Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CE5 is based on the following criteria:

Mechanical Compatibility: Both the main part and substitute maintain identical footprint dimensions (5.00mm × 5.00mm), maximum seated height (1.48mm), and thermal resistance (5°C/W). Both use 2-SMD gull wing surface mount packages, ensuring PCB layout compatibility.

Optical Compatibility: Both parts produce identical color temperature (4000K neutral white) and CRI (80 Typ), maintaining consistent light quality and color rendering in the application.

Electrical Differences: The primary distinction lies in forward voltage and current ratings. The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CE5 operates at 20V/60mA, while the substitute MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CE5 operates at 3.3V/300mA. These represent fundamentally different electrical designs within the same optical and mechanical envelope.

Performance Metrics: Both parts deliver 104 lumens at their respective test currents and temperatures. The substitute achieves superior efficiency (105 lm/W vs. 87 lm/W) due to its lower voltage design.

Product Status: The main part is obsolete; the substitute is active production, ensuring long-term availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Part Replacement: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CE5 is the direct substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CE5. Both parts share identical optical output (104 lm, 4000K, 80 CRI), mechanical footprint (5.00mm × 5.00mm, 1.48mm height), and thermal characteristics (5°C/W).

Electrical Circuit Redesign Required: Substitution requires circuit modification. The MX6AWT operates at 3.3V/300mA versus the original 20V/60mA. Current-limiting resistor values and power supply voltage must be recalculated for the new electrical specification.

Compliance Advantage: The substitute part carries RoHS Compliance certification, whereas the original part's RoHS status is not specified. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Production Availability: The substitute is in active production with 4545 units in stock, compared to 619 units of the obsolete original. Long-term supply continuity is assured with the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CE5.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CE5 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CE5?

A: No. While both parts share identical mechanical footprint, optical output, and thermal characteristics, they have fundamentally different electrical specifications (20V/60mA vs. 3.3V/300mA). PCB circuit redesign is required, including modification of current-limiting resistors and power supply voltage.

Q: Are the package dimensions identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 5.00mm × 5.00mm with a maximum seated height of 1.48mm. The primary package difference is that the substitute includes an exposed pad, which may improve thermal performance in applications utilizing that feature.

Q: Will the light output and color quality remain the same after substitution?

A: Yes. Both parts deliver 104 lumens at 25°C with 4000K neutral white color temperature and 80 CRI. Optical performance is identical.

Q: What is the main advantage of switching to the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CE5?

A: The substitute offers superior luminous efficiency (105 lm/W vs. 87 lm/W), active production status with guaranteed long-term availability, and RoHS Compliance certification. These factors offset the requirement for circuit redesign.

Q: Are there any thermal management differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical thermal resistance of 5°C/W and MSL rating of 2A (4 Weeks). Thermal management strategies remain unchanged.
