Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DA4 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Parametric Equivalent (Same Series, Same Electrical Characteristics):

• MX6SWT-A1-R250-000DE5: Identical electrical specifications (20V, 60mA, 111lm, 93 lm/W, 4000K, 80 CRI). Differs only in packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® versus standard packaging). Same XLamp® MX-6S series. Both obsolete status.

Similar Substitute (Different Series, Different Electrical Characteristics):

• MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CA4: Same color temperature (4000K), same viewing angle (120°), same package footprint (5.00mm x 5.00mm), same CRI (80). Differs in electrical characteristics: 3.3V forward voltage, 300mA test current, 104lm output, 105 lm/W efficiency. Belongs to XLamp® MX-6 series (not MX-6S). Active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MX6SWT-A1-R250-000DE5 (Parametric Equivalent): This part provides direct electrical and functional equivalence to the main part number. All critical parameters—forward voltage, test current, luminous flux, efficiency, color temperature, and CRI—are identical. The only distinction is packaging format. Both parts share obsolete status. Selection of this substitute requires no circuit redesign and maintains identical electrical performance characteristics.

MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CA4 (Similar Substitute): This part differs significantly in electrical characteristics: forward voltage is reduced from 20V to 3.3V, and test current increases from 60mA to 300mA. Luminous flux decreases from 111lm to 104lm, and efficiency increases from 93 lm/W to 105 lm/W. The package footprint, viewing angle, color temperature, and CRI remain compatible. This part carries active product status, providing long-term availability. Circuit redesign is required to accommodate the different voltage and current specifications. The exposed pad variant of the package may affect thermal management characteristics compared to the standard gull wing package.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MX6SWT-A1-R250-000DE5 be used as a direct replacement for MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DA4?

A: Yes. Both parts are from the XLamp® MX-6S series with identical electrical specifications: 20V forward voltage, 60mA test current, 111lm output, 93 lm/W efficiency, 4000K color temperature, and 80 CRI. The difference is packaging format only (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® versus standard packaging). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What are the key differences between MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CA4 and the main part?

A: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CA4 operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300mA test current, compared to 20V and 60mA for the main part. Output is 104lm versus 111lm. Efficiency is higher at 105 lm/W versus 93 lm/W. Color temperature (4000K), CRI (80), viewing angle (120°), and footprint (5.00mm x 5.00mm) are identical. This part belongs to the XLamp® MX-6 series (not MX-6S) and carries active product status.

Q: Why is the main part obsolete while MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CA4 is active?

A: The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DA4 (XLamp® MX-6S series) has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CA4 (XLamp® MX-6 series) remains in active production. For new designs or long-term procurement, the active part provides sustained availability.

Q: Can I use MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CA4 in a circuit designed for MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DA4?

A: Direct substitution is not possible without circuit redesign. The voltage and current specifications differ substantially (3.3V/300mA versus 20V/60mA). The power supply, current limiting resistors, and driver circuitry must be recalculated for the different electrical characteristics. The exposed pad package variant may also require PCB layout modifications for thermal management.

Q: What is the significance of the exposed pad in MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CA4?

A: The exposed pad variant improves thermal dissipation by providing direct thermal contact to the PCB. This is beneficial for applications requiring enhanced heat transfer, though both parts maintain the same 5°C/W thermal resistance specification.

Q: Are all three parts compatible with the same PCB footprint?

A: All three parts share the same 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint and 1.48mm maximum seated height. However, the exposed pad variant (MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CA4) requires PCB design modifications to accommodate the exposed pad connection. The two MX6SWT variants use standard gull wing packages without exposed pads.
