MX6SWT-H1-0000-0009F8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MX6SWT-H1-0000-0009F8 is an XLamp® MX-6S warm white LED (2900K) designed for surface mount applications requiring 20V forward voltage at 60mA test current. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent or substitute parts necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The MX-6S series has been superseded by the MX-6 series, which maintains similar optical and thermal characteristics while offering improved electrical efficiency and active product status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-H1-0000-0009F8 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Optical Compatibility: Color (White, Warm) and CCT (2900K) must remain identical. Viewing angle (120°) and CRI (80) establish the photometric baseline.

Thermal Compatibility: Package thermal resistance (5°C/W) and physical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm, 1.48mm max height) must be maintained to ensure thermal performance and PCB layout compatibility.

Mechanical Compatibility: Surface mount package type (2-SMD, Gull Wing) and MSL rating (2A, 4 Weeks) must be preserved for assembly and storage requirements.

Electrical Compatibility: While forward voltage and test current differ between the main part and substitute, the substitute must operate within the same application voltage range and support equivalent or superior lumen output at comparable efficiency.

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0009F8 qualifies as a substitute because it maintains identical color temperature, CRI, viewing angle, thermal resistance, physical dimensions, MSL rating, and mounting type. The electrical differences (3.3V Vf, 300mA test current) reflect the MX-6 series design evolution and do not preclude substitution in applications where the power supply can be adapted.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0009F8 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-0009F8. Selection is based on the following factors:

Product Status: The substitute is active, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete main part.

Compliance: The substitute carries RoHS Compliant certification, providing enhanced environmental and regulatory compliance. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected and EAR99 ECCN status.

Optical Performance: Identical color temperature (2900K), CRI (80), and viewing angle (120°) ensure equivalent photometric performance in warm white lighting applications.

Thermal and Mechanical Compatibility: Matching thermal resistance (5°C/W), physical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm), and height (1.48mm) preserve thermal management and PCB layout compatibility.

Electrical Adaptation: The substitute operates at 3.3V with 300mA test current, compared to 20V and 60mA for the main part. Circuit design must accommodate this voltage and current difference. The substitute delivers superior efficiency (85 lm/W vs. 70 lm/W) and higher maximum current rating (1A vs. 175mA).

Packaging: The substitute is available in Tape & Reel format, supporting automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-0009F8 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-0009F8?

A: Physical and thermal compatibility is direct. Electrical compatibility requires circuit modification. The substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage instead of 20V, necessitating power supply and current-limiting circuit redesign. Optical performance (color, CRI, viewing angle) is identical.

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

A: The MX-6 series (represented by MX6AWT) represents an evolution of the MX-6S series (MX6SWT). Both maintain identical optical characteristics and thermal resistance. The MX-6 operates at lower forward voltage (3.3V vs. 20V) with higher test current (300mA vs. 60mA) and improved efficiency (85 lm/W vs. 70 lm/W). The MX-6 series is active, while MX-6S is obsolete.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 5.00mm x 5.00mm with a maximum seated height of 1.48mm. PCB footprints and assembly processes remain compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the exposed pad in the MX6AWT package?

A: The exposed pad in the 2-SMD, Gull Wing Exposed Pad package improves thermal dissipation by providing direct thermal contact to the PCB. This enhances heat transfer compared to packages without exposed pads, supporting higher current operation.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL 2A (4 Weeks) rating, requiring identical storage and handling procedures.

Q: Is the substitute RoHS compliant?

A: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-0009F8 substitute is RoHS Compliant. RoHS status for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-0009F8 is not specified in the provided data.
