Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BB3 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility: Package type (2-SMD, Gull Wing), physical dimensions (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm), and maximum seated height (1.48 mm) must match to ensure PCB layout compatibility and assembly process alignment.

Optical Characteristics: Viewing angle (120°) and color (White) define the light distribution and spectral output required for the application.

Electrical Operating Range: Forward voltage, test current, and maximum current ratings establish the power supply requirements and circuit design constraints. Substitutes must operate within compatible voltage and current specifications.

Thermal and Environmental Properties: Thermal resistance (5°C/W) and moisture sensitivity level (2A) ensure thermal management and storage condition compatibility.

Regulatory Compliance: REACH status and ECCN classification must align with supply chain and export requirements.

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BB3 qualifies as a substitute based on matching mechanical package, optical viewing angle, physical dimensions, thermal resistance, and regulatory compliance. However, electrical parameters differ significantly: the MX6AWT operates at 3.3V with 300mA test current versus the MX6SWT's 20V at 60mA, requiring circuit redesign for direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BB3 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BB3. Both components are manufactured by CreeLED, Inc., and share identical mechanical dimensions, thermal characteristics, and viewing angle specifications.

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BB3 holds Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. It carries RoHS Compliant certification, providing enhanced environmental compliance compared to the main part specification.

Direct electrical substitution requires circuit modification due to the voltage and current rating differences: the MX6AWT operates at 3.3V with 300mA test current, while the MX6SWT requires 20V at 60mA. Power supply design, current limiting resistors, and thermal management calculations must be recalculated for the substitute component.

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BB3 delivers superior luminous efficiency (98 lm/W versus 81 lm/W), offering potential power consumption reduction in redesigned applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BB3 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BB3?

A: No. While both components share identical mechanical package dimensions and thermal properties, the electrical specifications differ fundamentally. The MX6AWT operates at 3.3V with 300mA test current, whereas the MX6SWT requires 20V at 60mA. Circuit redesign is necessary, including power supply modification and current limiting adjustments.

Q: Are the physical packages identical?

A: Both components use 2-SMD gull wing packages with 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm footprints and 1.48 mm maximum seated height. The MX6AWT includes an exposed pad variant, which may provide improved thermal performance in specific PCB layouts. PCB artwork compatibility should be verified for the exposed pad configuration.

Q: What is the difference in luminous output between these parts?

A: Both components deliver 97 lumens at their respective test currents (60mA for MX6SWT, 300mA for MX6AWT). The MX6AWT achieves higher luminous efficiency at 98 lm/W compared to the MX6SWT at 81 lm/W.

Q: Why is the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BB3 listed as Obsolete?

A: The MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BB3 has reached end-of-life status. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BB3 represents the active product line continuation from CreeLED, Inc., for white XLamp® LED applications in this package category.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BB3 carries RoHS Compliant certification. Both components maintain REACH Unaffected status and identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications.

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

A: The exposed pad on the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BB3 provides direct thermal contact to the PCB, enabling improved heat dissipation. PCB design must accommodate this feature with appropriate thermal vias and copper area for optimal thermal performance.
