Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000E50 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Color and CCT: White, Cool 6000K (must match exactly)
• Viewing Angle: 120° (must match)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (must match)
• Package / Case: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration (must match)
• Physical Dimensions: 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint (must match)
• Thermal Resistance: 5°C/W (must match)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 2A (4 Weeks) (must match)

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000E50 qualifies as a substitute based on matching all mechanical and optical parameters. However, this substitute operates at significantly different electrical parameters: 3.3V forward voltage and 300mA test current, compared to the original 20V and 60mA. Circuit design modifications are required to accommodate these electrical differences.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000E50 is the identified substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000E50. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• RoHS compliance certification of the substitute meets current regulatory requirements
• Identical optical output (118lm at 25°C) and color temperature (6000K) maintain luminous performance
• Matching mechanical footprint (5.00mm x 5.00mm, 1.48mm height) and thermal characteristics (5°C/W) enable direct PCB placement compatibility
• Identical viewing angle (120°) and moisture sensitivity level (2A, 4 Weeks) preserve environmental performance specifications

Circuit design modifications are mandatory due to electrical parameter differences. The substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300mA test current, requiring redesign of current-limiting and voltage regulation circuits compared to the original 20V/60mA specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000E50 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000E50?

A: No. While the substitute matches all mechanical and optical parameters, it requires circuit redesign. The forward voltage differs significantly (3.3V vs. 20V), and the test current is substantially higher (300mA vs. 60mA). Driver circuits and current-limiting resistors must be recalculated for the substitute's electrical characteristics.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between the main part and substitute?

A: Yes. Both parts share the same footprint (5.00mm x 5.00mm), height (1.48mm maximum), and thermal resistance (5°C/W). PCB layout compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the difference between the 2-SMD Gull Wing and 2-SMD Gull Wing Exposed Pad packages?

A: The substitute includes an exposed pad, which provides enhanced thermal dissipation. This does not affect electrical compatibility but may improve thermal performance in the application.

Q: Does the substitute meet current compliance standards?

A: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000E50 is RoHS compliant. Both parts are REACH unaffected and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: Will the luminous output be the same?

A: Yes. Both parts deliver 118lm at 25°C under their respective test conditions, maintaining identical optical performance in the application.
