Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AF7 is based on the following critical parameters that must align for functional equivalence:

Color and Correlated Color Temperature (CCT): Both the main part and substitute must maintain 3200K warm white specification to preserve color consistency in lighting applications.

Viewing Angle: The 120° viewing angle is a fixed optical characteristic that must be preserved across substitutes.

Package and Mounting: Both parts utilize 2-SMD, Gull Wing surface mount packages with identical physical dimensions (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm) and maximum seated height (1.48 mm), ensuring PCB compatibility and assembly process alignment.

Thermal Characteristics: The 5°C/W thermal resistance specification must be maintained to ensure thermal management equivalence.

Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 2A classification must be preserved for storage and handling protocol consistency.

The substitute part MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AF7 belongs to the XLamp® MX-6 series (active product status) and shares the above critical parameters. However, this substitute operates at significantly different electrical specifications: 3.3V forward voltage and 300 mA test current versus the original 20V and 60 mA. This electrical difference requires circuit redesign and is not a direct pin-compatible replacement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AF7 is the documented substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000AF7. Selection of this substitute requires the following engineering considerations:

Product Status: The substitute part maintains active product status with CreeLED, Inc., ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support compared to the obsolete main part.

Compliance: The substitute carries RoHS Compliant certification, whereas RoHS status is not specified for the main part. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status.

Electrical Redesign Requirement: The substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300 mA test current, compared to the main part's 20V and 60 mA specifications. This represents a fundamental electrical difference requiring circuit redesign, including power supply modification and current limiting adjustments.

Optical and Thermal Equivalence: Both parts deliver identical luminous flux (91 lm at 25°C), color temperature (3200K), CRI (80), and viewing angle (120°). Thermal resistance remains equivalent at 5°C/W.

Efficiency Improvement: The substitute demonstrates improved luminous efficacy at 92 lm/W compared to 76 lm/W for the main part, resulting in enhanced energy efficiency at the substitute's specified test current.

Package Compatibility: Physical dimensions and mounting footprint are identical. The substitute features an exposed pad variant of the 2-SMD Gull Wing package, which may provide improved thermal performance in applications requiring enhanced heat dissipation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AF7 be used as a direct replacement without circuit modification?

A: No. The substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage versus the original 20V specification. Direct substitution without circuit redesign will result in component failure or inadequate performance. Power supply and current limiting circuits must be redesigned to accommodate the lower voltage and higher current requirements.

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

A: Yes. Both parts share identical footprint dimensions (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm) and maximum seated height (1.48 mm), enabling PCB layout compatibility. The substitute features an exposed pad variant, which is a package enhancement that does not affect mounting compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the exposed pad in the substitute part?

A: The exposed pad in the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AF7 provides an additional thermal path for heat dissipation. This enhancement supports improved thermal management in applications requiring higher current operation (300 mA test current versus 60 mA for the main part).

Q: Do both parts maintain equivalent color rendering characteristics?

A: Yes. Both parts are specified at 3200K warm white with CRI 80, ensuring color consistency in lighting applications. Luminous flux output is identical at 91 lm measured at 25°C.

Q: What are the storage and handling requirements for the substitute part?

A: The substitute maintains MSL 2A classification, requiring storage at controlled humidity (≤60% RH) with a shelf life of 4 weeks from bag opening. This specification is identical to the main part.

Q: Is the substitute part RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AF7 is RoHS Compliant. RoHS status is not specified for the obsolete main part. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status.
