Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CE7 is determined by the following criteria:

Parametric Equivalent (Same Series, Different Packaging):

• MX6SWT-A1-R250-000CE7: Identical electrical specifications (20V, 60mA, 104 lm, 87 lm/W, 80 CRI, 120° viewing angle, 5°C/W thermal resistance). Differs only in packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® instead of Tape & Reel). Both are obsolete XLamp® MX-6S devices with matching 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm footprint and 1.48 mm height.

Similar Substitute (Different Series, Different Electrical Characteristics):

• MX6AWT-01-0000-000CE7: Different XLamp® MX-6 series with significantly different electrical parameters (3.3V forward voltage vs. 20V, 300mA test current vs. 60mA, 105 lm/W vs. 87 lm/W). Maintains identical color temperature (3000K warm white), viewing angle (120°), package footprint (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm), and height (1.48 mm). This part is active status and RoHS compliant. Substitution requires circuit redesign due to voltage and current differences.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (No Circuit Modification Required): Select MX6SWT-A1-R250-000CE7 when packaging format flexibility is acceptable. This part maintains identical electrical performance (20V, 60mA, 104 lm, 87 lm/W) and thermal characteristics as the primary part. Both are obsolete XLamp® MX-6S components with matching footprint and height specifications. The only difference is packaging delivery format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® vs. Tape & Reel). Current inventory of 1182 units provides extended availability.

For Active Product Status with Design Modification: Select MX6AWT-01-0000-000CE7 when long-term component availability and active product support are required. This part is currently active status and RoHS compliant, ensuring future sourcing capability. However, the XLamp® MX-6 series operates at significantly lower forward voltage (3.3V vs. 20V) and higher test current (300mA vs. 60mA), requiring complete circuit redesign including power supply and current limiting modifications. The part delivers improved efficiency (105 lm/W vs. 87 lm/W) and maintains identical color temperature (3000K), viewing angle (120°), and physical footprint (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm, 1.48 mm height). Current inventory of 658 units is available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MX6SWT-A1-R250-000CE7 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CE7?

A: Yes. Both parts are XLamp® MX-6S devices with identical electrical specifications (20V forward voltage, 60mA test current, 104 lm output, 87 lm/W efficiency, 80 CRI, 120° viewing angle). The only difference is packaging format: MX6SWT-A1-R250-000CE7 is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format while MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CE7 is supplied in Tape & Reel format. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What are the key differences between MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CE7 and MX6AWT-01-0000-000CE7?

A: These parts belong to different XLamp® series with distinct electrical characteristics. MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CE7 (MX-6S series) operates at 20V forward voltage with 60mA test current, while MX6AWT-01-0000-000CE7 (MX-6 series) operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300mA test current. Both deliver 104 lumens at their respective test currents and maintain 3000K color temperature and 120° viewing angle. The MX6AWT-01-0000-000CE7 is active status and RoHS compliant, whereas both MX-6S variants are obsolete.

Q: Why does MX6AWT-01-0000-000CE7 have higher lumens/watt efficiency?

A: The MX6AWT-01-0000-000CE7 achieves 105 lm/W at its 300mA test current compared to 87 lm/W for MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CE7 at 60mA test current. This reflects different operating points and device architecture between the MX-6 and MX-6S series. Efficiency comparisons are valid only at their respective rated test currents.

Q: Are the physical footprints identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical physical dimensions: 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm footprint with 1.48 mm maximum seated height. However, MX6AWT-01-0000-000CE7 features an exposed pad in its 2-SMD Gull Wing package, while the MX-6S variants do not. All three parts have 5°C/W thermal resistance and 2A MSL rating (4 weeks).

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: MX6AWT-01-0000-000CE7 is the only active status part and is RoHS compliant, making it the appropriate choice for new designs requiring long-term component availability and regulatory compliance. Both MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CE7 and MX6SWT-A1-R250-000CE7 are obsolete and should be reserved for legacy product support only.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging?

A: Both are standard surface mount packaging formats. Tape & Reel (TR) provides continuous reel format suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® offers flexibility for lower-volume or mixed-component orders. Electrical and thermal performance are identical; packaging selection depends on production volume and assembly equipment compatibility.
