Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DB6 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Package type: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration
• Physical dimensions: 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint
• Maximum seated height: 1.48mm
• Viewing angle: 120°

Thermal Characteristics:

• Thermal resistance: 5°C/W

Regulatory & Compliance:

• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 2A (4 Weeks)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected
• ECCN: EAR99

The identified substitute MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 maintains identical mechanical dimensions, thermal resistance, MSL rating, and regulatory compliance. However, electrical parameters differ significantly: the substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300mA test current, compared to the original 20V at 60mA. These electrical differences require circuit-level evaluation for compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DB6. Both components share identical mechanical footprints, thermal characteristics, and regulatory compliance status (REACH Unaffected, EAR99 classification).

The substitute is classified as Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. Both components maintain the same MSL rating of 2A (4 Weeks), requiring identical moisture control during storage and assembly.

The primary distinction lies in electrical operation: the substitute operates at significantly lower forward voltage (3.3V vs. 20V) and higher test current (300mA vs. 60mA). Circuit redesign is required to accommodate these electrical differences. The substitute demonstrates improved luminous efficacy (112 lm/W vs. 93 lm/W) at its specified operating point.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Mechanical and thermal compatibility is confirmed. However, electrical parameters differ substantially. The substitute requires circuit-level modifications to accommodate 3.3V forward voltage operation versus the original 20V specification. PCB layout and driver circuitry must be evaluated for compatibility.

Q: Are the package dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both components use 2-SMD Gull Wing packaging with 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprints and 1.48mm maximum seated height. The substitute features an exposed pad variant, which may provide improved thermal performance in high-power applications.

Q: What are the moisture handling requirements?

A: Both components carry MSL 2A (4 Weeks) rating. Storage conditions, reflow procedures, and assembly handling must comply with IPC-A-610 standards for this moisture sensitivity level.

Q: Are there regulatory compliance differences?

A: No. Both components maintain identical REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification, ensuring equivalent regulatory treatment in export and supply chain applications.

Q: What is the luminous output difference?

A: Both components deliver 111lm at their respective test currents. The substitute achieves higher luminous efficacy (112 lm/W vs. 93 lm/W) due to lower operating voltage and higher current specification.
