4. Typical Optical Characteristics Curves

The datasheet provides several characteristic curves measured at Ta=25°C unless otherwise specified:

4.1 Forward Voltage vs Forward Current

Figure 1-6 shows the forward voltage as a function of forward current. At 20mA, forward voltage is approximately 1.8-2.4V depending on bin. The curve indicates a typical diode exponential shape.

4.2 Forward Current vs Relative Intensity

Figure 1-7 shows that relative intensity increases with forward current. At 20mA, relative intensity is about 1.0 (normalized). At 30mA (maximum), intensity is higher but caution is needed due to thermal limits.

4.3 Pin Temperature vs Relative Intensity

Figure 1-8 indicates that as ambient temperature rises, relative intensity decreases. At 100°C, intensity drops to approximately 0.8 of the value at 25°C.

4.4 Pin Temperature vs Forward Current

Figure 1-9 shows the derating curve: the maximum allowable forward current decreases as pin temperature increases. At 100°C, the maximum current is about 10mA.

4.5 Forward Current vs Dominant Wavelength

Figure 1-10 demonstrates a slight blue shift with increasing current: at 20mA the wavelength is around 570nm, decreasing to about 568nm at 30mA.

4.6 Relative Intensity vs Wavelength

Figure 1-11 shows the spectral distribution. The peak emission is around 570nm with a half bandwidth of 15nm. The spectrum is narrow and typical for green-yellow LEDs.

4.7 Radiation Pattern

Figure 1-12 illustrates the radiation characteristics. The LED has a wide viewing angle of 140°, which is beneficial for indicator applications requiring broad coverage.

5. Packaging Information

5.3 Label Information

Each reel is labeled with part number, spec number, lot number, bin code (including flux, chromaticity bin, forward voltage, wavelength code), quantity, and date code.

5.4 Moisture Resistant Packing

Reels are sealed in a moisture barrier bag together with a desiccant and humidity indicator card. The bag is labeled with ESD caution and moisture sensitivity level notice.

5.5 Reliability Test Items and Conditions

The LEDs have been subjected to reliability tests according to JEDEC standards:

Acceptance criteria: 0 failures allowed out of 22 pieces for each test.

5.6 Failure Criteria

After reliability tests, the following changes are considered failures:

6. SMT Reflow Soldering Instructions

6.1 Reflow Profile Parameters

The recommended reflow soldering profile is provided to ensure proper soldering without damaging the LED. Key parameters:

Reflow should not be performed more than twice. If more than 24 hours between two soldering steps, the LEDs may absorb moisture and get damaged.

6.2 Hand Soldering and Repair

Manual soldering: iron temperature below 300°C, time less than 3 seconds, only once. Repair should be avoided; if necessary, use a double-head soldering iron.

7. Handling and Storage Precautions

7.1 Environmental Considerations

The operating environment should have sulfur compound concentration below 100PPM. Halogen content: Br < 900PPM, Cl < 900PPM, total Br+Cl < 1500PPM. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can penetrate silicone encapsulant and cause discoloration; avoid adhesives that outgas organic vapor.

7.2 Mechanical Handling

Use tweezers along side surfaces; do not touch or press the silicone lens directly. Avoid mechanical stress after soldering. Do not warp the PCB.

7.3 Storage Conditions

ConditionTemperatureHumidityTime
Before opening bag≤30°C≤75%Within 1 year from date
After opening bag≤30°C≤60%168 hours (7 days)
Baking60±5°C-≥24 hours

If the moisture indicator card shows excessive humidity or storage time exceeded, baking is required.

7.4 ESD and Circuit Design

LEDs are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electrical overstress (EOS). Proper ESD protection measures should be implemented. In circuit design, always include a current-limiting resistor to prevent current exceeding the absolute maximum rating. Reverse voltage must be avoided as it can cause migration and damage.

7.5 Cleaning

If cleaning is necessary, use isopropyl alcohol. Do not use solvents that may attack the package resin. Ultrasonic cleaning is not recommended as it may damage the LED.

Photoelectric Performance

Term Unit/Representation Simple Explanation Why Important
Luminous Efficacy lm/W (lumens per watt) Light output per watt of electricity, higher means more energy efficient. Directly determines energy efficiency grade and electricity cost.
Luminous Flux lm (lumens) Total light emitted by source, commonly called "brightness". Determines if the light is bright enough.
Viewing Angle ° (degrees), e.g., 120° Angle where light intensity drops to half, determines beam width. Affects illumination range and uniformity.
CCT (Color Temperature) K (Kelvin), e.g., 2700K/6500K Warmth/coolness of light, lower values yellowish/warm, higher whitish/cool. Determines lighting atmosphere and suitable scenarios.
CRI / Ra Unitless, 0–100 Ability to render object colors accurately, Ra≥80 is good. Affects color authenticity, used in high-demand places like malls, museums.
SDCM MacAdam ellipse steps, e.g., "5-step" Color consistency metric, smaller steps mean more consistent color. Ensures uniform color across same batch of LEDs.
Dominant Wavelength nm (nanometers), e.g., 620nm (red) Wavelength corresponding to color of colored LEDs. Determines hue of red, yellow, green monochrome LEDs.
Spectral Distribution Wavelength vs intensity curve Shows intensity distribution across wavelengths. Affects color rendering and quality.

Electrical Parameters

Term Symbol Simple Explanation Design Considerations
Forward Voltage Vf Minimum voltage to turn on LED, like "starting threshold". Driver voltage must be ≥Vf, voltages add up for series LEDs.
Forward Current If Current value for normal LED operation. Usually constant current drive, current determines brightness & lifespan.
Max Pulse Current Ifp Peak current tolerable for short periods, used for dimming or flashing. Pulse width & duty cycle must be strictly controlled to avoid damage.
Reverse Voltage Vr Max reverse voltage LED can withstand, beyond may cause breakdown. Circuit must prevent reverse connection or voltage spikes.
Thermal Resistance Rth (°C/W) Resistance to heat transfer from chip to solder, lower is better. High thermal resistance requires stronger heat dissipation.
ESD Immunity V (HBM), e.g., 1000V Ability to withstand electrostatic discharge, higher means less vulnerable. Anti-static measures needed in production, especially for sensitive LEDs.

Thermal Management & Reliability

Term Key Metric Simple Explanation Impact
Junction Temperature Tj (°C) Actual operating temperature inside LED chip. Every 10°C reduction may double lifespan; too high causes light decay, color shift.
