Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BA8 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Criteria:

• Color and CCT: White, Warm 3000K
• Viewing Angle: 120°
• Package Type: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration
• Physical Dimensions: 5.00mm × 5.00mm footprint
• Thermal Resistance: 5°C/W
• CRI: 80
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 2A (4 Weeks)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage - Forward (Vf): May differ based on circuit design requirements
• Current - Test: May differ based on application operating point
• Flux Output: Must remain within acceptable lumen range for application
• Lumens/Watt efficiency: May vary with operating current
• Current - Max: May differ based on thermal and circuit constraints
• Product Status: Active status preferred for long-term availability

The substitute part MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BA8 maintains all mandatory matching criteria while operating at different electrical parameters (3.3V, 300mA test current) suitable for alternative circuit topologies.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Consideration: Product Status

The MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BA8 is classified as obsolete. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BA8 substitute is active status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support from CreeLED, Inc.

Compliance and Certifications

The substitute part MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BA8 carries RoHS Compliant certification, whereas RoHS status is not specified for the main part. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Electrical Parameter Differences

Substitution requires circuit redesign. The main part operates at 20V typical forward voltage with 60mA test current, while the substitute operates at 3.3V with 300mA test current. These differences necessitate modification of current-limiting resistors and power supply voltage levels. The substitute delivers superior efficiency at 98 lm/W compared to 81 lm/W for the main part.

Package Compatibility

Both parts share identical physical footprint (5.00mm × 5.00mm) and height (1.48mm maximum seated height). The substitute features an exposed pad variant of the 2-SMD gull wing package, which may provide improved thermal performance in PCB layouts with thermal vias.

Optical and Thermal Characteristics

Both parts deliver identical flux output (97 lumens at 25°C), CRI (80), and viewing angle (120°). Thermal resistance remains constant at 5°C/W. Moisture sensitivity level is identical at 2A (4 Weeks).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BA8 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BA8?

A: No. While both parts share identical physical dimensions, color, CCT, CRI, and viewing angle, the electrical parameters differ significantly. The substitute requires 3.3V forward voltage versus 20V for the main part. Direct substitution without circuit modification will result in component failure or inadequate operation.

Q: What are the key parameters that must match for substitution?

A: Color (White, Warm 3000K), CCT (3000K), viewing angle (120°), package type (2-SMD gull wing), physical dimensions (5.00mm × 5.00mm), height (1.48mm max), thermal resistance (5°C/W), CRI (80), and moisture sensitivity level (2A, 4 Weeks) must remain constant.

Q: Why does the substitute part have a lower forward voltage?

A: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BA8 belongs to the XLamp® MX-6 series, which uses a different die architecture optimized for lower voltage operation (3.3V) compared to the MX-6S series (20V). This is a fundamental design difference between the two product lines.

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

A: The exposed pad variant (2-SMD, Gull Wing Exposed Pad) provides a thermal connection point to the PCB. This allows improved heat dissipation through thermal vias, potentially enhancing thermal performance in high-power applications compared to the standard gull wing package.

Q: Is the substitute part RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BA8 is RoHS Compliant. RoHS status is not specified for the main part MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BA8.

Q: What is the inventory status of these parts?

A: The main part MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BA8 has 883 pieces in stock (obsolete status). The substitute MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BA8 has 1139 pieces in stock (active status).

Q: How do the efficiency ratings compare?

A: The substitute delivers 98 lm/W at its test current (300mA, 3.3V) compared to 81 lm/W for the main part (60mA, 20V). Both deliver identical flux output (97 lumens) at 25°C, but the substitute achieves higher efficiency per watt consumed.
