MXC9-PW27-VC03 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MXC9-PW27-VC03 is a LUXEON 3535 2D warm white LED manufactured by Lumileds, operating at 2700K color temperature with a forward voltage of 6.1V and test current of 100mA. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The LUXEON 3535 2D series has been superseded by newer product lines while maintaining similar electrical and optical characteristics, necessitating careful parameter matching for direct replacement scenarios.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MXC9-PW27-VC03 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Color temperature (CCT): 2700K warm white
• Forward voltage (Vf): 6.1V nominal
• Color Rendering Index (CRI): 90
• Manufacturer: Lumileds (same product family)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Thermal resistance characteristics suitable for equivalent thermal management

Regulatory Compliance:

• RoHS3 compliance maintained
• MSL rating: 3 (168 Hours)

The substitute part L130-2790003000W21 maintains electrical equivalence through identical forward voltage and color temperature specifications. The primary difference is package format transition from 3535 to 3030 metric dimensions, which represents a standard product line evolution within the LUXEON family while preserving functional performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The L130-2790003000W21 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete MXC9-PW27-VC03. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications (6.1V forward voltage, 2700K color temperature, 90 CRI), ensuring functional equivalence in circuit operation.

The substitute part offers improved thermal performance (12°C/W versus 18°C/W), enhanced flux output (80lm versus 68lm at test current), and active product status with established supply chain availability. The 3030 package format is smaller than the 3535, requiring PCB layout modification but providing space optimization benefits.

Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings, supporting equivalent handling and storage protocols. The substitute part is available in standard Tape & Reel packaging, facilitating automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the L130-2790003000W21 directly replace the MXC9-PW27-VC03 without circuit modification?

A: Electrical substitution is direct due to identical forward voltage (6.1V) and color temperature (2700K). PCB layout modification is required due to package size difference (3535 to 3030 metric), as the footprint dimensions differ. The substitute part's smaller form factor and lower thermal resistance may provide design benefits.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are package format (3535 versus 3030), flux output (68lm versus 80lm at respective test currents), thermal resistance (18°C/W versus 12°C/W), and product status (obsolete versus active). Electrical characteristics (voltage, color temperature, CRI) remain identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or handling differences?

A: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings (3, 168 Hours). Handling, storage, and moisture control protocols are equivalent.

Q: Why is the substitute part's test current higher (120mA versus 100mA)?

A: The 3030 package format operates at a different nominal test current while maintaining the same forward voltage. This reflects the product line's design specifications and does not affect substitution validity when forward voltage is matched.

Q: Is the improved thermal resistance of the substitute part beneficial?

A: The lower thermal resistance (12°C/W) of the L130-2790003000W21 indicates improved heat dissipation characteristics, which can reduce junction temperature in equivalent operating conditions and may extend component lifetime in thermally constrained applications.
