MX6SWT-H1-0000-0008A9 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MX6SWT-H1-0000-0008A9 is an XLamp® MX-6S warm white LED (2850K) designed for surface mount applications. This component operates at 20V forward voltage with a test current of 60mA, delivering 77lm at 25°C with a color rendering index (CRI) of 80. 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 The XLamp® MX-6S series has been superseded by newer generations, requiring careful parameter matching for functional equivalence.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-H1-0000-0008A9 is based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Criteria:

• Color temperature: 2850K warm white (required for color consistency)
• CRI: 80 (color rendering performance)
• Viewing angle: 120° (optical characteristics)
• Package type: 2-SMD, Gull Wing (mechanical and electrical interface)
• Physical dimensions: 5.00mm × 5.00mm footprint (PCB compatibility)
• Thermal resistance: 5°C/W (thermal management equivalence)
• Moisture sensitivity: 2A rating (handling and storage requirements)

Identified Substitute: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008A9 (XLamp® MX-6 series) shares the same color temperature, CRI, viewing angle, package footprint, and thermal characteristics. However, this substitute operates at significantly different electrical parameters: 3.3V forward voltage and 300mA test current versus the original 20V/60mA specification. This electrical difference requires circuit redesign and is not a direct pin-compatible replacement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008A9 is the identified substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-0008A9. Both components share identical optical and thermal characteristics (2850K color temperature, 80 CRI, 120° viewing angle, 5°C/W thermal resistance, and 5.00mm × 5.00mm footprint).

The substitute part is currently in active production status with RoHS compliance certification, providing supply chain continuity and regulatory alignment. However, the electrical specifications differ substantially: the substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300mA test current, compared to the original 20V/60mA specification. This electrical difference necessitates circuit redesign, including modifications to current-limiting resistors, power supply voltage, and PCB layout considerations.

The substitute demonstrates improved efficiency (78 lm/W versus 64 lm/W), which may provide operational benefits in redesigned circuits. Both components maintain identical moisture sensitivity ratings (2A, 4 weeks) and thermal resistance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008A9 be used as a direct replacement without circuit modification?

A: No. The substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300mA test current, whereas the original operates at 20V/60mA. Direct substitution without circuit redesign will result in component failure or malfunction. Power supply voltage, current-limiting resistors, and driver circuits must be reconfigured.

Q: Are the optical characteristics identical between the two parts?

A: Yes. Both components deliver 77lm at 25°C with 2850K color temperature, 80 CRI, and 120° viewing angle. Optical performance and color consistency are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the "Exposed Pad" designation in the substitute part's package?

A: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008A9 features a 2-SMD Gull Wing package with an exposed thermal pad, compared to the standard 2-SMD Gull Wing package of the original. The exposed pad provides enhanced thermal dissipation, supporting the higher current operation (300mA test current, 1A maximum) of the substitute design.

Q: Are both parts compatible with the same PCB footprint?

A: Both components share identical physical dimensions (5.00mm × 5.00mm footprint, 1.48mm seated height). However, the exposed pad on the substitute requires PCB layout modifications to accommodate the thermal pad connection. Standard footprints designed for the original part may require revision.

Q: What is the product status difference, and why does it matter?

A: The original MX6SWT-H1-0000-0008A9 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production and limited availability. The substitute MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008A9 is in active production, ensuring reliable supply chain access and ongoing manufacturer support.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences between the parts?

A: The substitute is certified RoHS compliant. The original part's RoHS status is not specified. Both components are REACH unaffected and carry EAR99 ECCN classification. The substitute's RoHS compliance may be advantageous for applications subject to regulatory requirements.
