Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DF5 is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Compatibility Parameters:

• Color: White, Neutral (required match)
• CCT: 4250K or adjacent neutral white range (4000K acceptable within neutral white specification)
• Viewing Angle: 120° (required match)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (required match)
• Package Type: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration (required match)
• Physical Dimensions: 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint (required match)
• Height - Seated (Max): 1.48mm (required match)
• Thermal Resistance: 5°C/W (required match)
• CRI: 80 (Typ) (required match)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 2A (4 Weeks) (required match)

Secondary Variation Parameters (allowable differences):

• Voltage - Forward (Vf): May vary based on series design (MX-6S vs. MX-6)
• Current - Test: May vary based on series design
• Current - Max: May vary based on series design
• Lumens/Watt: May vary based on series efficiency
• Product Status: Active status preferred over obsolete
• Packaging Format: Cut Tape (CT), Digi-Reel®, or Tape & Reel (TR) acceptable

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CZ5 (XLamp® MX-6 series, active status) and MX6SWT-A1-R250-000DE5 (XLamp® MX-6S series, 4000K CCT variant).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CZ5 (XLamp® MX-6 Series)

This substitute is classified as active product status, providing long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The part maintains identical color temperature (4250K), viewing angle (120°), physical dimensions, and thermal characteristics. The primary electrical difference is reduced forward voltage (3.3V vs. 20V) and increased test current (300mA vs. 60mA), reflecting the MX-6 series design. Efficiency is improved at 105 lm/W compared to 93 lm/W. The package includes an exposed pad variant. RoHS compliance is confirmed. Selection of this part requires circuit redesign to accommodate the lower voltage and higher current specifications.

MX6SWT-A1-R250-000DE5 (XLamp® MX-6S Series)

This substitute maintains identical series designation (XLamp® MX-6S), forward voltage (20V), test current (60mA), and luminous flux (111lm). The color temperature differs at 4000K versus 4250K, representing a shift within the neutral white spectrum. All mechanical, thermal, and dimensional parameters remain identical. Product status is obsolete, matching the main part. Packaging format is Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® rather than standard format. This part provides direct electrical compatibility with minimal circuit modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CZ5 be used as a direct replacement for MX6SWT-A1-0000-000DF5?

A: Physical and optical compatibility is confirmed through matching footprint (5.00mm x 5.00mm), height (1.48mm), viewing angle (120°), color temperature (4250K), and thermal resistance (5°C/W). Electrical compatibility requires circuit modification due to different forward voltage (3.3V vs. 20V) and test current (300mA vs. 60mA) specifications. The MX-6 series design operates at lower voltage with higher current draw.

Q: What is the significance of the CCT difference between 4250K and 4000K?

A: Both 4250K and 4000K are classified as neutral white color temperatures. The 250K difference represents a slight shift toward warmer appearance. For applications where precise color matching is required, the 4250K specification (MX6SWT-A1-R250-000DE5) provides closer alignment to the original part. For general neutral white applications, 4000K is functionally equivalent.

Q: Does the exposed pad on MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CZ5 affect PCB layout?

A: The exposed pad variant (2-SMD, Gull Wing Exposed Pad) provides enhanced thermal dissipation compared to standard gull wing packages. PCB layout must accommodate the exposed pad connection, typically through thermal vias to a ground or thermal plane. This represents a layout modification from the original part.

Q: What is the impact of improved efficiency (105 lm/W vs. 93 lm/W) on system design?

A: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CZ5 delivers higher luminous output per watt of input power. For fixed luminous flux requirements, this allows reduced drive current or improved thermal performance. For fixed current operation, this results in increased light output.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between the substitute parts?

A: MX6AWT-A1-0000-000CZ5 is confirmed RoHS compliant. Both main part and MX6SWT-A1-R250-000DE5 show REACH unaffected status. All parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) classifications. Moisture sensitivity level is uniform at 2A (4 Weeks) across all parts.

Q: Which substitute part requires the least circuit modification?

A: MX6SWT-A1-R250-000DE5 maintains identical electrical specifications (20V forward voltage, 60mA test current, 175mA maximum current) and series designation. The only difference is color temperature (4000K vs. 4250K). This part requires no electrical circuit modification, only verification that 4000K color temperature is acceptable for the application.
