MX6SWT-A1-0000-000EB1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000EB1 is an XLamp® MX-6S White LED in 2-SMD Gull Wing surface mount packaging. This component is classified as Obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing design and production requirements. The part delivers 118lm at 60mA test current with a forward voltage of 20V and 120° viewing angle. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent alternatives must be evaluated based on matching electrical characteristics, mechanical compatibility, and thermal properties.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000EB1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility: Package type (2-SMD Gull Wing), physical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm), and height (1.48mm maximum) must match to ensure PCB layout and assembly compatibility.

Thermal Properties: Thermal resistance of 5°C/W is a fixed requirement for thermal management equivalence.

Optical Characteristics: White color and 120° viewing angle define the optical performance envelope.

Electrical Operating Point: The substitute must operate within the same voltage and current ranges to function in existing circuit designs without modification.

The identified substitute, MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1, shares identical mechanical dimensions, thermal resistance, color, and viewing angle. However, it operates at significantly different electrical parameters (3.3V forward voltage, 300mA test current) compared to the original part, requiring circuit redesign for direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 provides mechanical and thermal equivalence to the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000EB1, with the advantage of Active product status and RoHS compliance. However, direct pin-for-pin substitution is not possible due to fundamental differences in electrical operating parameters.

For Mechanical Compatibility: The substitute shares identical footprint dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm), height (1.48mm), and thermal resistance (5°C/W), allowing PCB layout reuse without modification.

For Electrical Operation: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 requires circuit redesign. The forward voltage differs by a factor of 6 (3.3V vs. 20V), and the test current differs by a factor of 5 (300mA vs. 60mA). Power supply, current limiting, and drive circuitry must be recalculated for the substitute part.

For Production Continuity: The substitute part is in Active status with 869 pieces in stock, providing supply security compared to the Obsolete original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1 be used as a direct replacement without circuit modification?

A: No. While mechanical and thermal properties are identical, the electrical parameters differ significantly. The substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage and 300mA test current, compared to 20V and 60mA for the original part. Circuit redesign is required.

Q: Are the physical footprints identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use 2-SMD Gull Wing packaging with identical dimensions of 5.00mm x 5.00mm and maximum seated height of 1.48mm. PCB layouts are mechanically compatible.

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

A: The substitute includes an exposed pad, which provides additional thermal dissipation capability. This is a design enhancement that does not prevent mechanical compatibility on existing PCBs.

Q: Why is the original part classified as Obsolete?

A: Product status reflects manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The XLamp® MX-6S series has been superseded by the XLamp® MX-6 series, represented by the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DB1.

Q: Are the moisture sensitivity levels the same?

A: Yes. Both parts are classified as MSL 2A (4 Weeks), requiring identical storage and handling procedures.

Q: How do the luminous flux values compare?

A: The original part delivers 118lm at 60mA, while the substitute delivers 111lm at 300mA. At equivalent power levels, efficiency differs due to different operating points. The substitute achieves 112 lm/W compared to 98 lm/W for the original.
