Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AA8 is based on the following criteria:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Color and CCT: White, Warm 3000K (identical)
• Flux output: 91 lm nominal at 25°C (identical specification)
• Viewing angle: 120° (identical)
• Package footprint: 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm (identical)
• Height - Seated: 1.48 mm maximum (identical)
• CRI: 80 (identical)
• Thermal resistance: 5°C/W (identical)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount (identical)
• MSL rating: 2A (4 Weeks) (identical)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage - Forward (Vf): Different voltage ratings are acceptable when circuit design accommodates the change
• Current - Test: Different test currents are acceptable when circuit design accommodates the change
• Lumens/Watt efficiency: Improved efficiency is acceptable
• Product status: Active status preferred over obsolete for long-term availability

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AA8 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical optical, mechanical, and thermal characteristics, with the primary difference being the electrical operating point (3.3V / 300mA vs. 20V / 60mA) and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AA8 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AA8 based on the following factors:

Product Status: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AA8 maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AA8.

Optical and Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts deliver identical luminous flux (91 lm at 25°C), color temperature (3000K), CRI (80), viewing angle (120°), and physical footprint (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm, 1.48 mm height). These parameters ensure direct optical and mechanical interchangeability in PCB layouts and optical systems.

Thermal Characteristics: Identical thermal resistance (5°C/W) ensures equivalent thermal performance in thermal management designs.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts carry REACH Unaffected and EAR99 ECCN classifications. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AA8 additionally carries RoHS Compliant certification, providing enhanced compliance documentation for regulated applications.

Electrical Operating Point: The primary design consideration is the shift from 20V / 60mA (MX6SWT) to 3.3V / 300mA (MX6AWT). Circuit redesign is required to accommodate this change. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AA8 offers improved efficiency (92 lm/W vs. 76 lm/W), resulting in lower power dissipation at equivalent light output.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AA8 be used as a direct drop-in replacement without circuit modification?

A: No. While the optical, mechanical, and thermal characteristics are identical, the electrical operating point differs significantly (3.3V / 300mA vs. 20V / 60mA). Circuit redesign is required to accommodate the new voltage and current specifications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions and PCB footprints identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm footprint, 1.48 mm seated height), allowing for identical PCB layout and mechanical assembly without modification.

Q: What is the difference between the 2-SMD Gull Wing and 2-SMD Gull Wing Exposed Pad packages?

A: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AA8 includes an exposed pad for enhanced thermal management. This provides improved heat dissipation compared to the standard gull wing package of the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AA8, though both maintain identical thermal resistance specifications (5°C/W).

Q: Is the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AA8 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AA8 is RoHS Compliant, providing enhanced regulatory documentation for applications requiring RoHS certification.

Q: What is the impact of the efficiency improvement (92 lm/W vs. 76 lm/W)?

A: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AA8 delivers the same luminous output (91 lm) with lower power dissipation. At the test current of 300mA and 3.3V forward voltage, this results in reduced thermal load and improved system efficiency compared to the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AA8 operating at 60mA and 20V.

Q: Are both parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AA8 is specified with Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. The MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AA8 packaging format is not specified in the provided data.

Q: What is the MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) rating for both parts?

A: Both parts carry an MSL rating of 2A (4 Weeks), indicating identical moisture sensitivity and storage requirements.
