Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BE8 is based on the following critical parameters:

Color and Correlated Color Temperature (CCT): Both the main part and substitute maintain warm white at 2700K, ensuring identical color output.

Viewing Angle: Both parts specify 120° viewing angle, maintaining consistent light distribution characteristics.

Package and Mounting: Both use 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.

Thermal Resistance: Both parts maintain 5°C/W thermal resistance, supporting equivalent thermal management in circuit designs.

CRI (Color Rendering Index): Both parts deliver CRI 80, maintaining color rendering consistency.

The substitute part MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AE8 differs in electrical operating parameters (voltage and current specifications) and product status (Active vs. Obsolete), but maintains functional and mechanical compatibility for warm white LED applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AE8 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BE8. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The substitute part carries Active status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support, whereas the main part is Obsolete.

Compliance: The substitute part is RoHS Compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components in many jurisdictions.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical package dimensions, mounting type, and thermal characteristics ensure direct PCB layout compatibility without redesign.

Optical Consistency: Matching color temperature (2700K), CRI (80), and viewing angle (120°) maintain identical lighting performance characteristics.

Electrical Differences: The substitute operates at significantly lower voltage (3.3V vs. 20V) and higher test current (300mA vs. 60mA). Circuit designs must be adapted to accommodate these electrical parameter changes. The substitute delivers higher efficiency (92 lm/W vs. 81 lm/W) at its specified operating point.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AE8 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BE8?

A: Mechanical and optical compatibility is direct. However, electrical circuit redesign is required due to the significant difference in forward voltage (20V vs. 3.3V) and test current (60mA vs. 300mA). The substitute cannot be used without modifying the power supply and current-limiting circuitry.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm with a maximum seated height of 1.48 mm. PCB footprints and assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: What is the difference between the 2-SMD Gull Wing and 2-SMD Gull Wing Exposed Pad packages?

A: The substitute includes an exposed pad for enhanced thermal dissipation. This improves heat transfer from the LED junction to the PCB, supporting better thermal management in high-power applications.

Q: Does the substitute meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AE8 is RoHS Compliant, whereas RoHS status is not specified for the obsolete main part.

Q: How do the luminous flux values compare?

A: The main part delivers 97 lm at 60mA and 20V. The substitute delivers 91 lm at 300mA and 3.3V. Despite lower absolute flux, the substitute achieves higher efficiency (92 lm/W vs. 81 lm/W) at its operating point.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: The main part is supplied in standard packaging. The substitute is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for high-volume production and automated assembly.
