1. Product Overview

LTW-110ZDS5 ni kifaa cha kusakinishwa kwenye uso (SMD) cha taa ya kutolea mwanga (LED) iliyoundwa kwa ajili ya mkusanyiko wa kisasa wa elektroniki wenye nafasi ndogo. Ni sehemu ya familia ya vipengele vidogo vilivyoboreshwa kwa michakato ya kuchukua-na-kuweka kiotomatiki na ya kuuza kwa kuyeyusha. Modeli hii maalum hutumia chipu ya semikondukta ya InGaN (Indiamu Galiamu Nitraidi) kutoa mwanga mweupe, iliyowekwa kwenye usanidi wa kifurushi cha kutazama kwa upande. Mwelekeo huu ni muhimu hasa kwa matumizi ambapo mwanga unahitaji kutolewa sambamba na uso wa bodi ya mzunguko wa kuchapishwa (PCB), kama vile kwenye paneli zilizowashwa kwa makali au viashiria vya hali vinavyoweza kutazamwa kutoka upande wa kifaa.

Falsafa ya msingi ya muundo nyuma ya kijenzi hiki ni kutoa chanzo cha mwanga cha kuaminika na cha mkali ambacho kinaingizwa kwa urahisi katika mtiririko wa utengenezaji wa kiasi kikubwa. Kifurushi chake kinatii viwango vya EIA (Muungano wa Viwanda vya Elektroniki), kuhakikisha utangamano na vifaa vya kiwango cha tasnia vya kushughulikia na kuweka. Kijenzi hiki kinasambazwa kwenye mkanda wa kubeba wa milimita 8 ulioviringishwa kwenye reeli zenye kipenyo cha inchi 7, ambayo ni muundo wa kawaida wa laini za usanikishaji kiotomatiki, na hurahisisha upakiaji wenye ufanisi katika mashine za kuweka.

2. Technical Parameters: In-Depth Objective Interpretation

The performance of the LTW-110ZDS5 is defined by a comprehensive set of electrical, optical, and thermal parameters. Understanding these specifications is crucial for proper circuit design and ensuring long-term reliability.

2.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings

These ratings define the stress limits beyond which permanent damage to the device may occur. Operation under or at these limits is not guaranteed and should be avoided in normal use.

• Power Dissipation (Pd): 70 mW. O nọ́ yẹn ni iye agbara iná tó pọ̀ jùlẹ tó ṣeé fi yọ iná kúrò nínú ẹ̀rọ náà láìsí kí ó bàjẹ́. Bí a bá kọjá e yìí, ó lè fa ìwọ̀n ìgbóná inú ẹ̀rọ tó pọ̀ jù, ìdínkù ìtànṣán, àti ìdínkù ìgbésí ayé ẹ̀rọ náà.
• Forward Current (DC): 20 mA. This is the maximum continuous direct current recommended for reliable operation. The typical operating condition specified in the datasheet is 5mA.
• Peak Forward Current: 100 mA, but only under pulsed conditions (1/10 duty cycle, 0.1ms pulse width). This allows for brief moments of higher brightness, such as in blinking indicators, without overheating.
• Operating Temperature Range: -20°C to +80°C. The device is guaranteed to function within this ambient temperature range.
• Storage Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C. The device can be stored without operation within this wider range.
• Infrared Soldering Condition: Withstands 260°C peak temperature for 10 seconds. This is a critical parameter for Pb-free assembly processes, defining the thermal profile the component can endure during reflow soldering.

2.2 Electrical and Optical Characteristics (at Ta=25°C)

These are the typical performance parameters measured under standard test conditions.

• Luminous Intensity (Iv): Ranges from 28.0 mcd (millicandela) Minimum to 112.0 mcd Maximum at a test current (IF) of 5mA. The actual value for a specific unit falls into a bin rank (N, P, Q). Intensity is measured with a filter simulating the human eye's photopic response (CIE curve).
• Viewing Angle (2θ1/2): Digiri 130. Wannan shine cikakken kusurwar da ƙarfin haske ya ragu zuwa rabin ƙimar kololuwarsa (wanda aka auna a digiri 0, kai tsaye da guntun). Irin wannan faɗin kusurwar kallo yana da halayyar LEDs na kallon gefe kuma yana ba da haske mai faɗi da daidaito.
• Chromaticity Coordinates (x, y): Typical values are x=0.304, y=0.301 at 5mA. These coordinates on the CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram define the perceived color of the white light. Specific units are classified into hue bins (S1-S6). A tolerance of ±0.01 is applied to these coordinates.
• Forward Voltage (VF): Between 2.70V and 3.15V at 5mA. This is the voltage drop across the LED when conducting the specified current. Units are binned into groups (L7, L8, L9) based on this parameter. A lower VF generally indicates higher electrical efficiency.
• Reverse Current (IR): 0.6 to 1.2 μA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 10mA. Critical Note: The datasheet explicitly states this test condition is for IR (Infrared) testing only and that the device is not designed for reverse operation. Applying a reverse bias in circuit could damage the LED.

2.3 Thermal Characteristics

While not explicitly given as a thermal resistance (RθJA) figure, the thermal performance is implied through the power dissipation rating (70mW) and the operating temperature range. The maximum junction temperature is a key factor in LED longevity. Operating the LED at currents below the maximum, ensuring adequate PCB copper area for heat sinking (as shown in the recommended pad layout), and maintaining ambient temperature within spec are all essential for managing thermal performance.

