Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Mechanical Compatibility: Package type (2-SMD, Gull Wing), physical dimensions (5.00mm × 5.00mm), and mounting height (1.48mm max) must match to ensure PCB footprint compatibility.

Optical Compatibility: Color specification (White, Cool) and correlated color temperature (5000K) must be identical to maintain consistent light output characteristics in the application.

Electrical Compatibility: Forward voltage (Vf), test current, maximum current rating, and luminous flux output determine circuit design feasibility. Substitutes must operate within the same voltage and current envelope or require circuit redesign.

Thermal & Environmental: Thermal resistance (5°C/W), moisture sensitivity level (2A), and compliance certifications (REACH Unaffected) must be maintained.

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CDZ qualifies as a substitute based on matching optical (5000K cool white), mechanical (5.00mm × 5.00mm, 2-SMD Gull Wing, 1.48mm height), and environmental specifications. However, electrical parameters differ significantly and require circuit evaluation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Obsolescence Mitigation):

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CDZ is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CDZ. Both parts share identical optical output (104 lm at 5000K), mechanical form factor (5.00mm × 5.00mm, 2-SMD Gull Wing), and thermal characteristics (5°C/W). The substitute is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability.

Critical Design Consideration:

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CDZ operates at 3.3V typical forward voltage with 300mA test current, compared to the original part's 20V at 60mA. This represents a fundamental change in electrical operating point. Direct PCB substitution without circuit modification is not feasible. Applications originally designed for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CDZ require driver circuit redesign to accommodate the lower voltage and higher current requirements of the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CDZ.

Compliance & Certification:

The substitute part carries RoHS Compliant certification, providing enhanced environmental compliance compared to the original part specification. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and identical moisture sensitivity levels (2A, 4 weeks).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: No. While both parts share identical optical output (5000K cool white, 104 lm) and mechanical dimensions (5.00mm × 5.00mm), the electrical specifications differ significantly. The substitute operates at 3.3V/300mA versus the original's 20V/60mA. Circuit redesign is required.

Q: Are the physical footprints identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use 2-SMD Gull Wing packaging with 5.00mm × 5.00mm dimensions and 1.48mm maximum seated height. PCB footprints are mechanically compatible. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CDZ includes an exposed pad, which may require layout adjustment for thermal management.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CDZ is classified as obsolete. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CDZ is the active production equivalent from CreeLED, Inc., ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability.

Q: Do both parts have the same color temperature and CRI?

A: Yes. Both parts are specified as cool white (5000K) with a Color Rendering Index of 75 (typical). Optical output is identical at 104 lumens at 25°C.

Q: What are the thermal characteristics?

A: Both parts have identical thermal resistance of 5°C/W and moisture sensitivity level of 2A (4 weeks). Thermal management requirements remain unchanged.

Q: Is the substitute RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CDZ is RoHS Compliant. The original part specification does not indicate RoHS status. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status.
