Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CDZ is identified as a substitute for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000C53 based on the following criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• Color and CCT: Both are white, cool white at 5000K
• Flux output: Both deliver 104 lm (100–107 lm range) at 25°C
• CRI: Both maintain CRI of 80
• Viewing angle: Both provide 120° viewing angle
• Package footprint: Both use 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration with 5.00mm × 5.00mm dimensions
• Height: Both have 1.48mm seated height (max)
• Thermal resistance: Both rated at 5°C/W
• Moisture sensitivity: Both rated MSL 2A (4 Weeks)
• REACH and ECCN compliance: Both REACH Unaffected, EAR99

Differing Parameters:

• Series: MX-6S (main) vs. MX-6 (substitute)
• Forward voltage: 20V (main) vs. 3.3V (substitute)
• Test current: 60mA (main) vs. 300mA (substitute)
• Maximum current: 175mA (main) vs. 1A (substitute)
• Lumens/Watt: 87 lm/W (main) vs. 105 lm/W (substitute)
• Package detail: Standard Gull Wing (main) vs. Gull Wing Exposed Pad (substitute)
• Product status: Obsolete (main) vs. Active (substitute)
• RoHS status: Not specified (main) vs. RoHS Compliant (substitute)
• Packaging format: Unspecified (main) vs. Tape & Reel (substitute)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CDZ is an active product with RoHS compliance, providing continuity for designs currently using the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000C53. Both parts maintain identical optical output (104 lm at 5000K, CRI 80) and mechanical compatibility (5.00mm × 5.00mm footprint, 1.48mm height, 120° viewing angle).

Circuit redesign is required due to the significant difference in forward voltage (20V vs. 3.3V) and operating current (60mA vs. 300mA). The substitute operates at lower voltage with higher current, necessitating adjustment of current-limiting resistors and power supply specifications. The exposed pad variant of the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CDZ provides improved thermal management compared to the standard Gull Wing package.

Both parts carry identical REACH and ECCN classifications (REACH Unaffected, EAR99) and MSL ratings (2A, 4 Weeks), ensuring regulatory and handling consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CDZ be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000C53?

A: No. While both parts share identical optical output, viewing angle, and physical footprint, the forward voltage differs significantly (20V vs. 3.3V). Direct substitution without circuit modification will result in incorrect LED operation or failure. Current-limiting resistor values and power supply voltage must be recalculated for the 3.3V, 300mA operating point.

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

A: Substitution is based on matching color temperature (5000K), luminous flux (104 lm), CRI (80), viewing angle (120°), package footprint (5.00mm × 5.00mm), and thermal characteristics (5°C/W). Electrical parameters (forward voltage and current) are application-dependent and require circuit redesign.

Q: Does the exposed pad on the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CDZ affect PCB layout?

A: The exposed pad improves thermal dissipation and may require PCB layout modifications to include thermal vias or ground plane connections. Standard Gull Wing packages do not include this feature. Consult the detailed package drawings for both variants to confirm layout compatibility.

Q: Are there any compliance or handling differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are REACH Unaffected and classified as EAR99. Both carry MSL 2A (4 Weeks) ratings. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CDZ includes RoHS compliance certification, while the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000C53 does not specify this status.

Q: Why is the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000C53 marked as obsolete?

A: The MX6S series has been superseded by the active MX-6 series. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CDZ represents the current generation equivalent with improved efficiency (105 lm/W vs. 87 lm/W) and active product support.
