MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AA6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AA6 is an XLamp® MX-6S warm white LED (3500K) designed for surface mount applications requiring 20V forward voltage operation at 60mA test current. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The part delivers 91 lumens at 25°C with a color rendering index of 80 and 120° viewing angle in a compact 5.00mm x 5.00mm 2-SMD gull wing package.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AA6 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Color and CCT Match: Warm white at 3500K (exact match required)
• Viewing Angle: 120° (exact match required)
• CRI: 80 (exact match required)
• Package Type: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint (exact match required)
• Thermal Resistance: 5°C/W (exact match required)
• Flux Output: 91 lumens at 25°C test conditions (within 87–94 lm specification range)

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AA6 qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical parameters above. However, this substitute operates at significantly different electrical specifications (3.3V forward voltage, 300mA test current, 1A maximum current) compared to the original part (20V, 60mA, 175mA maximum). Circuit design and power supply compatibility must be verified before substitution.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AA6 is the documented substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AA6. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

• Active Product Status: The substitute is currently in active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• Regulatory Compliance: The substitute carries RoHS Compliant certification, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
• Optical and Thermal Equivalence: Both parts deliver identical luminous flux (91 lm), color temperature (3500K), CRI (80), viewing angle (120°), and thermal resistance (5°C/W).
• Physical Compatibility: Identical footprint (5.00mm x 5.00mm) and height (1.48mm) enable direct PCB layout reuse.

Critical Design Consideration: The substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300mA test current, compared to the original 20V/60mA specification. Circuit redesign is required to accommodate the lower voltage and higher current characteristics. Power supply, current limiting, and thermal management must be re-evaluated for the substitute part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AA6 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AA6?

A: Physical and optical compatibility is confirmed (identical footprint, flux, color, CRI, and viewing angle). However, electrical specifications differ significantly (3.3V vs. 20V forward voltage; 300mA vs. 60mA test current). Circuit modifications are required; direct PCB substitution without circuit redesign will result in component failure or malfunction.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is based on matching color/CCT (3500K), viewing angle (120°), CRI (80), package type (2-SMD gull wing), physical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm), thermal resistance (5°C/W), and luminous flux output (91 lm at 25°C). Electrical parameters (voltage and current) are secondary to these optical and mechanical criteria but require circuit redesign.

Q: Is the substitute part RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AA6 is RoHS Compliant. The original MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AA6 RoHS status is not specified in available documentation.

Q: What is the difference between the package designations "2-SMD, Gull Wing" and "2-SMD, Gull Wing Exposed Pad"?

A: Both packages share identical external dimensions and footprint. The exposed pad variant (substitute) includes an additional thermal pad on the package underside for enhanced heat dissipation. This improves thermal performance in high-power applications but does not affect PCB layout compatibility.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: The original MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AA6 packaging format is not specified. The substitute MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AA6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, standard for production volume applications.
