Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AE5 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Optical Compatibility: Color temperature (4000K neutral white) and CRI (80) must match to maintain color consistency in lighting applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package type (2-SMD, Gull Wing), footprint dimensions (5.00mm × 5.00mm), and maximum seated height (1.48mm) must be identical to ensure PCB assembly compatibility without design modifications.

Thermal Compatibility: Thermal resistance (5°C/W) ensures equivalent heat dissipation performance in the application environment.

Electrical Compatibility: While forward voltage and test current differ between the main part and substitute, the substitute must deliver equivalent luminous flux (91 lm nominal) at its specified operating point to maintain system brightness performance.

Viewing Angle: 120° viewing angle must be maintained for consistent light distribution characteristics.

The identified substitute, MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AE5, shares identical optical, mechanical, and thermal specifications while operating at different electrical parameters (3.3V, 300mA test current) but delivering the same nominal flux output.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AE5 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AE5. Both components are manufactured by CreeLED and share identical optical output (91 lm at 4000K, CRI 80), mechanical footprint (5.00mm × 5.00mm, 2-SMD Gull Wing), and thermal characteristics (5°C/W).

The primary difference is electrical: the substitute operates at 3.3V with 300mA test current versus the main part's 20V at 60mA. This requires circuit redesign to accommodate the lower voltage and higher current operating point. The substitute achieves superior efficiency (92 lm/W versus 76 lm/W), providing improved power performance in the application.

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AE5 holds Active product status and RoHS Compliant certification, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory compliance for new designs and production continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AE5 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AE5?

A: No. While both components share identical optical output, mechanical footprint, and thermal resistance, the substitute operates at significantly different electrical parameters (3.3V/300mA versus 20V/60mA). Circuit modifications are required to accommodate the lower voltage and higher current requirements.

Q: Are the package dimensions identical between the main part and substitute?

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

Q: What is the impact of the different electrical operating points on system design?

A: The substitute's lower forward voltage (3.3V) and higher test current (300mA) require redesign of the LED driver circuit and current-limiting resistor network. Power dissipation calculations must be recalculated based on the new operating point. The substitute's higher efficiency (92 lm/W) may reduce overall system power consumption despite the higher operating current.

Q: Is the substitute suitable for production use?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AE5 holds Active product status and RoHS Compliant certification, confirming long-term manufacturing availability and regulatory compliance for new production designs.

Q: Are there any thermal or reliability differences between the two components?

A: Both components share identical thermal resistance (5°C/W) and moisture sensitivity level (2A, 4 Weeks). Thermal and reliability performance are equivalent when operated within their respective electrical specifications.
