MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CB3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CB3 is an XLamp® MX-6S White LED in 2-SMD Gull Wing surface mount packaging. This component operates at 20V forward voltage with a 60mA test current, delivering 104lm at 25°C and 87 lm/W efficiency. The part is classified as Obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent alternatives for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Substitute parts must maintain compatible mechanical form factors, electrical operating parameters, and thermal characteristics to ensure direct replacement capability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CB3 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility: Package type (2-SMD Gull Wing), physical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm), and maximum seated height (1.48mm) must match to ensure PCB layout and assembly compatibility.

Optical Compatibility: Color (White) and viewing angle (120°) must remain constant to preserve intended optical performance in the application.

Thermal Compatibility: Thermal resistance (5°C/W) ensures equivalent heat dissipation characteristics.

Electrical Operating Range: Forward voltage, test current, maximum current, and flux output determine circuit design feasibility. Substitute parts may operate at different voltage and current levels provided the application circuit can accommodate the electrical requirements.

Environmental & Compliance: Moisture sensitivity level (2A), REACH status, and product status (Active vs. Obsolete) affect supply chain reliability and regulatory compliance.

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CB3 qualifies as a substitute based on matching mechanical form factor, optical properties, thermal characteristics, and environmental compliance, despite differing electrical operating parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Part Replacement: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CB3 is the designated substitute for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CB3. The substitute maintains Active product status, ensuring long-term supply chain availability and manufacturing support.

Electrical Circuit Redesign Required: The substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300mA test current, compared to the original 20V/60mA specification. Circuit design modifications are necessary to accommodate the different voltage and current requirements. The substitute supports higher maximum current (1A vs. 175mA), providing greater operational headroom.

Compliance & Regulatory: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and identical MSL ratings (2A, 4 Weeks), ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, compared to bulk packaging for the original part. This affects procurement and assembly processes but does not impact component functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CB3 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CB3?

A: No. While both parts share identical mechanical form factors, optical properties, and thermal characteristics, the substitute operates at significantly different electrical parameters (3.3V/300mA vs. 20V/60mA). Circuit redesign is required to accommodate the substitute's electrical requirements.

Q: What are the key compatibility factors for substitution?

A: Mechanical compatibility (2-SMD Gull Wing package, 5.00mm x 5.00mm dimensions, 1.48mm maximum height), optical compatibility (White color, 120° viewing angle), thermal compatibility (5°C/W thermal resistance), and environmental compliance (MSL 2A, REACH Unaffected status) determine substitution eligibility.

Q: Why does the substitute have different voltage and current specifications?

A: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CB3 belongs to the XLamp® MX-6 series, while the original part is from the XLamp® MX-6S series. These are distinct product lines with different electrical architectures, despite sharing the same physical package and optical output.

Q: Are there any supply chain advantages to using the substitute?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CB3 maintains Active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturing support and supply availability. The original MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CB3 is Obsolete, making long-term procurement increasingly difficult.

Q: How do the efficiency ratings compare?

A: The substitute delivers 105 lm/W at its test current (300mA), compared to 87 lm/W for the original part at 60mA. Both parts produce equivalent luminous flux (104lm) at 25°C, but the substitute achieves higher efficiency per watt.

Q: What packaging format differences exist?

A: The original part is supplied in bulk packaging, while the substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. This affects procurement quantities and assembly line integration but does not impact electrical or optical performance.
