Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DB7 is based on the following criteria derived from the provided parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility: The substitute part must maintain identical package type (2-SMD, Gull Wing), physical dimensions (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm), and maximum seated height (1.48 mm) to ensure PCB layout and assembly compatibility.

Optical Characteristics: Both parts must deliver equivalent luminous flux at their respective test currents and maintain the same 120° viewing angle for consistent optical performance in the application.

Thermal Properties: Thermal resistance of 5°C/W must be preserved to maintain thermal management consistency.

Regulatory Compliance: REACH status and ECCN classification must align with the original part specifications.

Color and Emission: White color output is required for direct substitution.

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 qualifies as a substitute based on these mechanical and optical parameters, despite differences in electrical operating conditions (forward voltage and test current).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 is available as an active product from CreeLED, Inc., providing supply continuity for the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DB7. Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions, thermal characteristics, and optical output (111 lm at their respective test currents), enabling direct PCB-level substitution.

The substitute part operates at significantly lower forward voltage (3.3V vs. 20V) and higher test current (300 mA vs. 60 mA), requiring circuit redesign to accommodate the different electrical operating point. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 demonstrates improved efficiency (112 lm/W vs. 93 lm/W) and higher maximum current rating (1 A vs. 175 mA).

The substitute part includes RoHS compliance certification and is supplied in Tape & Reel format, supporting automated assembly processes. Both parts maintain identical MSL classification (2A, 4 Weeks) and regulatory status (REACH Unaffected, ECCN EAR99).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DB7?

A: Mechanical and thermal compatibility is confirmed. However, the significant difference in forward voltage (3.3V vs. 20V) and test current (300 mA vs. 60 mA) requires circuit modification. Direct PCB substitution without driver circuit redesign is not possible.

Q: What are the key mechanical compatibility factors?

A: Both parts share identical package type (2-SMD, Gull Wing), footprint dimensions (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm), and maximum seated height (1.48 mm). PCB layout compatibility is maintained. The substitute includes an exposed pad, which may provide improved thermal performance in applications utilizing this feature.

Q: How do the optical characteristics compare?

A: Both parts deliver 111 lm luminous flux at their respective test currents and maintain 120° viewing angle. Optical output and beam pattern are equivalent for application-level performance.

Q: What is the impact of the different electrical operating points?

A: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 requires a 3.3V power supply and 300 mA drive current versus the original part's 20V and 60 mA. Driver circuit redesign is mandatory. The substitute offers higher efficiency (112 lm/W vs. 93 lm/W) and greater maximum current capability (1 A vs. 175 mA).

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences?

A: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification. The substitute adds RoHS compliance certification. MSL classification is identical (2A, 4 Weeks).

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The original part is supplied in bulk format. The substitute is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format, supporting automated pick-and-place assembly.
