MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CB9 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CB9 is a CreeLED XLamp® MX-6S white surface mount LED with a forward voltage of 20V and 60mA test current, delivering 104lm at 25°C. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent substitute parts for ongoing design requirements and procurement needs. The XLamp® MX-6S series has been superseded by newer product lines, making substitute part selection critical for system continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CB9 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Color: White
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration)
• Physical dimensions: 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint with 1.48mm maximum seated height
• Thermal Resistance: 5°C/W
• Viewing Angle: 120°
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 2A (4 Weeks)

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CB3 qualifies as a substitute based on matching color, mounting type, package configuration, physical dimensions, thermal characteristics, and environmental specifications. However, this substitute operates at significantly different electrical parameters (3.3V forward voltage and 300mA test current versus the original 20V and 60mA), requiring circuit-level design verification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CB3 is available as an active product from CreeLED, Inc., providing supply continuity for the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CB9. Both parts share identical physical dimensions, thermal characteristics, and viewing angle specifications, enabling direct footprint compatibility.

The substitute part demonstrates improved luminous efficacy (105 lm/W versus 87 lm/W) and carries RoHS compliance certification, meeting modern regulatory requirements. However, the electrical operating parameters differ substantially: the substitute operates at 3.3V with 300mA test current compared to the original 20V and 60mA specification. This difference requires complete circuit redesign, including power supply topology and current limiting provisions.

Selection of the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CB3 is appropriate only when circuit architecture can accommodate the lower forward voltage and higher current requirements. Designs constrained to 20V operation cannot use this substitute without fundamental circuit modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CB3 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CB9?

A: No. While both parts share identical physical dimensions and footprint compatibility, the electrical parameters differ significantly. The substitute requires 3.3V forward voltage versus the original 20V, necessitating circuit redesign.

Q: Are the package configurations identical between these parts?

A: Both use 2-SMD, Gull Wing surface mount packages with 5.00mm x 5.00mm dimensions and 1.48mm maximum seated height. The substitute features an exposed pad variant, which may provide improved thermal performance in specific PCB layouts.

Q: What are the key mechanical compatibility factors?

A: Mechanical compatibility is confirmed across all specified dimensions, thermal resistance (5°C/W), viewing angle (120°), and moisture sensitivity level (2A, 4 Weeks). Both parts are suitable for identical PCB footprints and assembly processes.

Q: Does the substitute part meet current regulatory standards?

A: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CB3 carries RoHS compliance certification. Both parts are REACH Unaffected and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The original MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CB9 is classified as obsolete. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CB3 is an active product offering continued availability and supply security.
