MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CA4 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CA4 is an XLamp® MX-6S white neutral LED (4000K) designed for surface mount applications. This part operates at 20V forward voltage with a 60mA test current, delivering 104lm at 25°C with 87 lm/W efficiency and an 80 CRI rating. The component features a 120° viewing angle in a 2-SMD gull wing package measuring 5.00mm x 5.00mm.

The product status is obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing design requirements and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CA4 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Color and CCT matching: White, Neutral 4000K
• Flux output range: 100lm to 107lm at 25°C
• CRI specification: 80 (Typ)
• Viewing angle: 120°
• Physical package: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration
• Footprint dimensions: 5.00mm x 5.00mm
• Maximum seated height: 1.48mm
• Thermal resistance: 5°C/W

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CA4 qualifies as a substitute based on matching color, CCT, flux output, CRI, viewing angle, package type, and physical dimensions. However, this substitute operates at significantly different electrical parameters (3.3V forward voltage and 300mA test current versus 20V and 60mA), requiring circuit design modifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CA4 is the identified substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CA4. This substitute maintains optical and mechanical compatibility (identical color, CCT, flux output, CRI, viewing angle, and physical dimensions).

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CA4 carries Active product status and RoHS Compliant certification, providing long-term availability and regulatory compliance advantages over the obsolete main part.

Critical consideration: The substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300mA test current, compared to the main part's 20V and 60mA specifications. Circuit redesign is required to accommodate these electrical differences. The substitute's higher lumens/watt efficiency (105 lm/W versus 87 lm/W) and increased maximum current rating (1A versus 175mA) represent performance improvements within the same optical output range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CA4 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CA4?

A: No. While both parts share identical optical characteristics (color, CCT, flux, CRI, viewing angle) and physical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm, 1.48mm height), they operate at different electrical specifications. The substitute requires 3.3V forward voltage versus 20V for the main part. Circuit modifications to the power supply and current limiting are necessary.

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

A: Substitution is based on matching color (White, Neutral), CCT (4000K), flux output (100lm to 107lm at 25°C), CRI (80 Typ), viewing angle (120°), package type (2-SMD Gull Wing), and physical footprint (5.00mm x 5.00mm with 1.48mm maximum height).

Q: Does the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CA4 offer any advantages over the main part?

A: The substitute provides higher luminous efficacy (105 lm/W versus 87 lm/W), Active product status for ongoing availability, and RoHS Compliant certification. These factors support long-term design sustainability.

Q: Are there package differences between these parts?

A: Both use 2-SMD gull wing packages with identical footprints and heights. The substitute features an exposed pad variant, which may provide improved thermal performance in specific PCB layouts.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both parts?

A: Both parts are rated MSL 2A (4 Weeks), requiring identical handling and storage protocols.
