MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BF6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BF6 is an XLamp® MX-6S warm white LED (3700K) designed for surface mount applications requiring high color rendering and efficient light output. This part operates at 20V forward voltage with a 60mA test current, delivering 97 lumens at 25°C with 81 lm/W efficiency and an 80 CRI rating.

The MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BF6 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production requirements for applications currently using this component.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BF6 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Color and CCT: Both parts must deliver white light at 3700K (warm white)
• Flux Output: Luminous flux at 25°C must remain within the 94–100 lm specification range
• CRI: Color rendering index must be 80 or higher
• Viewing Angle: 120° beam angle is maintained across all candidates
• Package Footprint: 5.00mm × 5.00mm 2-SMD form factor with gull wing leads
• Thermal Characteristics: 5°C/W thermal resistance package
• Mounting Type: Surface mount compatibility
• MSL Rating: 2A moisture sensitivity level

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BF6 qualifies as a substitute based on matching color temperature, flux output, CRI, viewing angle, package dimensions, thermal resistance, and MSL rating. However, this substitute operates at significantly different electrical parameters (3.3V forward voltage, 300mA test current, 1A maximum current) compared to the original part, requiring circuit redesign and validation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BF6 is the identified substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BF6. Both parts are manufactured by CreeLED, Inc., and share identical optical and thermal characteristics (3700K color temperature, 97 lm flux output, 80 CRI, 120° viewing angle, 5°C/W thermal resistance, and 2A MSL rating).

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BF6 offers the advantage of active product status and RoHS compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. However, the substitute operates at substantially different electrical parameters: 3.3V forward voltage (versus 20V), 300mA test current (versus 60mA), and 1A maximum current (versus 175mA). These differences require complete redesign of the LED driver circuit and power supply architecture.

The substitute delivers superior luminous efficiency at 98 lm/W compared to 81 lm/W for the original part, resulting in lower power consumption for equivalent light output.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BF6 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BF6?

A: No. While both parts deliver identical optical output (97 lm at 3700K with 80 CRI), they operate at fundamentally different electrical specifications. The original part requires 20V forward voltage at 60mA, while the substitute operates at 3.3V and 300mA. Direct substitution without circuit modification will result in component failure or non-operation.

Q: What are the key compatibility criteria for substituting the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BF6?

A: Substitute parts must maintain: 3700K color temperature, 94–100 lm flux output at 25°C, 80 CRI minimum, 120° viewing angle, 5.00mm × 5.00mm footprint, 1.48mm maximum seated height, 5°C/W thermal resistance, and 2A MSL rating.

Q: Does the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BF6 have the same package footprint?

A: Yes. Both parts use a 5.00mm × 5.00mm 2-SMD gull wing package with 1.48mm maximum seated height. The MX6AWT variant includes an exposed pad for enhanced thermal management. PCB layout compatibility is maintained for footprint placement, but thermal design may be optimized with the exposed pad feature.

Q: What is the impact of the voltage and current differences?

A: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BF6 operates at 3.3V and 300mA versus the original 20V and 60mA. This represents a 6× reduction in forward voltage and 5× increase in test current. Power dissipation at test current is comparable (990mW for the substitute versus 1200mW for the original), but the driver topology must change from a high-voltage, low-current design to a low-voltage, high-current design.

Q: Is the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BF6 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BF6 is RoHS compliant. RoHS status for the original MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BF6 is not specified in the available documentation.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both parts?

A: Both the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BF6 and MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BF6 carry a 2A MSL rating, indicating a 4-week floor life after moisture exposure. Standard moisture control procedures apply to both parts during storage and assembly.
