MXC9-PW27-VG06 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MXC9-PW27-VG06 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, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The substitute part maintains functional compatibility through matching electrical characteristics and color specifications while transitioning to a current product line.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MXC9-PW27-VG06 is based on the following critical parameters:

• Color temperature and CRI: Both parts operate at 2700K warm white with CRI 90, ensuring identical color output
• Forward voltage: Both parts maintain 6.1V Vf, allowing direct circuit compatibility
• Mounting type: Both are surface mount components, compatible with standard PCB assembly processes
• Compliance certifications: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and MSL 3 rated, meeting regulatory and handling requirements
• Manufacturer: Both parts are manufactured by Lumileds, ensuring consistent quality and performance standards

The primary difference is the package transition from 3535 (1414 metric) to 3030 (1212 metric) form factor, which requires PCB layout modification but maintains electrical interchangeability through identical voltage and color specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The L130-2790003000W21 is the designated manufacturer substitute for the obsolete MXC9-PW27-VG06. Selection of this part is based on:

• Product status alignment: The substitute is active and currently manufactured, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Electrical compatibility: Identical forward voltage (6.1V) and color temperature (2700K) enable direct circuit operation without driver modifications
• Regulatory compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings, satisfying manufacturing and storage requirements
• Thermal performance: The substitute exhibits improved thermal resistance (12°C/W vs. 18°C/W), providing enhanced thermal management in the smaller package
• Manufacturer continuity: Both parts are Lumileds products, maintaining consistent quality standards and performance characteristics

PCB layout modification is required due to package size reduction from 3535 to 3030 metric dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the L130-2790003000W21 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MXC9-PW27-VG06?

A: Electrical compatibility is direct due to matching forward voltage and color specifications. However, PCB layout modification is required because the substitute uses a smaller 3030 package (3.00mm x 3.00mm) compared to the original 3535 package (4.60mm x 3.40mm). Footprint redesign is necessary.

Q: Are there differences in light output between these parts?

A: At their respective test currents, the substitute produces higher absolute flux (80lm at 120mA vs. 68lm at 100mA). Lumens per watt efficiency is comparable (109 lm/W vs. 111 lm/W). Color temperature and CRI remain identical at 2700K and 90 respectively.

Q: What are the thermal implications of switching to the smaller package?

A: The 3030 package exhibits lower thermal resistance (12°C/W vs. 18°C/W), indicating improved heat dissipation characteristics. This is beneficial for thermal management, though the smaller footprint may require adjusted thermal design considerations in the PCB layout.

Q: Are both parts compliant with the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the MXC9-PW27-VG06 and L130-2790003000W21 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 3 ratings (168 hours). Moisture sensitivity handling and storage requirements are identical.

Q: What is the impact of the higher maximum current rating on the substitute?

A: The L130-2790003000W21 supports 240mA maximum current versus 200mA for the original part. This provides additional operational headroom but does not affect direct substitution at the original 100mA test current specification.

Q: Is the substitute available in the same packaging format?

A: The substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for high-volume production. The original part packaging format was not specified in the available data.
