Recommended board reflow direction: TIME c. Do not apply any pressure or force on the LED during reflow and after reflow when the LED is still hot. d. It is preferred that you use reflow soldering to solder the LED. Use hand soldering only for rework if unavoidable but must be strictly controlled to the following conditions: - Soldering iron tip temperature = 32 C max. - Soldering duration = 3 sec max. - Number of cycles = 1 only - Power of soldering iron = 5 W max. e. Do not touch the LED body with a hot soldering iron except the soldering terminals as this may damage the LED. f. For de-soldering, it is recommended that you use a double flat tip. g. Please confirm beforehand whether the functionality and performance of the LED is affected by hand soldering. REFLOW DIRECTION 11

PRECAUTIONARY NOTES 1. Handling precautions The encapsulation material of the LED is made of silicone for better product reliability. Compared to epoxy encapsulant, which is hard and brittle, silicone is softer and flexible. Observe special handling precautions during assembly of silicone-encapsulated LED products. Failure to comply might lead to damage and premature failure of the LED. For more information, refer to Application Note AN5288, Silicone Encapsulation for LED: Advantages and Handling Precautions. a. Do not poke sharp objects into the silicone encapsulant. Sharp objects such as tweezers and syringes might cause excessive force to be applied or even pierce through the silicone, inducing failures in the LED die or wire bond. b. Do not touch the silicone encapsulant. Uncontrolled force acting on the silicone encapsulant might result in excessive stress on the wire bond. The LED should be held only by the body. c. Do no stack assembled PCBs together. Use an appropriate rack to hold the PCBs. d. The surface of silicone material attracts more dust and dirt compared to epoxy due to its surface tackiness. To remove foreign particles on the surface of silicone, a cotton bud can be used with isopropyl alcohol (IPA). During cleaning, rub the surface gently without applying excessive pressure on the silicone. Ultrasonic cleaning is not recommended. e. For automated pick and place, Avago has tested the following nozzle size to work fine with this LED. However, due to possible variations in other parameters such as pick and place machine maker/model and other settings of the machine, it is recommended that you verify that the nozzle selected will not damage the LED. ID OD ID = 1.7 mm OD = 3.5 mm 2. Handling of moisture-sensitive device This product has a Moisture Sensitive Level 3 rating per JEDEC J-STD-2. Refer to Avago Application Note AN535, Handling of Moisture Sensitive Surface Mount Devices, for additional details and a review of proper handling procedures. a. Before use - An unopened moisture barrier bag (MBB) can be stored at < 4 C/9% RH for 12 months. If the actual shelf life has exceeded 12 months and the Humidity Indicator Card (HIC) indicates that baking is not required, then it is safe to reflow the LEDs per the original MSL rating. - It is recommended that the MBB not be opened before assembly (e.g., for IQC). b. Control after opening the MBB - Read the HIC immediately upon opening the MBB. - The LEDs must be kept at < 3 C/6% RH at all times and all high temperature related processes including soldering, curing or rework must be completed within 168 hours. c. Control for unfinished reel - Unused LEDs must be stored in a sealed MBB with desiccant or desiccator at < 5% RH. d. Control of assembled boards - If the PCB soldered with the LEDs is to be subjected to other high temperature processes, then the PCB must be stored in a sealed MBB with desiccant or desiccator at < 5% RH to ensure that all LEDs have not exceeded their floor life of 168 hours. e. Baking is required if: - The HIC indicator is not BROWN at 1% and is AZURE at 5%. - The LEDs are exposed to a condition of > 3 C/6% RH at any time. - The LED floor life exceeded 168 hours. The recommended baking condition is: 6 ± 5 C for 2 hours. Baking should be done only once. f. Storage - The soldering terminals of these Avago LEDs are silver-plated. If the LEDs are exposed in ambient environment for too long, the silver plating might be oxidized and thus affect its solderability performance. As such, unused LEDs must be kept in a sealed MBB with desiccant or in desiccator at < 5% RH. 12

3. Application precautions a. Drive current of the LED must not exceed the maximum allowable limit across temperature as stated in the datasheet. Constant current driving is recommended to ensure consistent performance. b. The LED is not intended for reverse bias. Do use other appropriate components for such a purpose. When driving the LED in matrix form, make sure the reverse bias voltage does not exceed the allowable limit for the LED. c. Do not use the LED in the vicinity of material with sulfur content, in an environment of high gaseous sulfur compound and corrosive elements. Examples of materials that may contain sulfur are rubber gasket, Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) silicone rubber, rubber gloves, and so on. Prolonged exposure to such an environment may affect the optical characteristics and product life. d. Avoid a rapid change in ambient temperature especially in a high humidity environment as this will cause condensation on the LED. 4. Thermal management Optical, electrical and reliability characteristics of LED are affected by temperature. The junction temperature (T J ) of the LED must be kept below the allowable limit at all times. T J can be calculated as follows: T J = T A + R qj-a I F V Fmax where T A = ambient temperature [ C] R qj-a = thermal resistance from LED junction to ambient [ C/W] I F = forward current [A] V Fmax = maximum forward voltage [V] The complication of using this formula lies in T A and R qj-a. Actual T A is sometimes subjective and hard to determine. R qj-a varies from system to system depending on design and is usually not known. Another way of calculating T J is by using solder point temperature T S as shown as follows: where T J = T S + R qj-s I F V Fmax T S = LED solder point temperature as shown in the following illustration [ C] R qj-s = thermal resistance from junction to solder point [ C/W] Ts point (PIN 4) T S can be easily measured by having a thermocouple mounted on the soldering joint, as shown in this illustration, while R qj-s is provided in the datasheet. Please verify the T S of the LED in the final product to ensure that the LEDs are operated within all maximum ratings stated in the datasheet. 5. Eye safety precautions LEDs may pose optical hazards when in operation. It is not advisable to view directly at operating LEDs as it may be harmful to the eyes. For safety reasons, use appropriate shielding or personal protective equipment.
