Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MXC9-PW27-VT07 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain equivalent:

• Color Temperature (CCT): 2700K warm white specification must be maintained
• Forward Voltage (Vf): 6.1V nominal operating voltage ensures circuit compatibility
• CRI (Color Rendering Index): 90 minimum for color accuracy in lighting applications
• Mounting Type: Surface mount technology for PCB assembly compatibility
• Compliance Standards: ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating for manufacturing and storage requirements

The substitute part L130-2790003000W21 maintains these critical parameters while transitioning from the obsolete LUXEON 3535 2D package to the active LUXEON 3030 2D package. Both parts share identical color temperature, forward voltage, CRI rating, and compliance certifications, establishing functional equivalence for circuit-level substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The L130-2790003000W21 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete MXC9-PW27-VT07. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications at the circuit level: 6.1V forward voltage, 2700K color temperature, and 90 CRI rating. This ensures direct functional equivalence for driver circuits and optical performance in lighting applications.

The primary design consideration is the package transition from 3535 (4.60mm × 3.40mm) to 3030 (3.00mm × 3.00mm) format. This smaller footprint requires PCB layout modification but offers improved thermal performance (12°C/W versus 18°C/W), enabling better heat dissipation in compact designs. The substitute part's higher maximum current rating (240mA versus 200mA) and increased flux output (80lm versus 68lm) provide additional design margin.

Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage protocols. The substitute part's active product status guarantees long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete original.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can L130-2790003000W21 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for MXC9-PW27-VT07?

A: Electrical substitution is direct at the circuit level due to identical forward voltage (6.1V) and color temperature (2700K). However, the package size differs (3030 versus 3535 metric), requiring PCB footprint redesign. The smaller 3030 package necessitates layout modifications but maintains all functional electrical characteristics.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are package size, thermal resistance, and maximum current rating. The substitute features a smaller 3030 package with improved thermal performance (12°C/W versus 18°C/W) and higher maximum current capability (240mA versus 200mA). Flux output increases from 68lm to 80lm at the respective test currents.

Q: Are compliance certifications equivalent?

A: Yes. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings (3, 168 Hours), ensuring equivalent compliance with manufacturing standards and moisture sensitivity requirements.

Q: Why is the substitute part recommended?

A: The original MXC9-PW27-VT07 is classified as obsolete, making the active L130-2790003000W21 the manufacturer-designated alternative. The substitute maintains all critical electrical and optical parameters while providing improved thermal characteristics and guaranteed long-term availability.

Q: Does the higher flux output of the substitute affect circuit design?

A: The increased flux (80lm versus 68lm) represents improved efficiency in the newer package design. Existing driver circuits operate within the substitute's electrical specifications (6.1V, 120mA test current, 240mA maximum). Optical output will be higher at equivalent drive currents, which may require brightness adjustment in the application if constant luminous output is required.
