Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the MX6SWT-A1-0000-000EZ5 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Color and CCT (4000K neutral white)
• Viewing angle (120°)
• CRI (80 typical)
• Thermal resistance (5°C/W)
• Mounting type (surface mount)
• Physical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint, 1.48mm max height)
• Package configuration (2-SMD, Gull Wing)

Substitution Categories:

1. Parametric Equivalent (Same Series): MX6SWT-A1-R250-000EE5 — Identical electrical and thermal specifications with different packaging (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® vs. standard packaging).

2. Similar Substitute (Different Series): MX6AWT-A1-R250-000CZ5 — Different series (XLamp® MX-6 vs. MX-6S) with significantly different electrical characteristics (3.3V forward voltage, 300mA test current, 1A maximum current). This part maintains color, CCT, viewing angle, CRI, physical dimensions, and thermal resistance but operates at substantially lower voltage and higher current.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Parametric Equivalence (MX6SWT-A1-R250-000EE5):

This part is a direct parametric equivalent to the main part number. Both are from the XLamp® MX-6S series with identical electrical specifications (20V forward voltage, 60mA test current, 175mA maximum current, 118lm flux output, 98 lm/W efficiency). The difference is packaging format: the equivalent uses Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging versus standard packaging. Both parts are classified as obsolete. Selection of this equivalent is appropriate when packaging format compatibility is acceptable.

For Similar Substitution (MX6AWT-A1-R250-000CZ5):

This part represents a different product series (XLamp® MX-6 vs. MX-6S) with substantially different electrical operating parameters. The MX6AWT operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300mA test current and 1A maximum current, compared to the 20V/60mA/175mA specifications of the main part. While maintaining identical color temperature (4000K), viewing angle (120°), CRI (80), physical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm), and thermal resistance (5°C/W), this substitute requires complete circuit redesign for power supply and current limiting. The MX6AWT-A1-R250-000CZ5 is active product status and RoHS compliant, offering better long-term availability. Selection of this substitute is appropriate only when circuit topology can accommodate the lower voltage and higher current requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MX6SWT-A1-R250-000EE5 be used as a direct replacement for MX6SWT-A1-0000-000EZ5?

A: Yes. Both parts are from the XLamp® MX-6S series with identical electrical and thermal specifications. The difference is packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® versus standard packaging). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What are the key differences between MX6SWT-A1-0000-000EZ5 and MX6AWT-A1-R250-000CZ5?

A: The primary differences are series designation and electrical operating parameters. MX6SWT operates at 20V forward voltage with 60mA test current, while MX6AWT operates at 3.3V with 300mA test current. Both maintain 4000K color temperature, 120° viewing angle, 80 CRI, and identical physical dimensions. The MX6AWT requires different power supply and current limiting circuit design.

Q: Are the physical footprints identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical physical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm) and maximum seated height (1.48mm), enabling use of the same PCB footprint. However, the MX6AWT-A1-R250-000CZ5 features an exposed pad variant of the 2-SMD Gull Wing package, which may affect thermal management considerations.

Q: What is the impact of product status (obsolete vs. active) on part selection?

A: Both MX6SWT variants are classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production. The MX6AWT-A1-R250-000CZ5 is active product status, providing better long-term availability and supply chain stability. For new designs or long-term production requirements, the active MX6AWT substitute may offer procurement advantages despite requiring circuit redesign.

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-R250-000CZ5 be used in existing designs without modification?

A: No. The MX6AWT requires complete circuit redesign due to its 3.3V forward voltage and 300mA test current specifications, which differ substantially from the 20V/60mA requirements of the MX6SWT. Power supply voltage, current limiting resistors or drivers, and thermal management must be recalculated.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging formats listed?

A: MX6SWT-A1-0000-000EZ5 uses standard packaging. MX6SWT-A1-R250-000EE5 uses Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. MX6AWT-A1-R250-000CZ5 uses Tape & Reel (TR) format. These are supply chain and handling formats; electrical and thermal performance remain unchanged within each series.
