Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000EE3 is based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Color and CCT (5000K cool white) must match
• CRI value (75 Typ) must be maintained
• Viewing angle (120°) must be preserved
• Thermal resistance (5°C/W) must be equivalent

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• Surface mount technology (SMD)
• 2-SMD Gull Wing package configuration
• Physical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint)
• Maximum seated height (1.48mm)

Regulatory & Compliance Criteria:

• REACH Unaffected status
• MSL rating 2A (4 Weeks)

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DE3 qualifies as a substitute based on matching color, CCT, CRI, viewing angle, package type, physical dimensions, thermal resistance, MSL rating, and REACH status. However, significant differences exist in forward voltage, test current, and maximum current specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DE3 is available as an active product from CreeLED, Inc., addressing the obsolescence of the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000EE3. Both components share identical color temperature (5000K), CRI (75), viewing angle (120°), package footprint (5.00mm x 5.00mm), seated height (1.48mm), thermal resistance (5°C/W), MSL rating (2A), and REACH compliance status.

The substitute part demonstrates superior luminous efficacy (112 lm/W versus 98 lm/W) and maintains comparable luminous flux output (111lm versus 118lm at respective test currents). The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DE3 includes an exposed pad variant of the 2-SMD Gull Wing package and carries RoHS Compliant certification.

Critical design consideration: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DE3 operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300mA test current, compared to the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000EE3 at 20V and 60mA. This represents a fundamental difference in electrical operating characteristics that requires circuit redesign. The substitute part is not a direct pin-compatible replacement and demands modification of power supply and current-limiting circuitry.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DE3 be used as a direct replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000EE3?

A: No. While both components share identical color temperature, CRI, viewing angle, and physical package dimensions, the forward voltage and operating current differ significantly (20V/60mA versus 3.3V/300mA). Circuit redesign is required.

Q: Are the package dimensions identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both components use a 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint with 1.48mm maximum seated height. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DE3 features an exposed pad variant of the 2-SMD Gull Wing package, which may provide improved thermal performance in applications requiring enhanced heat dissipation.

Q: What is the significance of the exposed pad in the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DE3 package?

A: The exposed pad provides a direct thermal path to the PCB, improving heat transfer from the LED junction. This is particularly beneficial in high-current applications where thermal management is critical.

Q: Does the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DE3 meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both components are REACH Unaffected and carry MSL 2A (4 Weeks) ratings. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DE3 additionally carries RoHS Compliant certification.

Q: How do the luminous flux outputs compare?

A: The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000EE3 produces 118lm at 60mA, while the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DE3 produces 111lm at 300mA. The substitute achieves higher luminous efficacy (112 lm/W versus 98 lm/W), resulting in comparable light output at different operating currents.

Q: Is the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DE3 currently available?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DE3 is classified as an active product with 1070 pieces in stock, whereas the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000EE3 is obsolete with 715 pieces remaining in inventory.
