Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CF8 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Color and CCT: White, Warm 2900K
• Viewing Angle: 120°
• Package Type: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration
• Physical Dimensions: 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint
• Thermal Resistance: 5°C/W
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage - Forward (Vf): May differ based on circuit design requirements
• Current - Test: May differ based on application operating point
• Flux Output: May vary within acceptable lumen range for application
• Lumens/Watt Efficiency: May vary
• Current - Max: May differ based on thermal and design constraints
• CRI: Maintained at 80 (Typ) for color consistency
• Product Status: Active status preferred for long-term availability

The identified substitute part MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AF8 shares the same color temperature, viewing angle, package footprint, and thermal characteristics. However, it operates at significantly different electrical parameters (3.3V Vf, 300mA test current) and represents a different product series (XLamp® MX-6 versus MX-6S).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AF8 holds Active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support, availability, and compliance updates. The original MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CF8 is Obsolete, making the substitute the preferred choice for new designs and long-term procurement.

Compliance and Certifications: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AF8 is RoHS Compliant, whereas RoHS status is not specified for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CF8. Both parts maintain identical REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification. Both carry HTSUS code 8541.41.0000 and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (2A, 4 Weeks).

Electrical Parameter Differences: Substitution requires circuit redesign. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AF8 operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300mA test current, compared to the original 20V at 60mA. This represents a fundamentally different electrical operating point and requires corresponding changes to power supply, current limiting, and thermal management design.

Optical and Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical color temperature (2900K), CRI (80 Typ), viewing angle (120°), footprint (5.00mm x 5.00mm), height (1.48mm), and thermal resistance (5°C/W). The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AF8 includes an exposed pad variant of the Gull Wing package, which may provide improved thermal performance in PCB designs with appropriate thermal vias.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AF8 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CF8?

A: No. While both parts share identical footprint, height, color temperature, and viewing angle, the electrical parameters differ significantly. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AF8 requires 3.3V forward voltage at 300mA test current versus 20V at 60mA for the original part. Direct substitution without circuit modification will result in component failure or inadequate performance.

Q: What are the key parameters that must match for substitution?

A: Color and CCT (2900K warm white), viewing angle (120°), package type (2-SMD Gull Wing), physical footprint (5.00mm x 5.00mm), height (1.48mm), and thermal resistance (5°C/W) must remain consistent. Electrical parameters (Vf, test current, max current) and optical output (lumens) may vary based on application requirements and circuit design.

Q: Does the exposed pad on the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AF8 affect PCB layout?

A: The exposed pad variant provides a thermal connection point to the PCB. PCB designs should incorporate thermal vias connected to the exposed pad to optimize heat dissipation. This is optional but recommended for applications with sustained high current operation or elevated ambient temperatures.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AF8 is RoHS Compliant with Active product status. The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CF8 is Obsolete with unspecified RoHS status. Both maintain identical REACH Unaffected status, EAR99 ECCN, and Moisture Sensitivity Level (2A, 4 Weeks).

Q: What is the impact of the different lumen output between parts?

A: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AF8 produces 91lm (87lm ~ 94lm) at 25°C compared to 104lm (100lm ~ 107lm) for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CF8. This represents approximately 13% lower flux output. Application designs requiring specific lumen targets must account for this difference through circuit design adjustments or alternative component selection.

Q: Which part offers better efficiency?

A: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000AF8 delivers 92 lm/W compared to 87 lm/W for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000CF8. However, efficiency comparison is meaningful only when both parts operate at their respective rated test currents. Direct efficiency comparison across different voltage and current operating points requires application-specific analysis.
