Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CA8 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Criteria:

• Color and CCT: White, Warm 3000K
• Viewing Angle: 120°
• Package Type: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration
• Physical Dimensions: 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm footprint
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Thermal Resistance: 5°C/W

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Forward Voltage (Vf): May differ based on circuit design requirements
• Test Current and Maximum Current: May differ if luminous flux output remains within acceptable range
• Lumens/Watt efficiency: May vary with different voltage/current operating points
• CRI: May vary if color rendering requirements permit
• Product Status: Active status preferred for ongoing availability

The MX6AWT-01-0000-000CA8 qualifies as a substitute based on matching color temperature, viewing angle, package configuration, and physical dimensions, despite differences in voltage and current specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-01-0000-000CA8 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CA8. Selection is based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The MX6AWT-01-0000-000CA8 maintains active product status with current manufacturing support, whereas the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CA8 is obsolete and subject to end-of-life constraints.

Compliance and Certifications: The MX6AWT-01-0000-000CA8 carries RoHS Compliant certification, providing regulatory advantage for applications subject to environmental compliance requirements. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status.

Electrical Compatibility Considerations: The substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage versus 20V for the main part. Circuit redesign is required to accommodate this voltage difference. Both parts deliver equivalent luminous flux (104 lm) at their respective test currents, ensuring optical performance parity.

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

Package Configuration: The substitute features an exposed pad variant of the 2-SMD Gull Wing package, providing enhanced thermal management capability compared to the standard configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-01-0000-000CA8 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CA8?

A: Physical and thermal compatibility is direct. Electrical compatibility requires circuit modification due to the 20V to 3.3V forward voltage difference. PCB layout remains unchanged; power supply and current-limiting circuitry must be redesigned.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CA8 is classified as obsolete. The MX6AWT-01-0000-000CA8 is an active product with ongoing manufacturing support and availability.

Q: Are the optical characteristics equivalent?

A: Both parts deliver 104 lumens at 25°C within the 100–107 lm specification range. Color temperature (3000K warm white) and viewing angle (120°) are identical. CRI specification is provided for the main part (80) but not for the substitute.

Q: What is the significance of the exposed pad in the substitute package?

A: The exposed pad variant (2-SMD, Gull Wing Exposed Pad) provides direct thermal contact to the PCB, improving heat dissipation compared to standard Gull Wing packages. This enhances thermal management in high-current or thermally constrained applications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The substitute carries RoHS Compliant certification. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and identical MSL (2A, 4 Weeks) ratings.

Q: What packaging format is available for the substitute?

A: The MX6AWT-01-0000-000CA8 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, standard for high-volume surface mount production.
