MX6SWT-H1-0000-0009A6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MX6SWT-H1-0000-0009A6 is an XLamp® MX-6S warm white LED (3500K) designed for surface mount applications requiring high color rendering and directional light output. This component operates at 20V forward voltage with a test current of 60mA and delivers 84 lumens at 25°C with a 120° viewing angle.

The MX6SWT-H1-0000-0009A6 is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent or substitute components is necessary for ongoing production, maintenance, and new design implementations where this specific model is no longer readily available from primary sources.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-H1-0000-0009A6 is evaluated based on the following critical parameters:

• Color and Correlated Color Temperature (CCT): Both the main part and substitute must deliver white light at 3500K (warm white) to maintain color consistency in the application.
• Luminous Flux: The substitute must deliver equivalent light output (84 lm nominal at 25°C) to preserve brightness performance.
• Color Rendering Index (CRI): A CRI of 80 is required to maintain color accuracy in the application.
• Viewing Angle: The 120° viewing angle must be preserved for consistent light distribution.
• Package and Mounting: Surface mount 2-SMD configuration with gull wing leads ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing PCB layouts.
• Physical Dimensions: The 5.00mm × 5.00mm footprint and 1.48mm maximum seated height must be maintained for board-level fit.

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0009A6 qualifies as a substitute based on matching color, CCT, CRI, viewing angle, package type, and physical dimensions. However, significant differences in electrical parameters (forward voltage and test current) require circuit-level evaluation.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0009A6 is an active product with documented RoHS compliance, making it suitable for new designs and long-term supply chain stability. The MX6SWT-H1-0000-0009A6 is obsolete and should be replaced in production environments.

Substitution requires circuit redesign. The MX6AWT operates at 3.3V typical forward voltage with a 300mA test current, compared to the MX6SWT's 20V and 60mA specifications. This represents a fundamental shift in power delivery architecture. The substitute achieves higher efficiency (85 lm/W versus 70 lm/W) and supports higher maximum current (1A versus 175mA), but the electrical interface is incompatible without driver circuit modification.

Both components share identical optical characteristics (color, CCT, CRI, viewing angle, flux output) and physical footprint, ensuring optical and mechanical compatibility. The exposed pad on the MX6AWT variant provides improved thermal management compared to the standard gull wing package.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-0009A6 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-0009A6?

A: No. While both components are mechanically and optically compatible, the electrical parameters differ significantly. The MX6AWT requires a 3.3V power supply and supports 300mA test current, whereas the MX6SWT requires 20V and operates at 60mA. Circuit redesign is necessary.

Q: Are the physical footprints identical?

A: Yes. Both components measure 5.00mm × 5.00mm with a maximum seated height of 1.48mm. PCB layout compatibility is maintained. The MX6AWT includes an exposed pad for enhanced thermal dissipation.

Q: Do both parts produce the same light output?

A: Yes. Both deliver 84 lumens at 25°C with identical color temperature (3500K), color rendering index (80), and viewing angle (120°).

Q: What is the difference between the MX-6S and MX-6 series?

A: The MX-6S (MX6SWT) operates at higher voltage (20V) with lower current (60mA). The MX-6 (MX6AWT) operates at lower voltage (3.3V) with higher current (300mA). Both deliver equivalent optical performance but require different power delivery architectures.

Q: Is the MX6AWT-H1-0000-0009A6 suitable for new product designs?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT is an active product with RoHS compliance, making it appropriate for new designs requiring warm white 3500K LEDs with 120° viewing angle and 84 lumen output.

Q: What does the exposed pad on the MX6AWT provide?

A: The exposed pad improves thermal coupling to the PCB, reducing junction temperature and extending component life under sustained operation.
