Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CA1 is evaluated based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Color and correlated color temperature (CCT): Must match 5000K Cool White
• Luminous flux at 25°C: Must fall within or near the 100–107 lm specification range
• Color rendering index (CRI): Must match 80
• Viewing angle: Must match 120°

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Mounting type: Surface Mount required
• Package / Case: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration
• Physical dimensions: 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm footprint
• Height - Seated (Max): 1.48 mm maximum

Operational Considerations:

• Forward voltage (Vf) and test current may differ due to different LED die technology within the same product family
• Lumens/Watt efficiency may vary between generations
• Thermal resistance remains consistent at 5°C/W

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CA1 qualifies as a substitute based on matching color, CCT, CRI, viewing angle, mounting type, package configuration, and physical dimensions. However, electrical operating parameters differ significantly.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CA1 as Substitute:

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CA1 is an active product with RoHS compliance, providing supply chain continuity for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CA1. Both components share identical color temperature (5000K), CRI (80), viewing angle (120°), physical footprint (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm), and thermal characteristics (5°C/W).

Critical differences exist in electrical operating parameters. The MX6AWT operates at 3.3V typical forward voltage with 300 mA test current, compared to the MX6SWT's 20V and 60 mA. The MX6AWT delivers superior luminous efficiency at 105 lm/W versus 87 lm/W. The package variant includes an exposed pad on the MX6AWT.

Substitution requires circuit redesign to accommodate the different voltage and current requirements. Applications designed for 20V/60 mA operation cannot directly replace the component without power supply and current limiting modifications. The MX6AWT's higher efficiency and active product status support long-term availability and design flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CA1 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CA1?

A: No. While both components share identical color temperature (5000K), CRI (80), viewing angle (120°), and physical dimensions (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm), they operate at fundamentally different electrical parameters. The MX6SWT requires 20V forward voltage at 60 mA test current, while the MX6AWT operates at 3.3V and 300 mA. Direct substitution without circuit modification will result in component failure or malfunction.

Q: What are the key compatibility criteria for substituting the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CA1?

A: Substitute components must maintain the following parameters: Cool White color at 5000K CCT, CRI of 80, 120° viewing angle, surface mount configuration, 2-SMD Gull Wing package, 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm footprint, and 1.48 mm maximum seated height. Electrical parameters (forward voltage, test current, maximum current) may differ based on LED die technology and series generation.

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

A: The exposed pad variant (MX6AWT) includes an additional thermal pad on the package underside, improving heat dissipation characteristics. Both packages maintain identical external dimensions (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm) and 1.48 mm maximum height. The exposed pad does not affect PCB footprint compatibility but may provide enhanced thermal performance in high-power applications.

Q: Why is the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CA1 classified as Obsolete?

A: The MX6SWT belongs to the XLamp® MX-6S series, which has been superseded by newer LED generations including the XLamp® MX-6 series (represented by the MX6AWT). Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer no longer produces this component. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CA1 represents the active product line continuation with improved efficiency and RoHS compliance.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences between these components?

A: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CA1 is RoHS Compliant, while RoHS status is not specified for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CA1. Both components are REACH Unaffected and carry ECCN EAR99 classification. Both maintain MSL 2A (4 Weeks) moisture sensitivity level. Applications requiring RoHS compliance should prioritize the MX6AWT.
