Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AE8 qualifies as a functional equivalent based on the following criteria:

Matching Parameters:

Color and CCT: Both deliver warm white light at 2700K
Luminous flux @ 25°C: Identical specification of 91 lm (87–94 lm range)
CRI: Both maintain CRI of 80
Viewing angle: Both provide 120° beam angle
Package form factor: Both use 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration
Physical dimensions: Identical 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm footprint
Height: Identical 1.48 mm seated height
Thermal resistance: Identical 5°C/W rating
Mounting type: Both are surface mount components

Differing Parameters:

Voltage - Forward (Typ): MX6SWT operates at 20V; MX6AWT operates at 3.3V
Current - Test: MX6SWT at 60 mA; MX6AWT at 300 mA
Lumens/Watt: MX6SWT at 76 lm/W; MX6AWT at 92 lm/W
Current - Max: MX6SWT rated to 175 mA; MX6AWT rated to 1A
Product status: MX6SWT is obsolete; MX6AWT is active
Packaging: MX6SWT is loose; MX6AWT is supplied in Tape & Reel
RoHS compliance: MX6AWT is RoHS compliant

Substitution is valid when the application circuit can accommodate the different forward voltage and current characteristics of the MX6AWT series.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AE8 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AE8. Selection of the MX6AWT requires circuit redesign to accommodate its lower forward voltage (3.3V vs. 20V) and higher test current (300 mA vs. 60 mA). The MX6AWT offers superior luminous efficiency (92 lm/W vs. 76 lm/W) and is actively manufactured with RoHS compliance certification, ensuring long-term supply availability and regulatory alignment. Both components maintain identical optical output (91 lm at 2700K with CRI 80), viewing angle (120°), and physical footprint, supporting direct mechanical compatibility in PCB layouts. The exposed pad configuration on the MX6AWT provides enhanced thermal management compared to the standard gull wing package of the MX6SWT.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AE8 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AE8?

A: Mechanical compatibility is direct—both components share identical 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm footprints and 1.48 mm heights. Electrical compatibility requires circuit modification. The MX6AWT operates at 3.3V with 300 mA test current, while the MX6SWT operates at 20V with 60 mA test current. Driver and current-limiting circuitry must be redesigned accordingly.

Q: Are the optical characteristics identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both components deliver 91 lm (87–94 lm range) at 2700K color temperature with CRI 80 and 120° viewing angle. Optical output and color rendering are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the exposed pad on the MX6AWT?

A: The exposed pad on the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AE8 (2-SMD, Gull Wing Exposed Pad) provides direct thermal contact to the PCB, improving heat dissipation compared to the standard gull wing package of the MX6SWT. Both maintain identical 5°C/W thermal resistance ratings.

Q: Why is the MX6SWT classified as obsolete?

A: The MX6SWT belongs to the XLamp® MX-6S series, which has been superseded by the active XLamp® MX-6 series. The MX6AWT represents the current production equivalent with improved efficiency and regulatory compliance.

Q: Is the MX6AWT RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AE8 is RoHS compliant. RoHS status for the MX6SWT is not specified in available documentation.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these parts?

A: The MX6SWT is supplied as loose components. The MX6AWT is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, standard for high-volume production applications.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity levels the same?

A: Yes. Both components are rated MSL 2A (4 Weeks), requiring identical storage and handling protocols.
