MX6SWT-H1-0000-000DE5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MX6SWT-H1-0000-000DE5 is a CreeLED XLamp® MX-6S neutral white LED (4000K) designed for surface mount applications. This component operates at 20V forward voltage with a 60mA test current, delivering 111 lumens at 25°C and 93 lm/W efficiency. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications requiring equivalent neutral white LED performance in the 4000K color temperature range.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000DE5 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Color and CCT Match: Neutral white at 4000K (required for color consistency)
• Viewing Angle: 120° (optical performance requirement)
• CRI: 80 (color rendering consistency)
• Package Type: 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration (mechanical and thermal compatibility)
• Physical Dimensions: 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint with 1.48mm maximum seated height (PCB layout compatibility)
• Thermal Resistance: 5°C/W (thermal management equivalence)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (assembly process compatibility)

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CE5 qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical parameters above. However, this substitute operates at significantly different electrical specifications (3.3V forward voltage, 300mA test current) compared to the main part (20V, 60mA), requiring circuit redesign and power supply reconfiguration.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CE5 is the identified substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000DE5. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

• Product Status: The substitute is active, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete main part.
• Compliance: The substitute carries RoHS Compliant certification, meeting modern regulatory requirements. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification.
• Optical Equivalence: Both parts deliver neutral white 4000K output with 80 CRI and 120° viewing angle, maintaining color consistency and optical performance.
• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint and 1.48mm maximum height enable direct PCB layout reuse without redesign.
• Thermal Characteristics: Matching 5°C/W thermal resistance ensures equivalent thermal management performance.

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 power supply and current-limiting circuit redesign. Direct pin-for-pin replacement without circuit modification will result in component failure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CE5 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000DE5?

A: No. While both parts share identical physical dimensions, footprint, and optical characteristics, the substitute operates at 3.3V forward voltage compared to the main part's 20V. Direct substitution without circuit redesign will damage the component. Power supply and current-limiting circuitry must be reconfigured to accommodate the lower voltage and higher current requirements.

Q: Are the optical outputs equivalent between these two parts?

A: The optical outputs are closely matched. The main part delivers 111lm at 60mA test current, while the substitute delivers 104lm at 300mA test current. Both maintain 4000K neutral white color temperature, 80 CRI, and 120° viewing angle. The 7-lumen difference reflects the different test current conditions rather than fundamental optical performance variation.

Q: What is the significance of the "Exposed Pad" designation in the substitute part's package?

A: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CE5 features an exposed pad in its 2-SMD, Gull Wing package, which provides enhanced thermal dissipation compared to the main part's standard 2-SMD, Gull Wing package. This exposed pad should be soldered to a thermal pad on the PCB to optimize heat transfer and maintain thermal performance within the 5°C/W specification.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same moisture handling procedures?

A: Yes. Both parts carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 2A rating with a 4-week floor life. Identical moisture control and storage procedures apply to both components.

Q: What compliance differences exist between the main part and substitute?

A: The substitute carries explicit RoHS Compliant certification, while the main part does not specify RoHS status. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the substitute is the appropriate selection.
