Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CE8 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Criteria:

• Color and CCT: White, Warm 2700K (must match for color consistency)
• Viewing Angle: 120° (optical performance requirement)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (PCB assembly compatibility)
• Package / Case: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration (footprint and assembly compatibility)
• Physical Dimensions: 5.00mm × 5.00mm (board layout constraint)
• Height – Seated: 1.48mm maximum (clearance requirement)
• Thermal Resistance: 5°C/W (thermal management equivalence)
• MSL Rating: 2A (4 Weeks) (moisture handling and storage compatibility)

Electrical Performance Parameters:

• Forward Voltage (Vf): Operating voltage range determines circuit compatibility
• Current Rating: Test current and maximum current define power supply requirements
• Luminous Flux: Light output performance at specified test conditions
• Lumens/Watt: Efficacy metric for energy efficiency comparison
• CRI: Color rendering capability (80 Typ for warm white applications)

The substitute part MX6AWT-A1-R250-000BE8 shares the same color temperature (2700K), viewing angle (120°), mounting type (Surface Mount), package configuration (2-SMD, Gull Wing), physical dimensions (5.00mm × 5.00mm), height (1.48mm), thermal resistance (5°C/W), and MSL rating (2A, 4 Weeks). However, it operates at significantly different electrical parameters: 3.3V forward voltage versus 20V, and 300mA test current versus 60mA. These differences require circuit redesign and are not direct pin-compatible substitutes without modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-R250-000BE8 is the identified substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CE8. Both components are manufactured by CreeLED, Inc., and share identical color temperature (2700K), viewing angle (120°), mounting configuration, physical footprint, and thermal characteristics.

The MX6AWT-A1-R250-000BE8 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. It is RoHS Compliant, providing regulatory compliance for applications subject to RoHS requirements. The component is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Critical consideration: The MX6AWT-A1-R250-000BE8 operates at 3.3V forward voltage and 300mA test current, compared to the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CE8's 20V and 60mA specifications. This represents a fundamental change in electrical operating parameters. Direct substitution without circuit modification is not possible. Applications currently designed for 20V operation require power supply redesign and current limiting circuit adjustment to accommodate the 3.3V, 300mA operating point of the substitute component.

The luminous flux output is comparable: 97lm (substitute) versus 104lm (main part), representing a 6.7% reduction in light output. The substitute component delivers superior luminous efficacy at 98 lm/W compared to 87 lm/W, indicating more efficient energy conversion at its specified operating current.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-R250-000BE8 be used as a direct replacement without circuit modification?

A: No. The MX6AWT-A1-R250-000BE8 operates at 3.3V forward voltage and 300mA test current, whereas the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CE8 requires 20V and 60mA. Direct substitution requires redesign of the power supply and current limiting circuitry. The components are not pin-compatible without electrical circuit changes.

Q: Are the physical dimensions and mounting footprints identical?

A: Yes. Both components share identical physical dimensions (5.00mm × 5.00mm), maximum seated height (1.48mm), and 2-SMD Gull Wing mounting configuration. PCB footprints are compatible for mechanical placement. However, electrical circuit redesign is still required due to voltage and current differences.

Q: What is the difference between the package configurations?

A: The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CE8 is supplied in bulk packaging. The MX6AWT-A1-R250-000BE8 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. Both are surface mount components with identical footprints.

Q: How do the light output specifications compare?

A: The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CE8 produces 104lm at 60mA and 20V (87 lm/W). The MX6AWT-A1-R250-000BE8 produces 97lm at 300mA and 3.3V (98 lm/W). The substitute delivers 6.7% lower absolute flux but superior efficacy. Light output comparison must account for the different operating currents and voltages.

Q: Are both components suitable for warm white (2700K) applications?

A: Yes. Both components are specified as White, Warm 2700K with CRI of 80 (Typ). Color temperature and color rendering characteristics are identical, ensuring color consistency in applications requiring warm white illumination.

Q: What is the significance of the "Exposed Pad" designation in the substitute part?

A: The MX6AWT-A1-R250-000BE8 features an exposed pad on the package underside, improving thermal dissipation compared to standard configurations. This enhances heat transfer to the PCB, supporting higher current operation (1A maximum versus 175mA maximum for the main part).

Q: Is the substitute part RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT-A1-R250-000BE8 is RoHS Compliant. The main part (MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CE8) does not specify RoHS status. Both components are REACH Unaffected.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level, and how does it affect handling?

A: Both components are rated MSL 2A (4 Weeks), indicating they can be exposed to ambient conditions for up to 4 weeks before soldering. After this period, components must be baked according to IPC standards before assembly to prevent moisture-induced defects.
