Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-0009A9 is based on the following critical parameters that must align for functional equivalence:

Color and Correlated Color Temperature (CCT): Both the main part and substitute must maintain warm white at 2850K to preserve color consistency in lighting applications.

Viewing Angle: The 120° viewing angle is a fixed optical characteristic that must be preserved.

Package and Mounting Type: Both parts use 2-SMD, Gull Wing surface mount packaging with identical footprint dimensions (5.00mm × 5.00mm) and height (1.48mm), ensuring mechanical compatibility on existing PCBs.

Thermal Resistance: Both parts maintain 5°C/W thermal resistance, supporting equivalent thermal management in circuit designs.

Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both parts are rated 2A (4 Weeks), requiring identical handling and storage protocols.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification.

The substitute part MX6AWT-H1-0000-0009A9 meets these core substitution criteria. However, the substitute operates at significantly different electrical parameters: 3.3V forward voltage and 300mA test current versus the main part's 20V and 60mA. This electrical difference requires circuit redesign and is not a direct pin-compatible replacement without modification to power supply and current-limiting circuitry.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0009A9 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-0009A9 based on matching color temperature, viewing angle, package footprint, and thermal characteristics. Both parts are manufactured by CreeLED, Inc. and maintain identical moisture sensitivity and regulatory compliance profiles.

The substitute part carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete main part.

The substitute part is RoHS Compliant, providing enhanced environmental and regulatory alignment for new designs and applications subject to RoHS requirements.

Critical consideration: The substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage and 300mA test current, compared to the main part's 20V and 60mA. This represents a fundamental electrical difference requiring complete redesign of power supply and current-limiting circuitry. The substitute cannot be used as a direct drop-in replacement without circuit modification. Applications must be re-engineered to accommodate the lower voltage and higher current operating point of the MX6AWT-H1-0000-0009A9.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-0009A9 be used as a direct replacement in existing circuits designed for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-0009A9?

A: No. While both parts share identical color temperature, viewing angle, and package footprint, they operate at fundamentally different electrical parameters. The substitute requires 3.3V forward voltage versus 20V for the main part, and draws 300mA test current versus 60mA. Existing power supply and current-limiting circuitry must be redesigned.

Q: Are the physical dimensions and mounting characteristics identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use 5.00mm × 5.00mm footprints with 1.48mm seated height and 2-SMD, Gull Wing surface mount packaging. PCB layout and reflow profiles remain compatible. The substitute features an exposed pad variant, which may provide improved thermal performance in high-power applications.

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

A: The MX-6S series (main part) operates at higher forward voltage (20V) with lower test current (60mA). The MX-6 series (substitute) operates at lower forward voltage (3.3V) with higher test current (300mA). Both deliver equivalent luminous flux at their respective test currents. Series selection depends on circuit voltage architecture and current-handling capability.

Q: Does the substitute part offer any performance advantages?

A: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0009A9 achieves 85 lm/W efficiency versus 70 lm/W for the main part at their respective test currents, representing improved luminous efficacy. The substitute also carries Active product status and RoHS Compliance, supporting long-term supply availability and regulatory alignment.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity and handling requirements the same?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated 2A (4 Weeks) moisture sensitivity level, requiring identical storage conditions, handling protocols, and reflow procedures.

Q: What regulatory certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification. The substitute additionally carries RoHS Compliance certification.
