Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BB7 is identified as a substitute for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CB8 based on the following substitution criteria:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Identical package type: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration
• Identical footprint dimensions: 5.00mm x 5.00mm
• Identical maximum seated height: 1.48mm
• Identical thermal resistance: 5°C/W
• Identical MSL rating: 2A (4 Weeks)

Optical Compatibility:

• Identical color: White
• Identical viewing angle: 120°

Electrical Differences (Design Consideration): The substitute operates at significantly different electrical parameters: 3.3V forward voltage at 300mA test current versus the original 20V at 60mA. This represents a fundamentally different operating point and power delivery architecture. Substitution requires circuit redesign to accommodate the lower voltage and higher current requirements.

Regulatory & Compliance:

• Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status
• Substitute part is Active (versus Obsolete status of original)
• Substitute includes RoHS Compliant certification

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Obsolescence Mitigation: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BB7 addresses the obsolete status of the original MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CB8 by providing an active, production-available alternative from the same manufacturer within the XLamp® family.

Mechanical Substitution Feasibility: Both parts share identical footprint, height, and thermal characteristics, enabling direct PCB layout compatibility without redesign of mechanical mounting or thermal management structures.

Electrical Circuit Requirements: Direct electrical substitution is not feasible without circuit modification. The substitute requires a power supply architecture delivering 3.3V at up to 300mA per LED, whereas the original operates at 20V with 60mA nominal current. Current-limiting and voltage regulation circuits must be redesigned accordingly.

Compliance Advantage: The substitute part carries RoHS Compliant certification and maintains REACH Unaffected status, providing regulatory alignment for applications with RoHS requirements.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for automated assembly processes, whereas the original was supplied in bulk packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BB7 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CB8?

A: No. While both parts share identical mechanical dimensions and footprint, they operate at fundamentally different electrical parameters (20V/60mA versus 3.3V/300mA). Direct substitution requires complete redesign of the power delivery and current-limiting circuitry.

Q: Are the package dimensions identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use a 2-SMD, Gull Wing package measuring 5.00mm x 5.00mm with a maximum seated height of 1.48mm. The substitute features an exposed pad variant, which may provide improved thermal performance in high-power applications.

Q: What is the difference in light output between these parts?

A: The original MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CB8 produces 104 lumens at 60mA, while the substitute MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BB7 produces 97 lumens at 300mA. The substitute achieves higher efficiency (98 lm/W versus 87 lm/W) despite lower absolute flux output.

Q: Does the substitute part meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000BB7 is RoHS Compliant. The original part's RoHS status is not specified in the available data.

Q: What is the significance of the "Exposed Pad" variant in the substitute part?

A: The exposed pad in the 2-SMD, Gull Wing Exposed Pad package provides direct thermal contact to the PCB, improving heat dissipation. This is beneficial for applications operating at or near the maximum current rating of 1A.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automated assembly?

A: The substitute part is supplied in Tape & Reel format, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. The original part was supplied in bulk packaging, requiring manual handling or custom tape preparation.
