Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DB4 is determined by the following critical parameters:

  • Color: White (must match)
  • Mounting Type: Surface Mount (must match)
  • Package / Case: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration (must match)
  • Physical Dimensions: 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm footprint and 1.48 mm maximum seated height (must match)
  • Viewing Angle: 120° (must match)
  • Thermal Resistance: 5°C/W (must match)
  • Moisture Sensitivity Level: 2A (4 Weeks) (must match)

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 qualifies as a substitute based on matching all mechanical and optical parameters. However, electrical characteristics differ significantly: the substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300mA test current, compared to the original part's 20V and 60mA specifications. This electrical difference requires circuit-level design verification before implementation.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 is the identified substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DB4. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

  • Product Status: The substitute is Active, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.
  • Compliance: The substitute is RoHS Compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
  • Mechanical Compatibility: Identical footprint (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm), seated height (1.48 mm), and thermal resistance (5°C/W) ensure direct PCB layout compatibility.
  • Optical Performance: Matching flux output (111 lm) and viewing angle (120°) preserve optical system performance.

Critical design consideration: The substitute operates at fundamentally different electrical parameters (3.3V/300mA versus 20V/60mA). Circuit redesign, including driver and power supply modifications, is required. The substitute's higher efficiency (112 lm/W versus 93 lm/W) and higher maximum current rating (1A versus 175mA) provide additional design flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 be used as a direct drop-in replacement without circuit modification?

A: No. While the substitute matches all mechanical and optical parameters, the electrical specifications differ significantly. The original part operates at 20V/60mA, while the substitute operates at 3.3V/300mA. Driver circuit and power supply redesign is mandatory.

Q: What are the key mechanical compatibility factors?

A: The substitute maintains identical footprint (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm), maximum seated height (1.48 mm), and thermal resistance (5°C/W). Both use 2-SMD, Gull Wing surface mount packaging. The substitute features an exposed pad variant, which may provide improved thermal performance in high-power applications.

Q: How do the optical characteristics compare?

A: Both parts deliver 111 lumens at their respective test currents and maintain a 120° viewing angle. Optical output is equivalent for the intended application.

Q: What compliance advantages does the substitute offer?

A: The substitute is RoHS Compliant and carries Active product status, ensuring regulatory alignment and long-term supply availability. The original part is Obsolete.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: The main part uses standard 2-SMD, Gull Wing packaging. The substitute uses 2-SMD, Gull Wing with Exposed Pad. The exposed pad provides enhanced thermal dissipation capability. Standard packaging compatibility is maintained for PCB assembly.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity consideration?

A: Both parts carry MSL 2A (4 Weeks) rating, indicating identical moisture handling and storage requirements. No change to component storage or assembly procedures is necessary.
