Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-H1-0000-0008F8 is evaluated based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Color and correlated color temperature (CCT): Must match 2850K warm white specification
• Luminous flux output: Must fall within or near the 77lm specification at rated test conditions
• Color Rendering Index (CRI): Must maintain 80 or higher for color accuracy
• Viewing angle: Must match or exceed 120° for directional consistency

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Package type: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration for PCB footprint alignment
• Mounting type: Surface mount for automated assembly compatibility
• Physical dimensions: 5.00mm × 5.00mm footprint and 1.48mm maximum height for clearance requirements
• Thermal resistance: 5°C/W for thermal management equivalence

Operational Parameters:

• Forward voltage and current ratings must be compatible with existing circuit design
• Maximum current rating must support the application's power budget

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008F8 meets these substitution criteria through matching color temperature, CRI, package geometry, and thermal characteristics, while operating under different voltage and current conditions suitable for alternative circuit topologies.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008F8 is classified as Active, providing assured long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-0008F8. This status supports continued production and maintenance operations.

Compliance & Certifications: Both components share identical REACH and ECCN classifications (REACH Unaffected, EAR99), ensuring regulatory equivalence. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008F8 carries RoHS Compliant certification, meeting environmental compliance requirements for modern manufacturing standards.

Electrical Design Consideration: Substitution requires circuit redesign to accommodate the voltage and current differences. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008F8 operates at 3.3V typical forward voltage with 300mA test current, compared to the MX6SWT-H1-0000-0008F8 at 20V and 60mA. Power supply and current-limiting circuitry must be adjusted accordingly.

Mechanical & Thermal Equivalence: Identical footprint (5.00mm × 5.00mm), height (1.48mm), and thermal resistance (5°C/W) ensure direct PCB placement compatibility. The exposed pad variant of the MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008F8 provides enhanced thermal dissipation capability.

Optical Performance: Both components deliver identical luminous flux (77lm), color temperature (2850K), CRI (80), and viewing angle (120°), ensuring optical equivalence in the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008F8 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-0008F8?

A: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008F8 shares identical mechanical dimensions, thermal characteristics, and optical output with the MX6SWT-H1-0000-0008F8. However, the forward voltage (3.3V vs. 20V) and test current (300mA vs. 60mA) differ significantly. Direct PCB placement is possible, but the power supply and current-limiting circuit must be redesigned to accommodate the lower voltage and higher current requirements.

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

A: Substitution is determined by matching color temperature (2850K), luminous flux (77lm), CRI (80), viewing angle (120°), package type (2-SMD, Gull Wing), footprint (5.00mm × 5.00mm), height (1.48mm), and thermal resistance (5°C/W). Voltage and current ratings are application-dependent and do not prevent substitution if the circuit is redesigned accordingly.

Q: Why is the MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008F8 listed as a substitute if the electrical specifications differ?

A: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008F8 is functionally equivalent in optical output, color rendering, and mechanical form factor. The electrical differences reflect different circuit topologies and power delivery approaches. Both components deliver identical light output characteristics, making them suitable substitutes when circuit design is adjusted.

Q: What is the significance of the exposed pad on the MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008F8?

A: The exposed pad variant provides direct thermal contact to the PCB, improving heat dissipation efficiency. This enhances thermal management compared to the standard gull wing package, supporting higher sustained operating currents and improved reliability in thermally demanding applications.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these components?

A: Both components share identical REACH and ECCN classifications. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008F8 carries RoHS Compliant certification, meeting environmental standards for modern manufacturing. The MX6SWT-H1-0000-0008F8 does not specify RoHS status. Both maintain identical moisture sensitivity levels (2A, 4 weeks).

Q: What packaging formats are available for the MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008F8?

A: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008F8 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. The MX6SWT-H1-0000-0008F8 is available in bulk packaging. TR format provides improved handling efficiency for high-volume production.
