MX6SWT-A1-0000-000EE4 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MX6SWT-A1-0000-000EE4 is a CreeLED XLamp® MX-6S neutral white LED (4500K) designed for surface mount applications. This component operates at 20V forward voltage with a 60mA test current, delivering 118lm at 25°C with a 120° viewing angle. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The XLamp® MX-6S series has been superseded by newer generations, requiring careful parameter matching for direct replacement scenarios.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DE4 is identified as a substitute for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000EE4 based on the following allowable parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Color and CCT: Both are White, Neutral 4500K
• Viewing Angle: Both maintain 120° viewing angle
• Mounting Type: Both are Surface Mount
• Package Footprint: Both use 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration with identical 5.00mm x 5.00mm dimensions
• Height - Seated (Max): Both are 1.48mm
• Thermal Resistance: Both are 5°C/W
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both are 2A (4 Weeks)
• CRI: Both are 75 (Typ)
• Manufacturer: Both are CreeLED, Inc.

Differing Parameters:

• Series: MX-6S (obsolete) vs. MX-6 (active)
• Voltage - Forward (Vf): 20V vs. 3.3V
• Current - Test: 60mA vs. 300mA
• Flux @ 25°C: 118lm vs. 111lm
• Lumens/Watt: 98 lm/W vs. 112 lm/W
• Current - Max: 175mA vs. 1A
• Product Status: Obsolete vs. Active
• Packaging: Bulk vs. Tape & Reel (TR)
• Package Detail: Standard Gull Wing vs. Gull Wing Exposed Pad

The substitution is valid for applications where the color temperature, viewing angle, and physical footprint are critical, provided that the circuit design can accommodate the different voltage and current characteristics of the MX-6 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DE4 serves as a direct substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000EE4 in applications where color temperature (4500K neutral white), viewing angle (120°), and physical footprint (5.00mm x 5.00mm, 1.48mm height) are primary design constraints.

The substitute part is currently in active production status with RoHS compliance certification, providing supply chain continuity and regulatory alignment for new designs and production runs. The identical thermal resistance (5°C/W) and moisture sensitivity rating (2A, 4 Weeks) ensure equivalent handling and storage requirements.

Circuit redesign is required to accommodate the significant differences in forward voltage (20V to 3.3V) and test current (60mA to 300mA). The substitute operates at lower voltage with higher current draw, necessitating adjustment of current-limiting resistors and power supply specifications. The improved lumens-per-watt efficiency (112 lm/W vs. 98 lm/W) of the substitute may reduce overall system power consumption despite the higher operating current.

The exposed pad configuration of the substitute part provides enhanced thermal management compared to the standard gull wing package of the main part, supporting improved heat dissipation in high-density applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DE4 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000EE4?

A: Physical and optical compatibility is confirmed (identical footprint, height, viewing angle, and color temperature). However, electrical circuit redesign is mandatory due to the different forward voltage (20V vs. 3.3V) and test current (60mA vs. 300mA) specifications. Direct substitution without circuit modification will result in component failure or malfunction.

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

A: Substitution is based on matching color temperature (4500K), viewing angle (120°), mounting type (surface mount), physical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm), seated height (1.48mm), thermal resistance (5°C/W), and moisture sensitivity level (2A, 4 Weeks). These parameters ensure mechanical compatibility and equivalent environmental handling requirements.

Q: How does the exposed pad configuration of the substitute part affect PCB design?

A: The exposed pad in the MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DE4 provides direct thermal contact to the PCB, improving heat dissipation. PCB layout should include a thermal pad connected to ground or a dedicated thermal plane to maximize this advantage. Standard gull wing packages without exposed pads require alternative thermal management strategies.

Q: Is the substitute part suitable for new product designs?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DE4 is in active production status with RoHS compliance, making it appropriate for new designs. The improved efficiency (112 lm/W) and active supply status provide advantages over the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-0000-000EE4 for forward-looking applications.

Q: What packaging format is available for the substitute part?

A: The MX6AWT-A1-0000-000DE4 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly processes. The main part was available in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with procurement specifications for your manufacturing process.
