Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CE4 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Color and Correlated Color Temperature (CCT): Both the main part and substitute must maintain white neutral 4500K specification to preserve color consistency in lighting applications.

Viewing Angle: The 120° viewing angle is a fixed optical characteristic that must be maintained across substitutes.

Physical Dimensions and Mounting: Both parts must share identical footprint dimensions (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm) and mounting type (surface mount, 2-SMD gull wing configuration) to ensure PCB compatibility without redesign.

Thermal Characteristics: The 5°C/W thermal resistance must be preserved to maintain thermal management performance in the application circuit.

Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 2A rating ensures equivalent handling and storage requirements.

Regulatory Compliance: REACH Unaffected status must be maintained for regulatory continuity.

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CE4 qualifies as a substitute based on these parameters. However, this substitute operates at significantly different electrical characteristics (3.3V forward voltage, 300mA test current, 1A maximum current) compared to the main part (20V, 60mA, 175mA maximum). Circuit redesign is required to accommodate these electrical differences.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CE4 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CE4. Both components are manufactured by CreeLED, Inc., and share identical optical and thermal specifications (4500K CCT, 104 lm flux, 120° viewing angle, 5°C/W thermal resistance).

The substitute part carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CE4 includes RoHS compliance certification, providing enhanced regulatory alignment for new designs.

Critical consideration: The substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300mA test current, compared to the main part's 20V and 60mA specifications. This represents a fundamental electrical difference requiring complete circuit redesign, including modifications to current-limiting resistors, power supply voltage, and thermal management provisions. The substitute's higher efficiency (105 lm/W versus 87 lm/W) may offset increased current draw in optimized designs.

Both components maintain identical physical footprints (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm, 1.48 mm height) and surface mount configuration, allowing PCB layout reuse without modification. The substitute's exposed pad package variant provides enhanced thermal dissipation capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CE4 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CE4?

A: No. While both components share identical physical dimensions, optical characteristics, and thermal properties, they operate at fundamentally different electrical specifications (3.3V/300mA versus 20V/60mA). Direct substitution without circuit modification will result in component failure or malfunction. Current-limiting resistors, power supply voltage, and drive circuitry must be redesigned.

Q: Are the PCB footprints identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both components use 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm surface mount packages with 1.48 mm maximum seated height. PCB layout and land pattern can remain unchanged. However, the substitute includes an exposed pad variant, which may provide improved thermal performance if the PCB design incorporates thermal vias connected to ground or heat sink planes.

Q: What is the significance of the "Exposed Pad" designation on the substitute part?

A: The exposed pad on the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CE4 provides direct thermal contact to the PCB substrate, enhancing heat dissipation. This feature is particularly beneficial in high-brightness or continuous-operation applications. Thermal via placement beneath the exposed pad is recommended to maximize thermal performance.

Q: Do both parts have the same color rendering index?

A: Yes. Both the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CE4 and MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CE4 maintain a CRI of 80 and 4500K neutral white color temperature. Color consistency is preserved across the substitution.

Q: What are the moisture sensitivity requirements for handling these components?

A: Both parts carry MSL 2A rating, requiring storage at controlled humidity (≤60% RH) for up to 4 weeks after packaging. Identical moisture control procedures apply to both the main part and substitute.

Q: Is the substitute part RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CE4 is RoHS compliant. The main part's RoHS status was not specified in the provided data. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status.
