, Inc., ensuring long-term availability, consistent supply, and access to technical support. The obsolete status of the MX6SWT makes the active MX6AWT the recommended path for ongoing production and new designs.

Q: Do both parts meet the same moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are classified as MSL 2A (4 Weeks), requiring identical handling, storage, and reflow procedures during assembly.

Q: What is the difference between the package designations "2-SMD, Gull Wing" and "2-SMD, Gull Wing Exposed Pad"?

A: The MX6AWT includes an exposed pad beneath the component, which provides direct thermal contact to the PCB. This improves heat dissipation in applications requiring higher power operation. The MX6SWT does not include this exposed pad feature. Both maintain identical external dimensions and footprint compatibility.
