MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BA5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BA5 is an XLamp® MX-6S warm white LED (3750K) designed for surface mount applications requiring 20V forward voltage and 60mA test current. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The warm white color temperature (3750K) and 120° viewing angle make it suitable for general illumination and accent lighting applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BA5 is determined by the following parameters:

• Color and Color Temperature: Warm white at 3750K (exact match required)
• Viewing Angle: 120° (exact match required)
• Package Type: 2-SMD, Gull Wing surface mount configuration
• Physical Dimensions: 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint and 1.48mm maximum height
• Thermal Resistance: 5°C/W
• CRI: 80 (Color Rendering Index)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 2A (4 Weeks)

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BA5 qualifies as a substitute based on matching color temperature, viewing angle, package footprint, physical dimensions, thermal characteristics, CRI, and MSL rating. However, this substitute operates at significantly different electrical parameters (3.3V forward voltage and 300mA test current versus 20V and 60mA), requiring circuit redesign for direct replacement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BA5 is obsolete and no longer in active production. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BA5 is the available substitute from the same manufacturer, offering identical optical and thermal characteristics (color temperature, CRI, viewing angle, thermal resistance) and matching physical footprint.

The substitute part carries RoHS Compliance certification and is available in standard Tape & Reel packaging, providing supply chain advantages over the obsolete main part. However, the electrical operating parameters differ substantially: the substitute requires 3.3V forward voltage at 300mA test current compared to 20V at 60mA for the main part. This difference necessitates complete circuit redesign, including power supply reconfiguration and current limiting adjustments.

Selection between these parts depends on circuit architecture requirements. If the existing design operates at 20V with 60mA current limiting, the main part specifications cannot be directly replaced without circuit modification. If redesign is feasible, the substitute offers superior efficiency (98 lm/W versus 81 lm/W) and active product status with compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BA5 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BA5?

A: No. While both parts share identical color temperature (3750K), viewing angle (120°), physical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm), and thermal characteristics (5°C/W), they operate at fundamentally different electrical parameters. The main part requires 20V forward voltage with 60mA test current, while the substitute operates at 3.3V with 300mA test current. Direct substitution without circuit redesign will result in component failure or non-operation.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is based on: color temperature (3750K warm white), viewing angle (120°), package type (2-SMD Gull Wing surface mount), physical footprint (5.00mm x 5.00mm), maximum height (1.48mm), thermal resistance (5°C/W), CRI (80), and MSL rating (2A, 4 Weeks). Electrical parameters (forward voltage and test current) are not substitution criteria but determine circuit compatibility.

Q: Why is the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BA5 marked as obsolete?

A: The MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BA5 belongs to the XLamp® MX-6S series, which has been superseded by the XLamp® MX-6 series (represented by the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BA5). Cree has transitioned production to the newer series, making the MX-6S variant obsolete.

Q: What is the difference between the package types listed for these parts?

A: The main part uses a standard 2-SMD Gull Wing package, while the substitute features a 2-SMD Gull Wing Exposed Pad configuration. The exposed pad provides improved thermal dissipation and is standard in current production. Both packages maintain identical footprint and height specifications.

Q: Does the substitute part offer any performance advantages?

A: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BA5 delivers superior luminous efficacy at 98 lm/W compared to 81 lm/W for the main part, representing approximately 21% higher efficiency. Both parts produce identical luminous flux (97lm) at their respective test currents. The substitute also carries RoHS Compliance certification and active product status.
