MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CB4 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CB4 is an XLamp® MX-6S White LED in 2-SMD Gull Wing surface mount packaging. This component is classified as Obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The part delivers 104 lumens at 25°C under 60mA test current with a forward voltage of 20V and 87 lm/W efficiency. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent alternatives must be evaluated based on matching electrical characteristics, mechanical compatibility, and performance specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CB4 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 compatibility and assembly process alignment.

Optical Compatibility: Color (White) and viewing angle (120°) must remain consistent with the original design intent.

Thermal Characteristics: Thermal resistance of package (5°C/W) establishes thermal management requirements.

Electrical Operating Range: Forward voltage, test current, maximum current, and luminous flux specifications define the electrical substitution window. Parts operating at significantly different voltage or current levels require circuit redesign and are not considered direct substitutes.

Compliance & Status: REACH compliance and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 2A) establish regulatory and handling requirements.

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CB3 qualifies as a substitute based on matching mechanical envelope, optical properties, thermal characteristics, and compliance certifications, despite differences in electrical operating parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CB3 is available as an Active product from CreeLED, Inc., providing supply continuity for applications currently using the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CB4. Both parts maintain identical mechanical compatibility, optical characteristics (White color, 120° viewing angle), and thermal properties (5°C/W).

The primary consideration for substitution is the significant difference in electrical operating parameters: the MX6AWT operates at 3.3V typical forward voltage with 300mA test current, compared to the MX6SWT's 20V and 60mA specifications. This difference requires circuit-level evaluation to determine compatibility with existing power supply and current-limiting designs.

Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected compliance status and identical MSL 2A (4 Weeks) moisture sensitivity requirements, ensuring regulatory and handling consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CB3 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CB4?

A: Mechanical and optical compatibility is confirmed. However, the substantial difference in forward voltage (3.3V vs. 20V) and test current (300mA vs. 60mA) requires circuit redesign. Direct substitution without circuit modification is not possible.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm) and maximum seated height (1.48mm), ensuring PCB layout compatibility. The MX6AWT includes an exposed pad variant of the 2-SMD Gull Wing package.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and identical MSL 2A (4 Weeks) moisture sensitivity levels, ensuring regulatory and handling consistency.

Q: What is the luminous flux difference between these parts?

A: Both parts deliver 104 lumens at their respective test currents (25°C). The MX6AWT achieves higher efficiency at 105 lm/W compared to the MX6SWT at 87 lm/W.

Q: Is the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CB3 currently available?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT is classified as Active product status with documented inventory availability, providing supply continuity for the obsolete MX6SWT.
