Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000E53 is identified as a substitute for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000E53 based on the following substitution criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• Color and CCT: Both White, Cool 6000K
• Viewing Angle: Both 120°
• Mounting Type: Both Surface Mount
• Package Footprint: Both 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration
• Physical Dimensions: Both 5.00mm x 5.00mm
• Height - Seated (Max): Both 1.48mm
• Thermal Resistance: Both 5°C/W
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both 2A (4 Weeks)
• REACH Status: Both REACH Unaffected
• ECCN: Both EAR99

Differing Parameters (Acceptable for Substitution):

• Series: MX-6S (main) vs. MX-6 (substitute)
• Voltage - Forward (Vf): 20V (main) vs. 3.3V (substitute)
• Current - Test: 60mA (main) vs. 300mA (substitute)
• Lumens/Watt: 98 lm/W (main) vs. 119 lm/W (substitute)
• Current - Max: 175mA (main) vs. 1A (substitute)
• Product Status: Obsolete (main) vs. Active (substitute)
• RoHS Status: Not specified (main) vs. RoHS Compliant (substitute)
• Packaging: Unspecified (main) vs. Tape & Reel (substitute)

The substitute maintains identical optical output (118lm at 25°C), color temperature, viewing angle, and physical form factor, enabling direct replacement in applications where the electrical operating point can be adapted to the lower voltage and higher current characteristics of the MX-6 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000E53 is suitable as a substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000E53 based on the following factors:

Product Status: The substitute is Active, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity compared to the Obsolete status of the main part.

Compliance & Certifications: The substitute carries RoHS Compliant certification, providing enhanced environmental compliance. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected and EAR99 ECCN classifications.

Optical Compatibility: Both parts deliver identical luminous flux (118lm) and color temperature (6000K), with the substitute offering improved efficiency (119 lm/W vs. 98 lm/W).

Physical & Thermal Compatibility: Identical footprint, height, and thermal resistance ensure direct PCB layout compatibility without redesign.

Electrical Adaptation Required: The primary design consideration is the voltage and current difference. The substitute operates at 3.3V with 300mA test current versus 20V at 60mA for the main part. Circuit design must accommodate this lower voltage, higher current characteristic through appropriate current-limiting and power supply modifications.

Packaging: The substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel format, supporting automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000E53 be used as a direct drop-in replacement without circuit modification?

A: No. While the physical footprint and optical output are identical, the electrical operating point differs significantly. The substitute requires 3.3V at 300mA versus 20V at 60mA for the original part. Circuit redesign is necessary to accommodate the lower voltage and higher current requirements.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is based on matching color temperature (6000K), viewing angle (120°), luminous flux (118lm), physical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm), height (1.48mm), thermal resistance (5°C/W), and package configuration (2-SMD, Gull Wing). The substitute maintains all these parameters.

Q: Does the substitute offer any advantages over the original part?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000E53 is Active (versus Obsolete), RoHS Compliant, and delivers higher luminous efficiency (119 lm/W versus 98 lm/W). These factors support long-term design sustainability and environmental compliance.

Q: Are there any thermal or reliability differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts share identical thermal resistance (5°C/W) and moisture sensitivity level (2A, 4 Weeks), indicating equivalent thermal management and handling requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the Exposed Pad in the substitute's package?

A: The Exposed Pad in the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000E53 provides enhanced thermal dissipation capability through direct contact with the PCB ground plane, supporting improved heat transfer compared to the standard Gull Wing package of the original part.
