Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CE8 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Color Temperature (CCT): 2700K warm white
• Viewing Angle: 120°
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (SMD)
• Package Configuration: 2-SMD, Gull Wing form factor
• Physical Dimensions: 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint with 1.48mm maximum seated height
• Thermal Resistance: 5°C/W package thermal performance
• Color Rendering Index (CRI): 80

The substitute part MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AE8 maintains compatibility across these core parameters. However, this substitute operates at significantly different electrical specifications (3.3V forward voltage, 300mA test current) compared to the main part (20V, 60mA). This electrical difference requires circuit redesign and is not a direct pin-compatible replacement. The substitute is suitable only for applications where the circuit topology can accommodate the lower voltage and higher current requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AE8 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CE8. Selection of this substitute is justified by the following factors:

• Product Status: The main part is obsolete; the substitute is active and available in production quantities (1008 pcs in stock).
• Compliance: Both parts maintain identical REACH status (REACH Unaffected) and ECCN classification (EAR99). The substitute carries RoHS Compliant certification, providing enhanced regulatory alignment.
• Optical Compatibility: Both parts deliver 2700K warm white color temperature with 80 CRI and 120° viewing angle, maintaining consistent color rendering and light distribution characteristics.
• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint and 1.48mm maximum height enable direct PCB layout reuse. The substitute features an exposed pad variant of the 2-SMD Gull Wing package.
• Thermal Performance: Both parts maintain 5°C/W thermal resistance, ensuring equivalent thermal management in existing designs.

Critical Design Consideration: The substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage and 300mA test current, compared to the main part's 20V and 60mA specifications. This represents a fundamental electrical difference requiring complete driver circuit redesign. Direct socket substitution without circuit modification is not possible.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AE8 be used as a direct replacement without circuit changes?

A: No. The substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300mA test current, while the main part operates at 20V with 60mA. The electrical specifications are fundamentally different and require driver circuit redesign. PCB layout can be reused due to identical mechanical dimensions, but power delivery and current limiting circuits must be modified.

Q: Are the optical characteristics identical between the main part and substitute?

A: Yes. Both parts deliver 2700K warm white color temperature with 80 CRI and 120° viewing angle. Luminous flux differs slightly (104lm vs. 91lm at respective test currents), but color rendering and light distribution characteristics are equivalent.

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

A: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AE8 features an exposed pad in its 2-SMD Gull Wing package. This provides enhanced thermal dissipation capability compared to standard packages. The exposed pad should be soldered to a thermal pad on the PCB for optimal heat transfer, particularly important given the substitute's higher test current (300mA).

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same environmental conditions?

A: Both parts carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 2A (4 Weeks), indicating equivalent moisture handling requirements during storage and assembly. Both maintain REACH Unaffected status. The substitute carries additional RoHS Compliant certification.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: The main part (MX6SWT-H1-0000-000CE8) is obsolete with 808 pcs available. The substitute (MX6AWT-H1-0000-000AE8) is active with 1008 pcs in stock, providing assured long-term availability.

Q: How do the lumens/watt efficiency ratings compare?

A: The substitute delivers 92 lm/W at its 300mA test current, compared to 87 lm/W for the main part at 60mA. The substitute exhibits slightly higher luminous efficacy, though absolute luminous output differs due to different operating currents.
