MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AE6 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 delivers 91 lumens at 25°C with a color rendering index of 80 and a 120° viewing angle. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing production and design continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AE6 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Color and correlated color temperature (CCT): White, Warm 3500K
• Flux output at 25°C: 91 lm (87–94 lm range)
• Color rendering index (CRI): 80
• Viewing angle: 120°
• Package type: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration
• Physical dimensions: 5.00mm × 5.00mm footprint, 1.48mm max height
• Thermal resistance: 5°C/W
• Moisture sensitivity level: 2A (4 Weeks)

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AE6 qualifies as a substitute based on matching color specification (3500K warm white), identical flux output (91 lm at 25°C), matching CRI (80), identical viewing angle (120°), compatible package footprint and height, and equivalent thermal and moisture characteristics. However, this substitute operates at significantly different electrical parameters (3.3V forward voltage, 300mA test current) compared to the main part (20V, 60mA), requiring circuit redesign for voltage and current regulation.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AE6 is the documented substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AE6. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

• Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• RoHS compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements
• Identical optical performance (91 lm, 3500K, 80 CRI, 120° viewing angle)
• Compatible mechanical footprint and thermal characteristics
• Equivalent moisture sensitivity classification

Substitution requires modification of the power supply and current regulation circuit due to the change from 20V/60mA to 3.3V/300mA operation. The substitute's higher efficiency (92 lm/W vs. 76 lm/W) and higher maximum current rating (1A vs. 175mA) must be accommodated in the driver design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AE6 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AE6?

A: No. While both parts share identical optical specifications (color, flux, CRI, viewing angle) and mechanical dimensions, they operate at fundamentally different electrical parameters. The MX6SWT requires 20V at 60mA, while the MX6AWT requires 3.3V at 300mA. Circuit redesign is necessary.

Q: Are the package footprints identical?

A: The footprints are compatible (both 5.00mm × 5.00mm, 1.48mm height). However, the MX6AWT includes an exposed pad, while the MX6SWT does not. PCB layout may require minor adjustment for thermal management of the exposed pad.

Q: What is the impact of the different forward voltages?

A: The MX6SWT operates at 20V typical forward voltage, while the MX6AWT operates at 3.3V. This requires a different power supply architecture and current regulation approach. The MX6AWT's lower voltage is more compatible with modern low-voltage LED driver topologies.

Q: Does the substitute meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts share REACH Unaffected status. The MX6AWT additionally carries RoHS Compliance certification, which the MX6SWT specification does not explicitly state. Both carry ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8541.41.0000 classifications.

Q: What is the thermal performance difference?

A: Both parts have identical thermal resistance (5°C/W). The MX6AWT's exposed pad provides enhanced thermal coupling to the PCB, potentially improving heat dissipation in applications with adequate thermal design.
