MX6SWT-H1-0000-000DA8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MX6SWT-H1-0000-000DA8 is a CreeLED XLamp® MX-6S warm white LED (3000K) designed for surface mount applications. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing production and maintenance requirements. The part delivers 111 lumens at 25°C under 60mA test conditions with a forward voltage of 20V and efficiency of 93 lm/W. Due to its discontinued status, equivalent alternatives must be evaluated based on electrical performance, optical characteristics, and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000DA8 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Optical Compatibility: Color temperature (3000K warm white) and viewing angle (120°) must remain constant. Flux output at 25°C must fall within the specified range (107–114 lm) to maintain luminous intensity consistency.

Electrical Compatibility: Forward voltage and test current define the electrical operating point. The substitute must operate within the same voltage class and current range to ensure circuit compatibility without redesign.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package type (2-SMD, Gull Wing), footprint dimensions (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm), and seated height (1.48 mm max) must match to ensure PCB assembly compatibility.

Environmental & Compliance: Thermal resistance (5°C/W), MSL rating (2A), and REACH status must be equivalent or superior to support the same operating conditions and supply chain requirements.

The identified substitute part MX6AWT-01-0000-000DA8 shares the same optical characteristics (3000K, 120° viewing angle, 111 lm flux) and mechanical footprint but operates at significantly different electrical parameters (3.3V forward voltage, 300 mA test current). This represents a functional equivalent for warm white LED applications but requires circuit-level evaluation due to voltage and current differences.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Consideration: The MX6AWT-01-0000-000DA8 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000DA8. Both parts are manufactured by CreeLED and share identical optical output (111 lm at 3000K) and mechanical footprint (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm, 1.48 mm height).

Active Product Status: The MX6AWT-01-0000-000DA8 maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (731 pcs), ensuring long-term supply chain viability compared to the obsolete main part.

Compliance Advantage: The substitute part carries RoHS Compliant certification, providing regulatory compliance assurance. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and equivalent MSL ratings (2A, 4 Weeks).

Electrical Redesign Requirement: The substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage with 300 mA test current, compared to the main part's 20V and 60 mA. Circuit-level modifications to current-limiting resistors and voltage supply topology are necessary. The substitute's higher efficiency (112 lm/W vs. 93 lm/W) may offset increased current draw in power budget calculations.

Package Variant: The substitute features an exposed pad variant of the 2-SMD Gull Wing package, which may improve thermal performance in high-power applications but requires PCB layout adjustment to accommodate the additional thermal pad.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-01-0000-000DA8 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000DA8?

A: No. While both parts deliver identical luminous flux (111 lm) and color temperature (3000K), the electrical parameters differ significantly. The substitute requires 3.3V forward voltage and 300 mA test current versus the main part's 20V and 60 mA. Direct substitution without circuit modification will result in component failure or inadequate performance.

Q: What are the key compatibility factors for this substitution?

A: Optical compatibility (color, flux, viewing angle), mechanical compatibility (footprint, height, package type), and thermal characteristics (5°C/W) are fully compatible. Electrical parameters (voltage, current) require circuit redesign. Environmental ratings (MSL, REACH) are equivalent or superior.

Q: Does the exposed pad on the substitute part affect PCB assembly?

A: The exposed pad on the MX6AWT-01-0000-000DA8 provides enhanced thermal dissipation and requires PCB layout modification to include a thermal via pattern. Standard assembly processes accommodate this variant, but thermal pad connection must be specified in PCB design files.

Q: Is CRI (Color Rendering Index) a concern when substituting?

A: The main part specifies CRI 80, while the substitute does not provide a CRI value. If color rendering performance is critical to the application, CRI specification should be confirmed with the manufacturer before final design approval.

Q: What is the impact of higher efficiency on power consumption?

A: The substitute delivers 112 lm/W versus 93 lm/W for the main part. At equivalent luminous output (111 lm), the substitute consumes approximately 990 mW (3.3V × 300 mA) compared to 1200 mW (20V × 60 mA) for the main part, representing a 17.5% reduction in power consumption.

Q: Are there supply chain advantages to using the substitute?

A: Yes. The MX6AWT-01-0000-000DA8 maintains active product status with 731 pcs in stock, compared to the obsolete main part with 1032 pcs. Active status ensures continued availability and manufacturer support for future orders.
