Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MX6AWT-H1-R250-000CE5 qualifies as a substitute based on the following matching parameters:

• Color and CCT: Both parts are white neutral 4000K LEDs
• Flux output: Identical flux specification at 104lm (100lm ~ 107lm)
• CRI: Both maintain CRI of 80
• Viewing angle: Both provide 120° viewing angle
• Physical footprint: Identical 5.00mm x 5.00mm dimensions
• Height: Identical 1.48mm seated height
• Thermal resistance: Identical 5°C/W package thermal resistance
• Moisture sensitivity: Identical MSL 2A (4 Weeks)
• Mounting type: Both are surface mount with 2-SMD, Gull Wing configuration

The substitute part operates at significantly lower voltage (3.3V vs 20V) and higher test current (300mA vs 60mA), resulting in improved efficiency (105 lm/W vs 87 lm/W). The substitute is active product status with RoHS compliance, whereas the main part is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MX6AWT-H1-R250-000CE5 is the designated substitute for the obsolete MX6SWT-H1-R250-000CE5. Selection of the substitute part is supported by:

• Active product status ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability
• RoHS compliance certification for regulatory alignment
• Identical optical and thermal characteristics (flux, CRI, viewing angle, thermal resistance)
• Identical physical footprint and mounting configuration enabling direct PCB compatibility
• Improved efficiency (105 lm/W vs 87 lm/W) and higher maximum current rating (1A vs 175mA)

Circuit design modifications are required to accommodate the lower forward voltage (3.3V vs 20V) and higher test current (300mA vs 60mA). The substitute part features an exposed pad variant of the 2-SMD Gull Wing package, which may provide improved thermal performance in applications requiring enhanced heat dissipation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MX6AWT-H1-R250-000CE5 be used as a direct replacement without circuit modifications?

A: No. While the optical output and physical footprint are identical, the forward voltage differs significantly (3.3V vs 20V). Current-limiting resistor values and power supply voltage must be recalculated to maintain proper LED operation and prevent damage.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The MX6SWT-H1-R250-000CE5 is classified as obsolete. The MX6AWT-H1-R250-000CE5 provides equivalent optical performance with active product status and improved efficiency.

Q: Are there package differences between these parts?

A: Both parts use 2-SMD Gull Wing configuration with identical 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint and 1.48mm height. The substitute features an exposed pad variant, which may offer improved thermal management.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The MX6AWT-H1-R250-000CE5 is RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) classifications.

Q: Is the color temperature identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are white neutral 4000K LEDs with identical CRI of 80, ensuring consistent color rendering in applications.

Q: What is the impact of the higher efficiency rating on thermal design?

A: The substitute part delivers 105 lm/W compared to 87 lm/W, representing improved energy conversion. Both parts maintain identical thermal resistance of 5°C/W, so thermal management requirements remain equivalent at equivalent power levels.
