Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-H1-0000-0009AA is determined by the following critical parameters:

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
• CRI: 80
• Thermal Resistance: 5°C/W
• MSL Rating: 2A (4 Weeks)

Variable Parameters (Allowable Differences):

• Voltage - Forward (Vf): The substitute operates at 3.3V versus the original 20V
• Current - Test: The substitute operates at 300mA versus the original 60mA
• Lumens/Watt: The substitute achieves 85 lm/W versus the original 70 lm/W
• Current - Max: The substitute supports 1A versus the original 175mA
• Product Status: The substitute is Active versus the original Obsolete
• Packaging Format: The substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) versus the original loose format

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0009AA qualifies as a substitute because it maintains identical color temperature, viewing angle, package footprint, and thermal characteristics while offering improved efficiency and active product availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0009AA is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-0009AA. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The substitute maintains active product status with CreeLED, Inc., ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The original part is classified as obsolete, creating sourcing constraints.

Compliance & Certifications: The substitute is RoHS Compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Electrical & Optical Compatibility: Both parts deliver identical luminous flux (84lm at 25°C) and color rendering index (CRI 80) at their respective test currents. The substitute achieves superior luminous efficacy (85 lm/W versus 70 lm/W), indicating improved energy efficiency.

Mechanical & Thermal Compatibility: Identical footprint (5.00mm x 5.00mm), height (1.48mm maximum), and thermal resistance (5°C/W) ensure direct PCB layout compatibility. The substitute features an exposed pad variant of the 2-SMD Gull Wing package, which may provide enhanced thermal performance in applications requiring improved heat dissipation.

Circuit Design Consideration: The substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300mA test current, compared to the original 20V at 60mA. Circuit redesign is required to accommodate the lower voltage and higher current characteristics. The maximum current rating increases from 175mA to 1A, providing greater operational headroom.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: The parts share identical physical footprint, height, and thermal characteristics, enabling direct PCB placement. However, circuit redesign is mandatory due to the significant difference in forward voltage (3.3V versus 20V) and test current (300mA versus 60mA). Current-limiting resistor values and power supply specifications must be recalculated for the substitute part.

Q: What are the key differences between the XLamp® MX-6S and XLamp® MX-6 series?

A: The MX-6 series (represented by the MX6AWT variant) represents the current generation with improved luminous efficacy (85 lm/W versus 70 lm/W), active product status, and RoHS compliance. The MX-6S series is obsolete. Both maintain identical color temperature (2700K), viewing angle (120°), and CRI (80).

Q: Are there any packaging differences that affect assembly?

A: The original part uses standard 2-SMD Gull Wing packaging, while the substitute features 2-SMD Gull Wing with an exposed pad. The substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format for automated assembly, whereas the original was supplied loose. The exposed pad on the substitute may provide improved thermal management in high-power applications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0009AA is RoHS Compliant and maintains REACH Unaffected status. Both the original and substitute parts carry EAR99 export classification and HTSUS code 8541.41.0000.

Q: How does the luminous flux compare between the two parts?

A: Both parts deliver 84lm (with a range of 81lm to 87lm) at 25°C. The substitute achieves this output at higher current (300mA) with superior efficiency (85 lm/W), while the original achieves the same output at lower current (60mA) with 70 lm/W efficiency.
