Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AB8 is identified as a substitute for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AB8 based on the following substitution criteria:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Identical mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Identical package configuration (2-SMD, Gull Wing)
• Identical physical dimensions (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm)
• Identical maximum seated height (1.48 mm)
• Identical thermal resistance (5°C/W)

Optical Compatibility:

• Identical color (White)
• Identical viewing angle (120°)
• Identical luminous flux output at test conditions (91 lm, 87–94 lm range)

Environmental & Compliance Compatibility:

• Identical moisture sensitivity level (2A, 4 Weeks)
• Identical REACH status (REACH Unaffected)
• Identical ECCN classification (EAR99)
• Identical HTSUS code (8541.41.0000)

Key Difference: The substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage with a 300mA test current, compared to the main part's 20V/60mA specification. This represents a different electrical operating point within the same product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AB8 is classified as Active, whereas the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AB8 is Obsolete. For new designs or ongoing procurement, the active substitute provides assured long-term availability and supply chain stability.

Compliance & Certification: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AB8 carries RoHS Compliant certification, providing additional environmental compliance assurance. Both parts maintain identical REACH Unaffected and EAR99 classifications, ensuring regulatory consistency.

Electrical Operating Point: Selection between these parts depends on circuit design requirements. The MX6SWT operates at 20V/60mA, while the MX6AWT operates at 3.3V/300mA. Circuit topology, power supply architecture, and current-limiting design must accommodate the selected operating point.

Mechanical & Optical Equivalence: Both parts share identical physical dimensions, thermal characteristics, and optical output (91 lumens at test conditions). PCB layout and thermal management designs are directly transferable between parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AB8 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AB8?

A: Mechanical and optical compatibility is confirmed. However, the electrical operating point differs significantly (20V/60mA versus 3.3V/300mA). Circuit redesign is required to accommodate the different voltage and current specifications. PCB footprint and thermal design remain compatible.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are voltage rating (20V vs. 3.3V), test current (60mA vs. 300mA), and product status (Obsolete vs. Active). Luminous flux output, viewing angle, physical dimensions, and thermal characteristics are identical. The MX6AWT offers improved efficiency (92 lm/W vs. 76 lm/W) and RoHS compliance.

Q: Why is the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AB8 marked as Obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AB8 represents the active continuation within the XLamp® MX series family, offering equivalent optical performance with improved electrical efficiency and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are the package configurations identical?

A: Both parts use 2-SMD, Gull Wing surface mount packages with identical 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm dimensions and 1.48 mm maximum seated height. The MX6AWT includes an exposed pad variant. PCB layout compatibility is confirmed for both parts.

Q: What is the impact of the different current ratings on circuit design?

A: The MX6SWT requires a 20V power supply with current limiting to 60mA maximum. The MX6AWT requires a 3.3V power supply with current limiting to 300mA maximum. Power dissipation differs (1.2W vs. 0.99W at test conditions), affecting thermal management and power supply selection.

Q: Is the CRI specification available for the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AB8?

A: CRI data is not provided in the available specifications for the MX6AWT. The MX6SWT specifies CRI 80. Contact the manufacturer for complete CRI information if this parameter is critical for your application.
