Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AAA qualifies as a substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Color temperature: Both parts deliver warm white at 2700K
• Luminous flux: Identical specification at 91 lm (87–94 lm range) @ 25°C
• Viewing angle: Both maintain 120° beam angle
• Mounting type: Both are surface mount components
• Package footprint: Both use 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration with 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm dimensions
• Height: Both seated height maximum of 1.48 mm
• Thermal resistance: Both rated at 5°C/W
• CRI: Both maintain CRI of 80
• Moisture sensitivity: Both classified as 2A (4 Weeks)

Differing Parameters: The substitute part operates at significantly different electrical specifications (3.3V forward voltage, 300 mA test current) compared to the main part (20V forward voltage, 60 mA test current). These differences require circuit-level evaluation to ensure compatibility with existing power supply and current-limiting designs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AAA is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AAA based on product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance. The substitute part is currently active and carries RoHS Compliant certification, whereas the main part status is obsolete with unspecified RoHS compliance.

Mechanical and optical compatibility is confirmed: both parts share identical footprint dimensions (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm), height (1.48 mm maximum), thermal resistance (5°C/W), viewing angle (120°), and color rendering index (80). Both maintain the same warm white color temperature (2700K) and luminous flux specification (91 lm at 25°C).

Critical design consideration: The substitute part operates at substantially lower forward voltage (3.3V versus 20V) and higher test current (300 mA versus 60 mA). Existing circuit designs must be re-evaluated to accommodate these electrical differences. The substitute part's improved efficiency (92 lm/W versus 76 lm/W) and higher maximum current rating (1 A versus 175 mA) provide additional design flexibility for applications requiring higher brightness or current capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Mechanical and optical compatibility is confirmed. However, electrical compatibility requires circuit redesign. The substitute part operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300 mA test current, whereas the original part requires 20V and 60 mA. Power supply and current-limiting circuits must be modified accordingly.

Q: Are the package dimensions identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration with 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm footprint and 1.48 mm maximum seated height. PCB layout compatibility is confirmed. The substitute part features an exposed pad variant, which may provide improved thermal performance in applications requiring enhanced heat dissipation.

Q: What is the difference in color temperature and light output between these parts?

A: Both parts deliver identical warm white color temperature (2700K) and luminous flux (91 lm at 25°C test conditions). Color rendering index is identical at 80. No optical performance difference exists between the two parts.

Q: Why is the substitute part more efficient (92 lm/W versus 76 lm/W)?

A: The efficiency difference reflects the advancement from the MX-6S series to the MX-6 series technology. The substitute part achieves higher lumens per watt at its specified test current (300 mA) compared to the original part at its test current (60 mA). This represents generational improvement in LED technology.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences?

A: The substitute part carries RoHS Compliant certification. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status. The substitute part's active product status ensures ongoing availability and support compared to the obsolete original part.

Q: What is the maximum current rating for each part?

A: The original MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AAA is rated for maximum 175 mA. The substitute MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AAA is rated for maximum 1 A. The substitute part supports higher current applications while maintaining the same thermal resistance (5°C/W).
