Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BZ6 is identified as a substitute for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BZ6 based on the following substitution criteria:

Common Parameters (Substitution Basis):

• Color and CCT: Both are White, Warm 3500K
• Flux Output: Both deliver 97 lm (94–100 lm range) at 25°C
• CRI: Both maintain 80 color rendering index
• Viewing Angle: Both provide 120° viewing angle
• Package / Case: Both use 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration
• Physical Dimensions: Both measure 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm
• Height - Seated: Both have 1.48 mm maximum seated height
• Thermal Resistance: Both rated at 5°C/W
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both classified as 2A (4 Weeks)
• Mounting Type: Both are surface mount
• Manufacturer: Both from CreeLED, Inc.

Differing Parameters (Design Considerations):

• Voltage - Forward (Typ): MX6SWT operates at 20V; MX6AWT operates at 3.3V
• Current - Test: MX6SWT at 60 mA; MX6AWT at 300 mA
• Current - Max: MX6SWT rated 175 mA; MX6AWT rated 1A
• Lumens/Watt: MX6SWT at 81 lm/W; MX6AWT at 98 lm/W
• Series: MX6SWT is XLamp® MX-6S; MX6AWT is XLamp® MX-6
• Product Status: MX6SWT is Obsolete; MX6AWT is Active
• Package Detail: MX6SWT has standard Gull Wing; MX6AWT has Gull Wing Exposed Pad
• RoHS Status: MX6AWT is RoHS Compliant (MX6SWT status not specified)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BZ6 serves as the active substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BZ6. Both parts maintain identical photometric output (97 lm at 3500K with CRI 80) and physical form factor (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm, 2-SMD Gull Wing, 120° viewing angle).

The primary design difference is the forward voltage and operating current: the MX6AWT operates at 3.3V with 300 mA test current, compared to the MX6SWT at 20V with 60 mA test current. This represents a fundamental shift in the LED architecture between the MX-6S and MX-6 series. Circuit designs must be adapted to accommodate the lower voltage and higher current requirements of the MX6AWT.

The MX6AWT provides improved efficiency (98 lm/W versus 81 lm/W) and carries RoHS Compliance certification. The exposed pad configuration on the MX6AWT enhances thermal management compared to the standard Gull Wing package of the MX6SWT.

Selection of the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BZ6 is appropriate for applications requiring warm white 3500K illumination with equivalent light output and color rendering, provided the circuit design is modified to support the lower voltage and higher current operating point.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BZ6 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BZ6?

A: No. While both parts deliver identical photometric output (97 lm at 3500K) and share the same physical footprint (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm), they operate at different voltage and current levels. The MX6SWT requires 20V at 60 mA, while the MX6AWT requires 3.3V at 300 mA. Circuit redesign is necessary to accommodate the MX6AWT's lower voltage and higher current specifications.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution between these parts is based on matching: color and correlated color temperature (3500K warm white), photometric flux output (97 lm at 25°C), color rendering index (CRI 80), viewing angle (120°), package configuration (2-SMD Gull Wing), physical dimensions (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm), and thermal characteristics (5°C/W). Voltage and current operating points differ and must be evaluated separately for circuit compatibility.

Q: Why does the MX6AWT have higher lumens per watt efficiency?

A: The MX6AWT (XLamp® MX-6 series) achieves 98 lm/W compared to the MX6SWT (XLamp® MX-6S series) at 81 lm/W due to differences in LED die design and architecture between the two series. The lower operating voltage of the MX6AWT contributes to improved wall-plug efficiency.

Q: Are there thermal management differences between these parts?

A: Both parts have identical thermal resistance ratings (5°C/W). However, the MX6AWT features an exposed pad configuration that may provide enhanced thermal coupling to the PCB compared to the standard Gull Wing package of the MX6SWT, depending on PCB layout and thermal via implementation.

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

A: The exposed pad on the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BZ6 provides direct thermal contact to the PCB, improving heat dissipation. This is particularly beneficial in applications where the LED operates at or near maximum current ratings (up to 1A for the MX6AWT).

Q: Is the MX6AWT RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BZ6 is RoHS Compliant. The MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BZ6 RoHS status is not specified in the available data.

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

A: Both the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BZ6 and MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BZ6 are classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 2A, requiring storage and handling within 4 weeks of opening the sealed package.
