Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CE3 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Color and Correlated Color Temperature (CCT): White, Cool 5000K
• Luminous Flux: 104lm at 25°C
• Viewing Angle: 120°
• Package Type: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration
• Physical Dimensions: 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint
• Thermal Resistance: 5°C/W
• Color Rendering Index (CRI): 75 (Typ)

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CE3 shares identical optical characteristics (color, CCT, flux output, viewing angle, CRI) and mechanical compatibility (package, dimensions, thermal properties). However, this substitute operates at significantly different electrical parameters: 3.3V forward voltage and 300mA test current versus the original 20V/60mA specification. This electrical difference requires circuit-level evaluation for compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CE3 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CE3. Both components are manufactured by CreeLED, Inc. and share identical optical and thermal specifications. The substitute is currently in Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability.

The primary consideration for substitution is the electrical parameter difference: the MX6AWT operates at 3.3V/300mA versus the original 20V/60mA. This requires modification of the LED driver circuit and power supply configuration. The substitute's higher efficiency (105 lm/W versus 87 lm/W) and RoHS compliance status provide additional design benefits.

Mechanical compatibility is confirmed: both components use identical 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprints, 1.48mm seated height, and 5°C/W thermal resistance. The MX6AWT package includes an exposed pad, which may improve thermal performance in applications requiring enhanced heat dissipation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CE3 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CE3?

A: No. While both components share identical optical characteristics and mechanical footprints, the electrical parameters differ significantly. The MX6AWT requires a 3.3V power supply and 300mA driver circuit, whereas the MX6SWT requires 20V and 60mA. Circuit redesign is necessary.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible?

A: Yes. Both components have identical 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprints and 1.48mm maximum seated height, allowing PCB layout reuse without modification.

Q: What is the difference between the 2-SMD Gull Wing and 2-SMD Gull Wing Exposed Pad packages?

A: The exposed pad on the MX6AWT provides direct thermal contact to the PCB, improving heat dissipation. This is beneficial for high-power or thermally constrained applications. The original MX6SWT does not include this feature.

Q: Is the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CE3 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CE3 is RoHS Compliant. RoHS status for the original MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CE3 is not specified in the available documentation.

Q: What is the impact of the efficiency difference between the two parts?

A: The MX6AWT delivers 105 lm/W compared to 87 lm/W for the MX6SWT at their respective test currents. This 18 lm/W improvement reflects advances in LED technology and may reduce thermal load in the application.

Q: Are both components available in the same packaging format?

A: The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CE3 is supplied in standard packaging. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CE3 is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for high-volume production. Reel specifications should be confirmed with the supplier for procurement purposes.
