Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-H1-0000-0008Z8 is based on the following criteria:

Matching Parameters (Required for Substitution):

• Color and CCT: White, Warm 2700K
• Viewing Angle: 120°
• Package Type: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration
• Physical Dimensions: 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint
• Thermal Resistance: 5°C/W
• CRI: 80
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 2A (4 Weeks)

Allowable Variations:

• Forward Voltage (Vf): May differ based on circuit design requirements
• Test Current: May differ based on application operating conditions
• Flux Output: Must maintain equivalent or superior lumen output at specified test conditions
• Lumens/Watt Efficiency: May vary with different operating parameters
• Maximum Current Rating: May differ based on thermal management capability
• Product Status: Active status preferred for long-term availability

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008Z8 qualifies as a substitute based on matching color temperature, viewing angle, package configuration, physical dimensions, thermal characteristics, and CRI rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008Z8 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-0008Z8. Selection is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008Z8 maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-0008Z8.

Optical and Thermal Compatibility: Both components deliver identical flux output (77lm at 25°C), matching CRI (80), and identical viewing angle (120°). Thermal resistance is equivalent at 5°C/W, supporting identical thermal management requirements.

Package and Mechanical Compatibility: Both components use identical 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprints and 1.48mm seated height, enabling direct PCB layout compatibility. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008Z8 features an exposed pad variant of the 2-SMD Gull Wing package, which may provide improved thermal performance in applications requiring enhanced heat dissipation.

Compliance: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008Z8 is RoHS Compliant, meeting modern regulatory requirements. Both components share identical REACH status (REACH Unaffected) and ECCN classification (EAR99).

Circuit Design Consideration: The primary difference is forward voltage (20V vs. 3.3V) and test current (60mA vs. 300mA). Circuit redesign or current-limiting adjustments may be required to accommodate the lower voltage and higher current characteristics of the substitute component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008Z8 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-0008Z8?

A: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008Z8 matches the optical output, color temperature, viewing angle, and physical footprint of the MX6SWT-H1-0000-0008Z8. However, the forward voltage differs significantly (3.3V vs. 20V), and test current is higher (300mA vs. 60mA). PCB layout compatibility is maintained, but circuit design modifications are required to accommodate the different electrical operating parameters.

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

A: Substitution is determined by matching color temperature (2700K), CRI (80), viewing angle (120°), package configuration (2-SMD Gull Wing), physical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm), height (1.48mm), thermal resistance (5°C/W), and moisture sensitivity level (2A, 4 Weeks). Flux output must be equivalent or superior at specified test conditions.

Q: Why does the MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008Z8 have a lower forward voltage and higher test current?

A: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008Z8 belongs to the XLamp® MX-6 series, which uses a different die and junction architecture compared to the MX-6S series. This results in different electrical characteristics while maintaining equivalent optical performance and physical compatibility.

Q: Is the exposed pad on the MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008Z8 package a significant difference?

A: The exposed pad variant provides an additional thermal path to the PCB, potentially improving heat dissipation in applications with high ambient temperatures or continuous operation. This is generally beneficial and does not prevent substitution. PCB layout must accommodate the exposed pad connection.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both components?

A: Both components share REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008Z8 is RoHS Compliant. Both components have identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (2A, 4 Weeks) and thermal resistance specifications.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for selecting the substitute?

A: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0008Z8 is currently in active production with 720 pieces available in stock, compared to 843 pieces of the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-0008Z8. Long-term availability is assured for the active component.
