MX6SWT-H1-0000-0009A5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MX6SWT-H1-0000-0009A5 is an XLamp® MX-6S warm white LED (3750K) designed for surface mount applications requiring 20V forward voltage and 60mA test current. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The warm white color temperature (3750K) and 120° viewing angle are critical functional parameters for replacement consideration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-0009A5 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Color and CCT Match: Both the main part and substitute must maintain warm white color (3750K) to preserve intended application performance and user experience.

Viewing Angle: The 120° viewing angle is a functional requirement that must be maintained in any substitute.

Package Compatibility: Both parts utilize 2-SMD, Gull Wing surface mount packages with identical footprint dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm) and maximum seated height (1.48mm), ensuring PCB-level compatibility.

Thermal Characteristics: Thermal resistance of 5°C/W must be preserved to maintain thermal management performance.

Regulatory Compliance: REACH Unaffected status must be maintained.

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0009A5 qualifies as a substitute based on these parameters, despite differences in forward voltage, test current, and maximum current specifications. These electrical differences require circuit-level evaluation but do not preclude substitution at the component level.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0009A5 is the documented substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-0009A5. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

Product Status: The substitute is classified as Active, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete main part.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute maintains REACH Unaffected status and adds RoHS Compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Functional Equivalence: Both parts deliver identical luminous flux (84lm) and color temperature (3750K) with matching viewing angle (120°), CRI (80), and thermal resistance (5°C/W).

Physical Compatibility: Identical footprint dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm) and maximum seated height (1.48mm) ensure direct PCB-level replacement without layout modifications.

Electrical Differences: The substitute operates at 3.3V typical forward voltage with 300mA test current, compared to 20V and 60mA for the main part. These differences require circuit redesign at the driver or power supply level but do not affect component-level substitution feasibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-0009A5 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-0009A5?

A: At the PCB footprint level, yes. Both parts use identical 2-SMD, Gull Wing packages with 5.00mm x 5.00mm dimensions and 1.48mm maximum seated height. However, the significant difference in forward voltage (3.3V vs. 20V) and test current (300mA vs. 60mA) requires circuit-level evaluation and potential redesign of the LED driver or power supply circuit.

Q: Are the luminous flux and color temperature identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts deliver 84lm (81lm ~ 87lm) at their respective test currents and maintain 3750K warm white color temperature with 80 CRI, ensuring equivalent visual performance.

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

A: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0009A5 includes an exposed pad in its 2-SMD, Gull Wing package, which provides enhanced thermal dissipation compared to the standard Gull Wing package of the main part. Both maintain identical thermal resistance (5°C/W), but the exposed pad offers additional thermal management flexibility.

Q: Does the substitute part meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0009A5 is RoHS Compliant and maintains REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory standards. The main part's regulatory status is not fully specified in available documentation.

Q: What is the maximum current rating difference between these parts?

A: The main part (MX6SWT) has a maximum current rating of 175mA, while the substitute (MX6AWT) is rated for 1A maximum current. This difference reflects the lower forward voltage design of the substitute and does not affect substitution feasibility when proper circuit design is implemented.
