Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DB3 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Color: White (must match)
• Viewing Angle: 120° (must match)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (must match)
• Package / Case: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration (must match)
• Physical Dimensions: 5.00mm × 5.00mm footprint (must match)
• Height - Seated (Max): 1.48mm (must match)
• Thermal Resistance: 5°C/W (must match)

Functional Parameters (allowable variance):

• Voltage - Forward (Vf): Different voltage ratings are acceptable if circuit design accommodates the change
• Current - Test: Different test currents are acceptable if within device maximum ratings
• Luminous Flux: Variation acceptable within application requirements
• Lumens/Watt efficiency: Variation acceptable based on application needs

The identified substitute MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB3 shares identical mechanical, thermal, and optical characteristics while operating at different electrical parameters (3.3V, 300mA test current). This substitution is valid only when the application circuit can be adapted to the different voltage and current specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 is the identified substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DB3 based on matching mechanical, thermal, and optical specifications. The following factors support this substitution:

Product Status Consideration: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability compared to the Obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DB3.

Compliance & Certifications: Both components maintain REACH Unaffected status and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 2A, 4 Weeks), ensuring equivalent handling and storage requirements.

Mechanical & Thermal Compatibility: Identical footprint (5.00mm × 5.00mm), height (1.48mm maximum seated), and thermal resistance (5°C/W) confirm direct PCB layout compatibility without redesign.

Electrical Parameter Differences: The substitute operates at 3.3V typical forward voltage with 300mA test current, compared to the main part's 20V and 60mA. Circuit redesign is required to accommodate this voltage and current change. The substitute's maximum current rating of 1A provides greater headroom than the main part's 175mA maximum.

Optical Performance: Both components deliver identical luminous flux (111lm at 25°C) and viewing angle (120°), with the substitute offering improved efficiency (112 lm/W versus 93 lm/W).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DB3?

A: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 is mechanically and thermally compatible for PCB placement without modification. However, the electrical specifications differ significantly (3.3V/300mA versus 20V/60mA), requiring circuit redesign to accommodate the different voltage and current requirements. Direct substitution without circuit modification is not possible.

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

A: Color (White), viewing angle (120°), mounting type (Surface Mount), package configuration (2-SMD Gull Wing), footprint (5.00mm × 5.00mm), seated height (1.48mm maximum), and thermal resistance (5°C/W) must remain constant. Voltage, current, and luminous flux may vary based on application requirements.

Q: Why is the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DB3 classified as Obsolete?

A: The XLamp® MX-6S series has been superseded by newer XLamp® generations. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 from the active XLamp® MX-6 series represents the current product line continuation.

Q: Are there any compliance or handling differences between these components?

A: Both components maintain identical REACH Unaffected status and MSL 2A (4 Weeks) moisture sensitivity classification, ensuring equivalent compliance and handling requirements throughout the supply chain.

Q: What is the significance of the "Exposed Pad" designation in the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 package?

A: The Exposed Pad in the 2-SMD Gull Wing Exposed Pad configuration provides enhanced thermal dissipation compared to standard Gull Wing packages. This contributes to the improved efficiency rating (112 lm/W) and supports higher current operation (1A maximum versus 175mA).

Q: How do the luminous flux specifications compare?

A: Both components deliver 111lm (107–114lm range) at 25°C under their respective test currents. The substitute achieves this output at higher efficiency (112 lm/W at 300mA test current versus 93 lm/W at 60mA test current).
