Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BZ8 is based on the following criteria:

Compatible Parameters:

• Color temperature: 2700K warm white (maintained)
• Viewing angle: 120° (maintained)
• Package footprint: 5.00mm x 5.00mm (maintained)
• Height: 1.48mm maximum seated height (maintained)
• Thermal resistance: 5°C/W (maintained)
• CRI: 80 (maintained)
• Mounting type: Surface mount (maintained)

Differing Parameters:

• Forward voltage (Vf): Changes from 20V to 3.3V
• Test current: Changes from 60mA to 300mA
• Maximum current: Changes from 175mA to 1A
• Lumens/Watt efficiency: Changes from 81 lm/W to 92 lm/W
• Package configuration: Changes from standard Gull Wing to Gull Wing Exposed Pad
• Product status: Changes from Obsolete to Active

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AZ8 represents the direct successor within the XLamp® product family, maintaining identical physical dimensions and optical characteristics while operating at significantly lower voltage and higher current levels.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AZ8 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BZ8. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The substitute part maintains Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support, whereas the main part is classified as Obsolete.

Compliance & Certifications: The substitute part is RoHS Compliant and maintains REACH Unaffected status, identical to the main part's REACH classification. Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN designation and identical HTSUS codes.

Physical Compatibility: Identical footprint (5.00mm x 5.00mm), height (1.48mm maximum), and thermal resistance (5°C/W) ensure direct PCB layout compatibility without redesign.

Optical Characteristics: Both parts maintain 2700K warm white color temperature, 80 CRI, and 120° viewing angle, preserving lighting performance and color rendering properties.

Electrical Differences: The substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage versus 20V for the main part, with proportionally higher test current (300mA versus 60mA). Circuit design modifications are required to accommodate these electrical parameter changes. The substitute demonstrates improved efficiency at 92 lm/W compared to 81 lm/W.

Packaging: The substitute features Gull Wing Exposed Pad configuration versus standard Gull Wing, requiring thermal management consideration in high-power applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AZ8 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BZ8?

A: Physical and optical compatibility is direct; however, electrical circuit modifications are mandatory. The 20V to 3.3V forward voltage change and 60mA to 300mA current change require redesign of power supply and current-limiting circuitry. PCB layout remains compatible without modification.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: Primary differences are forward voltage (20V vs. 3.3V), test current (60mA vs. 300mA), maximum current rating (175mA vs. 1A), product status (Obsolete vs. Active), and package variant (standard Gull Wing vs. Gull Wing Exposed Pad). Color temperature, viewing angle, CRI, and physical dimensions remain identical.

Q: Why is the substitute part more efficient (92 lm/W vs. 81 lm/W)?

A: Efficiency is measured at the respective test currents for each part. The MX6AWT operates at 300mA test current while the MX6SWT operates at 60mA. Efficiency differences reflect the distinct operating points and generational improvements in the XLamp® MX-6 series design.

Q: Does the Gull Wing Exposed Pad package affect thermal performance?

A: Both parts maintain identical thermal resistance of 5°C/W. The exposed pad on the substitute part provides enhanced thermal coupling to the PCB, potentially improving heat dissipation in applications with adequate thermal design.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences?

A: The substitute part is explicitly RoHS Compliant, whereas RoHS status is not specified for the main part. Both maintain REACH Unaffected status, identical ECCN (EAR99), and identical HTSUS codes. Moisture sensitivity level is identical at 2A (4 Weeks).

Q: What is the inventory status of these parts?

A: The main part (MX6SWT-H1-0000-000BZ8) has 863 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The substitute part (MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AZ8) has 851 pieces in stock as new original inventory.
