Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-A1-R250-000EB3 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Package configuration: 2-SMD, Gull Wing format
• Physical dimensions: 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint
• Maximum seated height: 1.48mm
• Thermal resistance: 5°C/W

Electrical Compatibility:

• Color: White
• Viewing angle: 120°
• Thermal resistance of package: 5°C/W
• Moisture sensitivity level: 2A (4 Weeks)

Regulatory Compliance:

• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected
• ECCN: EAR99

The substitute part MX6AWT-A1-R250-000DB1 shares identical mechanical dimensions, package type, viewing angle, thermal characteristics, and regulatory compliance status. Both components are CreeLED XLamp® series white LEDs in 2-SMD Gull Wing packages with matching footprints and thermal properties.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-A1-R250-000DB1 is an active product with RoHS compliance certification, providing regulatory advantage over the obsolete MX6SWT-A1-R250-000EB3. Both components share identical mechanical compatibility, including footprint dimensions, package type, and thermal characteristics, enabling direct PCB layout reuse.

The primary electrical difference is the forward voltage specification: the MX6AWT operates at 3.3V versus the MX6SWT at 20V. Circuit design modifications are required to accommodate this voltage difference. The MX6AWT also operates at higher test current (300mA versus 60mA) and achieves superior luminous efficacy (112 lm/W versus 98 lm/W).

The MX6AWT-A1-R250-000DB1 is available in Tape & Reel packaging with 1100 units in stock, compared to the MX6SWT with 654 units available. The substitute part's active product status ensures long-term availability and continued manufacturer support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-A1-R250-000DB1 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-A1-R250-000EB3?

A: The components share identical mechanical dimensions and package footprints, allowing PCB layout reuse without modification. However, the forward voltage differs significantly (3.3V versus 20V), requiring circuit redesign for the power supply and current limiting circuitry. Direct soldering substitution without electrical circuit modification is not appropriate.

Q: What are the key mechanical compatibility factors?

A: Both parts feature 2-SMD Gull Wing packages with 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprints and 1.48mm maximum seated height. Thermal resistance is identical at 5°C/W. Moisture sensitivity levels match at 2A (4 Weeks). These parameters ensure mechanical and thermal interchangeability at the component level.

Q: How do the optical characteristics compare?

A: Both components emit white light with 120° viewing angles. The MX6AWT delivers 111lm at 300mA test current, compared to 118lm at 60mA for the MX6SWT. The MX6AWT achieves higher luminous efficacy at 112 lm/W versus 98 lm/W for the MX6SWT.

Q: What regulatory compliance differences exist?

A: The MX6AWT-A1-R250-000DB1 carries RoHS compliance certification, while the MX6SWT-A1-R250-000EB3 does not specify RoHS status. Both components are REACH Unaffected and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: Does the package configuration differ between these parts?

A: The MX6SWT uses a standard 2-SMD Gull Wing package, while the MX6AWT features a 2-SMD Gull Wing Exposed Pad configuration. The exposed pad in the MX6AWT provides enhanced thermal dissipation capability. Both maintain identical external dimensions and footprints.
