MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BA6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BA6 is an XLamp® MX-6S warm white LED (3500K) designed for surface mount applications. This part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing production and maintenance requirements. The XLamp® MX-6S series has been superseded by newer generations within the XLamp® product line, necessitating equivalent part identification for design continuity and component availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BA6 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Color and CCT: Warm white at 3500K (must match for color consistency)
• Viewing Angle: 120° (optical performance requirement)
• CRI: 80 (color rendering specification)
• Package Type: 2-SMD, Gull Wing (mechanical and electrical interface)
• Physical Dimensions: 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm footprint with 1.48 mm max height (PCB layout compatibility)
• Thermal Resistance: 5°C/W (thermal management equivalence)
• Moisture Sensitivity: 2A classification (handling and storage requirements)

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BA6 qualifies as a substitute based on matching color temperature, viewing angle, CRI, package footprint, physical dimensions, thermal resistance, and moisture sensitivity classification. However, this substitute operates at significantly different electrical parameters (3.3V forward voltage and 300 mA test current versus 20V and 60 mA), requiring circuit design verification before implementation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BA6 is the identified substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BA6. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

• Product Status: The substitute is active and currently available, addressing the obsolescence of the main part.
• Compliance: The substitute carries RoHS Compliant certification, providing regulatory advantage over the main part specification.
• Optical Equivalence: Identical color temperature (3500K), CRI (80), and viewing angle (120°) ensure optical performance parity.
• Mechanical Compatibility: Matching footprint (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm) and height (1.48 mm) allow direct PCB layout reuse.
• Thermal Characteristics: Equivalent thermal resistance (5°C/W) maintains thermal management design parameters.

Critical Design Consideration: The substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300 mA test current, compared to the main part's 20V and 60 mA. Circuit redesign is required to accommodate these electrical differences. The substitute's higher efficiency (98 lm/W versus 81 lm/W) and increased maximum current rating (1 A versus 175 mA) provide operational flexibility within appropriately designed drive circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BA6 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BA6?

A: No. While the parts share identical optical properties, footprint, and thermal characteristics, the forward voltage and test current differ significantly (3.3V/300 mA versus 20V/60 mA). The LED driver circuit must be redesigned to accommodate these electrical parameters.

Q: What are the key parameters that make these parts substitutable?

A: Substitutability is based on matching color temperature (3500K), CRI (80), viewing angle (120°), package type (2-SMD, Gull Wing), physical dimensions (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm), height (1.48 mm), thermal resistance (5°C/W), and moisture sensitivity classification (2A).

Q: Does the substitute offer any advantages over the main part?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BA6 is active (not obsolete), RoHS Compliant, and provides higher luminous efficacy (98 lm/W versus 81 lm/W). These factors support long-term design continuity and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there package differences between these parts?

A: The main part uses standard 2-SMD Gull Wing packaging. The substitute uses 2-SMD Gull Wing with an exposed pad, which improves thermal performance. Both maintain identical footprint and height specifications.

Q: What is the impact of the different current ratings?

A: The substitute's maximum current rating (1 A) is significantly higher than the main part (175 mA). This allows operation at higher drive currents within the LED's absolute maximum ratings, providing design flexibility for brightness and thermal management optimization.
