Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008E8 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-0008E8. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The substitute part carries Active status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support compared to the obsolete main part.

Compliance: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008E8 is RoHS Compliant, providing regulatory advantage for applications subject to RoHS requirements. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification.

Optical and Thermal Equivalence: Both parts deliver identical flux output (77lm at 25°C), CRI (80), viewing angle (120°), and thermal resistance (5°C/W), ensuring optical performance parity.

Circuit Integration Requirement: The substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300mA test current, compared to the main part's 20V and 60mA. Application circuits must be redesigned to accommodate this voltage and current change. The substitute's maximum current rating of 1A provides greater headroom than the main part's 175mA maximum.

Efficiency Improvement: The substitute delivers 78 lm/W compared to the main part's 64 lm/W, representing a 22% efficiency gain at equivalent flux output.

Package Compatibility: The substitute features an exposed pad variant of the 2-SMD Gull Wing package, maintaining identical footprint and height while improving thermal performance through the exposed pad design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008E8 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-0008E8?

A: No. While both parts share identical optical characteristics (77lm, 2700K, 120° viewing angle, CRI 80) and physical footprint (5.00mm x 5.00mm), the substitute requires circuit redesign. The main part operates at 20V/60mA, while the substitute operates at 3.3V/300mA. Power supply and current-limiting circuitry must be modified accordingly.

Q: What is the significance of the exposed pad in the MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008E8 package?

A: The exposed pad variant improves thermal performance by providing direct thermal contact to the PCB. Both parts maintain identical thermal resistance ratings (5°C/W), but the exposed pad design offers enhanced heat dissipation capability in practical applications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008E8 is RoHS Compliant, while the main part's RoHS status is not specified. Both parts are REACH Unaffected and carry EAR99 ECCN classification. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the substitute is the appropriate selection.

Q: How does the efficiency difference affect application design?

A: The substitute delivers 78 lm/W versus the main part's 64 lm/W at their respective test currents. This 22% efficiency improvement means the substitute generates equivalent light output (77lm) with lower power dissipation, reducing thermal load on the application circuit.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The main part (MX6SWT-H1-0000-0008E8) has 841 pieces in stock with obsolete status. The substitute (MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008E8) has 1026 pieces in stock with active status, ensuring continued availability for new designs and production runs.

Q: Are the moisture sensitivity levels identical?

A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL Rating 2A (4 Weeks), requiring identical handling and storage protocols during manufacturing and assembly.
