Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DB2 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility: Package type (2-SMD, Gull Wing), physical dimensions (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm), and height (1.48 mm max) must match to ensure PCB assembly compatibility without design modification.

Electrical Characteristics: Color (White), viewing angle (120°), and thermal resistance (5°C/W) establish functional equivalence. However, forward voltage (Vf), test current, and maximum current ratings define circuit-level compatibility and must be evaluated against application requirements.

Performance Metrics: Luminous flux (111 lm) and lumens/watt efficiency (93 lm/W) represent baseline performance. Substitute parts may operate at different test currents and forward voltages, resulting in different absolute flux values and efficiency ratings.

Regulatory & Compliance: REACH status, ECCN classification, and moisture sensitivity level must remain consistent or equivalent to maintain supply chain and regulatory compliance.

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB2 is identified as a substitute based on matching mechanical form factor, identical viewing angle, identical thermal resistance, and identical color specification, despite differences in electrical operating parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DB2 is Obsolete, while the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 is Active. Selection of an active product ensures continued availability and supply chain stability.

Compliance & Certification: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 carries RoHS Compliance certification, whereas RoHS status is not specified for the main part. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications.

Electrical Parameter Differences: The substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage versus 20V for the main part, with test current of 300 mA versus 60 mA. Circuit design must accommodate these differences through appropriate current-limiting resistor and power supply adjustments. The substitute achieves higher efficiency (112 lm/W versus 93 lm/W) at its specified test current.

Mechanical & Thermal Equivalence: Both parts share identical physical dimensions, height, thermal resistance, and viewing angle, enabling direct PCB footprint compatibility without layout modification.

Package Variant: The substitute features an Exposed Pad variant of the 2-SMD, Gull Wing package and is supplied in Tape & Reel format, standard for production quantities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DB2?

A: Mechanical compatibility is confirmed—both parts use identical 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm 2-SMD, Gull Wing packages with 1.48 mm maximum height. However, electrical parameters differ significantly. The substitute requires 3.3V forward voltage and 300 mA test current versus 20V and 60 mA for the original. Circuit redesign is necessary to accommodate these differences.

Q: What are the key differences in electrical performance?

A: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 operates at lower forward voltage (3.3V vs. 20V) and higher test current (300 mA vs. 60 mA). Both deliver identical luminous flux (111 lm) at their respective test conditions. The substitute achieves higher efficiency (112 lm/W vs. 93 lm/W). Maximum current rating increases from 175 mA to 1000 mA.

Q: Are there package differences between these parts?

A: The main part uses standard 2-SMD, Gull Wing packaging. The substitute uses 2-SMD, Gull Wing with Exposed Pad, which provides improved thermal performance through direct solder connection to the PCB pad. Both maintain identical external dimensions and height.

Q: What is the significance of the Exposed Pad variant?

A: The Exposed Pad design in the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 allows direct thermal coupling to the PCB, enhancing heat dissipation. Both parts maintain identical thermal resistance specification (5°C/W), indicating equivalent thermal performance when properly soldered.

Q: Does the substitute meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications. The substitute carries explicit RoHS Compliance certification, whereas the main part does not specify RoHS status. Both maintain MSL 2A (4 Weeks) moisture sensitivity.

Q: What supply chain advantages does the substitute offer?

A: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 is classified as Active, ensuring continued manufacturing and availability. The main part is Obsolete, presenting long-term supply risk. The substitute is supplied in standard Tape & Reel packaging for production environments.
