Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CE5 is identified as a substitute for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000EE5 based on the following substitution criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• Color and CCT: Both parts are White, Neutral 4000K
• Viewing Angle: Both maintain 120° viewing angle
• Mounting Type: Both are Surface Mount
• Package Footprint: Both use 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration with identical 5.00mm × 5.00mm dimensions
• Height: Both have 1.48mm maximum seated height
• Thermal Resistance: Both specify 5°C/W
• CRI: Both maintain CRI of 80
• MSL Rating: Both are MSL 2A (4 Weeks)
• Compliance: Both are REACH Unaffected and ECCN EAR99

Differing Parameters:

• Voltage - Forward (Vf): MX6SWT operates at 20V; MX6AWT operates at 3.3V
• Current - Test: MX6SWT at 60mA; MX6AWT at 300mA
• Flux Output: MX6SWT delivers 118lm; MX6AWT delivers 104lm
• Lumens/Watt: MX6SWT at 98 lm/W; MX6AWT at 105 lm/W
• Current - Max: MX6SWT rated to 175mA; MX6AWT rated to 1A
• Product Status: MX6SWT is Obsolete; MX6AWT is Active
• Packaging: MX6SWT is loose; MX6AWT is Tape & Reel (TR)
• RoHS Status: MX6AWT is RoHS Compliant

Substitution is valid when the application circuit can accommodate the lower forward voltage (3.3V vs. 20V) and higher test current (300mA vs. 60mA) of the MX6AWT variant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CE5 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-0000-000EE5. Selection of the MX6AWT is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The MX6AWT maintains Active status with ongoing manufacturer support, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the Obsolete MX6SWT.

Compliance & Certifications: The MX6AWT is RoHS Compliant, providing enhanced environmental compliance. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 classification, ensuring regulatory alignment.

Electrical Compatibility: Substitution requires circuit redesign to accommodate the 3.3V forward voltage (versus 20V) and 300mA test current (versus 60mA). The MX6AWT's higher maximum current rating (1A versus 175mA) provides additional operational margin.

Optical & Thermal Characteristics: Both parts deliver equivalent color temperature (4000K), CRI (80), and viewing angle (120°). Thermal resistance remains identical at 5°C/W. The MX6AWT achieves superior lumens-per-watt efficiency (105 lm/W versus 98 lm/W), though absolute flux output is slightly lower (104lm versus 118lm).

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical footprint (5.00mm × 5.00mm), height (1.48mm), and mounting type (Surface Mount) enable direct PCB layout reuse. The MX6AWT features an Exposed Pad variant of the 2-SMD Gull Wing package, which may improve thermal performance in high-power applications.

Packaging: The MX6AWT is supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for automated assembly processes, whereas the MX6SWT was supplied loose.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CE5 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MX6SWT-H1-0000-000EE5?

A: No. While both parts share identical mechanical footprints and optical characteristics, the MX6AWT operates at 3.3V forward voltage compared to the MX6SWT's 20V. Circuit redesign is required to accommodate this voltage difference. The higher test current (300mA versus 60mA) also necessitates current-limiting circuit adjustments.

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

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match or are compatible: color and CCT (4000K), viewing angle (120°), mounting type (Surface Mount), package footprint (5.00mm × 5.00mm), height (1.48mm), and thermal resistance (5°C/W). Electrical parameters (Vf and test current) must be accommodated by the application circuit.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: The MX6AWT is RoHS Compliant, whereas RoHS status is not specified for the MX6SWT. Both parts are REACH Unaffected and classified as EAR99. Applications requiring RoHS compliance should use the MX6AWT.

Q: How do the optical outputs compare?

A: The MX6SWT delivers 118lm at 60mA test current, while the MX6AWT delivers 104lm at 300mA test current. Both maintain 4000K color temperature and CRI of 80. The MX6AWT achieves higher efficiency (105 lm/W versus 98 lm/W).

Q: What is the significance of the Exposed Pad in the MX6AWT package?

A: The MX6AWT's 2-SMD Gull Wing Exposed Pad configuration provides enhanced thermal dissipation compared to standard packages. This is beneficial in applications requiring sustained high-current operation or thermal management optimization.

Q: Are there inventory or supply considerations?

A: The MX6SWT is Obsolete with 926 pieces in stock. The MX6AWT is Active with 815 pieces in stock, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support for future production runs.

Q: What packaging format should be specified for automated assembly?

A: The MX6AWT is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for pick-and-place assembly. The MX6SWT was supplied loose. Specify MX6AWT-H1-0000-000CE5 for automated manufacturing processes.
