Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CA3 is identified as a substitute for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000EA3 based on the following substitution criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• Color and CCT: Both are White, Neutral 4300K
• Viewing Angle: Both provide 120° viewing angle
• Package Footprint: Both use 2-SMD Gull Wing configuration with identical 5.00mm x 5.00mm dimensions
• Height: Both have 1.48mm maximum seated height
• Thermal Resistance: Both specify 5°C/W
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both rated MSL 2A (4 Weeks)
• Mounting Type: Both are Surface Mount

Differing Parameters:

• Series: MX-6S (obsolete) vs. MX-6 (active)
• Voltage - Forward (Vf): 20V vs. 3.3V
• Current - Test: 60mA vs. 300mA
• Flux Output: 118lm vs. 104lm
• Lumens/Watt: 98 lm/W vs. 105 lm/W
• Current - Max: 175mA vs. 1A
• Packaging: Bulk vs. Tape & Reel (TR)
• Product Status: Obsolete vs. Active

Substitution is valid when the application circuit can accommodate the different electrical operating point (3.3V/300mA vs. 20V/60mA) while maintaining the same optical characteristics (color, CCT, viewing angle) and physical footprint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CA3 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000EA3. Selection of the substitute part is appropriate based on the following factors:

Product Status: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CA3 maintains Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support, whereas the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000EA3 is Obsolete.

Compliance: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CA3 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements. Both parts share identical REACH status.

Physical Compatibility: Identical footprint (5.00mm x 5.00mm), height (1.48mm), and package configuration (2-SMD Gull Wing) ensure direct PCB layout compatibility.

Optical Characteristics: Both parts deliver neutral white light at 4300K with 120° viewing angle and CRI 80, maintaining consistent color performance in the application.

Electrical Differences: The substitute operates at 3.3V/300mA versus the original 20V/60mA. Circuit redesign is required to accommodate this different electrical operating point. The substitute delivers slightly lower flux (104lm vs. 118lm) but higher efficiency (105 lm/W vs. 98 lm/W).

Packaging: The substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, providing advantages for automated assembly compared to bulk packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CA3 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000EA3?

A: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CA3 shares identical physical dimensions and footprint, allowing direct PCB placement. However, the electrical operating point differs significantly (3.3V/300mA vs. 20V/60mA), requiring circuit modification to the power supply and current-limiting components. Direct substitution without circuit redesign is not possible.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is based on matching color (White, Neutral 4300K), viewing angle (120°), package footprint (5.00mm x 5.00mm), height (1.48mm), and thermal characteristics (5°C/W). The electrical operating point (voltage and current) is application-dependent and must be evaluated separately.

Q: How does the flux output differ between these parts?

A: The MX6SWT-H1-0000-000EA3 produces 118lm at 60mA test current, while the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CA3 produces 104lm at 300mA test current. The difference reflects operation at different current levels. The substitute achieves higher efficiency (105 lm/W vs. 98 lm/W).

Q: Are there package differences between these parts?

A: Both use 2-SMD Gull Wing configuration with identical footprint. The original uses standard Gull Wing packaging, while the substitute features Gull Wing with Exposed Pad. The exposed pad provides improved thermal performance in high-power applications.

Q: What is the impact of the different maximum current ratings?

A: The MX6SWT-H1-0000-000EA3 has a maximum current of 175mA, while the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CA3 supports up to 1A. The substitute provides greater current headroom for the application circuit design.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulations?

A: The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CA3 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected. The MX6SWT-H1-0000-000EA3 is REACH Unaffected with RoHS status not specified. Both parts have MSL 2A (4 Weeks) moisture sensitivity rating.
