MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CA6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CA6 is an LED Lighting XLamp® MX-6S White warm white (3500K) surface mount component designed for 20V operation at 60mA with a 120° viewing angle in a 2-SMD gull wing package. This part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components necessary for ongoing design requirements and production continuity. The MX-6S series has been superseded by the active MX-6 series, which offers improved electrical characteristics and active product support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BA6 is identified as a substitute for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CA6 based on the following substitution criteria:

Common Parameters (Substitution Basis):

• Color and CCT: Both are White, Warm 3500K
• CRI: Both maintain 80 Color Rendering Index
• Viewing Angle: Both provide 120° viewing angle
• Package Type: Both use 2-SMD gull wing surface mount configuration
• Physical Dimensions: Both measure 5.00mm x 5.00mm
• Height: Both have 1.48mm seated height maximum
• Thermal Resistance: Both rated at 5°C/W
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both rated MSL 2A (4 Weeks)
• Compliance: Both REACH Unaffected, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8541.41.0000

Electrical Differences: The substitute operates at significantly different electrical parameters (3.3V forward voltage, 300mA test current) compared to the original 20V/60mA design. This represents a fundamental change in drive requirements and cannot be considered a direct pin-for-pin replacement without circuit redesign.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Part Replacement: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BA6 is the designated successor within the CreeLED XLamp® product line. It maintains identical color temperature (3500K), CRI (80), viewing angle (120°), and physical package footprint (5.00mm x 5.00mm, 1.48mm height), ensuring mechanical compatibility on existing PCB layouts.

Product Status Consideration: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BA6 carries Active product status with RoHS compliance certification, providing long-term supply assurance and regulatory alignment for new designs or production continuity.

Electrical Circuit Requirements: Direct substitution requires circuit redesign. The MX6AWT operates at 3.3V typical forward voltage with 300mA test current, compared to the MX6SWT's 20V/60mA specification. Driver circuits, current limiting resistors, and power supply configurations must be recalculated for the substitute component.

Thermal and Reliability: Both components share identical thermal resistance (5°C/W) and moisture sensitivity ratings (MSL 2A, 4 Weeks), ensuring equivalent thermal management and handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BA6 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CA6?

A: No. While both components share identical physical dimensions, package type, color temperature, and viewing angle, the electrical specifications differ fundamentally. The MX6AWT requires 3.3V forward voltage at 300mA test current, whereas the MX6SWT operates at 20V and 60mA. Circuit redesign is necessary.

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

A: Substitution is based on matching color (White, Warm 3500K), CRI (80), viewing angle (120°), package configuration (2-SMD gull wing), physical dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm), height (1.48mm), thermal resistance (5°C/W), and moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 2A). Electrical parameters (voltage and current) are application-dependent and do not prevent substitution if circuit design is adjusted accordingly.

Q: What is the difference between the package designations "2-SMD, Gull Wing" and "2-SMD, Gull Wing Exposed Pad"?

A: The MX6AWT includes an exposed pad for enhanced thermal dissipation, whereas the MX6SWT does not. Both are mechanically compatible on standard 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprints. The exposed pad on the MX6AWT provides improved thermal performance in high-power applications.

Q: Is the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BA6 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BA6 is RoHS Compliant. RoHS status for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CA6 was not specified in the available documentation.

Q: What is the inventory status of these components?

A: The MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CA6 (obsolete) has 1084 pieces in stock. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BA6 (active) has 844 pieces available in Tape & Reel packaging.
