MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DB5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DB5 is an XLamp® MX-6S White LED in 2-SMD, Gull Wing surface mount packaging. This component is classified as Obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent substitute parts for ongoing design requirements. The part delivers 111 lumens at 25°C under 60mA test current with a forward voltage of 20V and 120° viewing angle. Due to its obsolete status, the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 from the same XLamp® family serves as the primary substitute option.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DB5 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility: Both the main part and substitute must share identical mounting type (Surface Mount), package configuration (2-SMD, Gull Wing), physical dimensions (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm), and maximum seated height (1.48 mm) to ensure PCB footprint compatibility.

Optical Characteristics: The viewing angle of 120° is maintained across the substitute part, ensuring consistent light distribution in the application.

Thermal Properties: Thermal resistance of 5°C/W is identical, allowing equivalent thermal management in the circuit design.

Environmental Compliance: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification, ensuring regulatory consistency.

Electrical Parameters: While the substitute operates at different voltage and current specifications (3.3V at 300mA versus 20V at 60mA), both are white LEDs in the XLamp® family with comparable flux output (111 lm) at their respective test conditions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DB5 based on the following criteria:

Product Status: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 maintains Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support, whereas the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DB5 is Obsolete.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute part carries RoHS Compliant certification, providing enhanced environmental compliance compared to the main part specification. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical footprint dimensions (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm), mounting type (Surface Mount), and seated height (1.48 mm) ensure direct PCB compatibility. The package variant (Gull Wing Exposed Pad versus standard Gull Wing) does not affect mechanical fit.

Optical Performance: Both parts deliver identical flux output (111 lm) and viewing angle (120°), maintaining consistent optical characteristics in the application.

Thermal Management: Identical thermal resistance (5°C/W) ensures equivalent thermal performance in circuit design.

Electrical Considerations: The substitute operates at significantly different electrical parameters (3.3V/300mA versus 20V/60mA). Circuit redesign is required to accommodate the different voltage and current specifications. The substitute demonstrates 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-A1-0000-000DB5?

A: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 is mechanically compatible (identical footprint, mounting type, and height) but requires circuit redesign due to different electrical specifications. The substitute operates at 3.3V/300mA versus the original 20V/60mA. Power supply and current-limiting circuitry must be modified accordingly.

Q: What are the key mechanical parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Mechanical compatibility is determined by mounting type (Surface Mount), package configuration (2-SMD, Gull Wing), physical dimensions (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm), and maximum seated height (1.48 mm). The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 meets all these requirements.

Q: How do the optical characteristics compare?

A: Both parts deliver 111 lumens at their respective test conditions and maintain a 120° viewing angle, ensuring equivalent light distribution in the application.

Q: What is the significance of the package variant difference (Gull Wing versus Gull Wing Exposed Pad)?

A: The Exposed Pad variant in the substitute part provides enhanced thermal dissipation through direct contact with the PCB thermal pad. This does not affect mechanical compatibility or electrical performance but may improve thermal management in high-power applications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The substitute part (MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1) is RoHS Compliant, whereas the main part specification does not indicate RoHS status. Both maintain REACH Unaffected status and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications.

Q: What is the impact of the different efficiency ratings?

A: The substitute delivers 112 lm/W compared to 93 lm/W for the original part. This represents improved luminous efficiency at the substitute's operating current (300mA). However, direct efficiency comparison requires accounting for the different voltage and current specifications.