3. Bin Ranking System Explanation

To account for natural variations in semiconductor manufacturing, LEDs are sorted into performance bins. This allows designers to select components with tightly controlled characteristics for their application.

3.1 Forward Voltage (VF) Rank

LEDs are sorted based on their forward voltage drop at 5mA.
- Bin L7: VF = 2.70V to 2.85V
- Bin L8: VF = 2.85V to 3.00V
- Bin L9: VF = 3.00V to 3.15V
Tolerance on each bin is ±0.1V. Selecting LEDs from the same VF bin ensures consistent brightness when driven by a constant voltage source or simplifies current-limiting resistor calculation for series strings.

3.2 Luminous Intensity (Iv) Rank

LEDs are sorted based on their light output intensity at 5mA.
- Bin N: Iv = 28.0 mcd to 45.0 mcd
- Bin P: Iv = 45.0 mcd to 71.0 mcd
- Bin Q: Iv = 71.0 mcd to 112.0 mcd
Tolerance on each bin is ±15%. This binning is crucial for applications requiring uniform brightness across multiple LEDs, such as in backlighting arrays or multi-indicator panels.

3.3 Hue (Chromaticity) Rank

This is the most complex binning, defining the color point of the white light on the CIE 1931 diagram. Six bins (S1 through S6) are defined, each representing a small quadrilateral area on the (x,y) coordinate plane. For example, Bin S3 covers coordinates approximately from (0.294, 0.254) to (0.314, 0.315). A tolerance of ±0.01 is applied. This binning is essential for applications where color consistency is critical, preventing noticeable differences in white tint (e.g., cool white vs. warm white) between adjacent LEDs.

4. Performance Curve Analysis

The datasheet includes typical characteristic curves which provide valuable insights beyond the tabulated data points.

4.3 Relative Luminous Intensity vs. Ambient Temperature

This curve is critical for understanding thermal effects. As the ambient temperature rises, the luminous intensity of an LED generally decreases. The slope of this curve indicates the thermal sensitivity of the device. Designers must derate the expected light output if the LED will operate in a high-temperature environment.

5. Mechanical and Package Information

5.1 Package Dimensions

The datasheet provides a detailed mechanical drawing of the LED. Key dimensions include the overall length, width, and height, the size and position of the semiconductor chip cavity, and the location and size of the solderable terminals. All dimensions are in millimeters with a standard tolerance of ±0.1mm unless otherwise noted. The side-view design means the primary light-emitting surface is on the longer side of the package.

5.2 Recommended PCB Attachment Pad and Polarity

A land pattern (footprint) recommendation is provided for PCB design. This shows the optimal size and shape of the copper pads to ensure good solder joint formation during reflow. The diagram clearly indicates the anode and cathode connections, which is essential for correct orientation during placement and to ensure the LED lights up when power is applied. The cathode is typically identified by a marker on the LED package itself, such as a notch, dot, or green marking.

6. Soldering and Assembly Guidelines

6.1 IR Reflow Soldering Profile (Pb-Free Process)

A suggested reflow profile is provided for lead-free soldering:
- Pre-heat: 150-200°C.
- Pre-heat Time: Maximum 120 seconds.
- Peak Temperature: Maximum 260°C.
- Time Above Liquidus (at peak): Maximum 10 seconds, and this reflow process should not be performed more than two times.
The datasheet correctly notes that the optimal profile depends on the specific PCB assembly (board thickness, number of components, solder paste). The profile should be characterized for the specific production line but should remain within these component-level limits.

6.2 Hand Soldering (If Required)

For repair or prototyping:
- Soldering Iron Temperature: Maximum 300°C.
- Soldering Time: Maximum 3 seconds per joint.
- This should be performed only once to minimize thermal stress.

6.3 Cleaning

If cleaning after soldering is necessary, only specified solvents should be used to avoid damaging the plastic package. The datasheet recommends immersion in ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol at normal temperature for less than one minute. Unspecified chemical liquids must be avoided.

7. Storage and Handling Precautions

7.1 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitivity

The LED can be damaged by static electricity and electrical surges. It is recommended to use a wrist strap or anti-static gloves when handling. All equipment, including workstations and soldering irons, must be properly grounded.

7.2 Moisture Sensitivity and Storage

The component has a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 3.

9.2 Design for Reliability and Longevity

• Current Derating: Operating the LED at or below the typical 5mA current, rather than the absolute maximum 20mA, will significantly extend its operational life and improve long-term luminous maintenance.
• Thermal Management: Use the recommended PCB pad layout, which includes thermal relief connections. For high-power or high-ambient-temperature applications, consider adding additional copper area or thermal vias under the LED's footprint to conduct heat away from the junction.
• Reverse Voltage Protection: As the device is not designed for reverse bias, ensure the circuit design prevents this condition. In AC or bipolar circuits, a parallel protection diode may be necessary.

10. Technical Comparison and Differentiation

Compared to older LED technologies like GaP (Gallium Phosphide) or standard GaN devices, the InGaN chip in the LTW-110ZDS5 offers superior luminous efficacy, meaning more light output per unit of electrical power consumed. The side-view package differentiates it from top-view LEDs, solving specific optical design challenges where lateral light emission is required. Its compatibility with high-temperature Pb-free reflow profiles makes it a modern component suitable for current environmental regulations and manufacturing standards, unlike older components that may only be suitable for leaded solder or wave soldering.

11. Frequently Asked Questions (Based on Technical Parameters)

Q: Can I drive this LED directly from a 3.3V microcontroller pin?
A: Possibly, but with caution. The typical VF is 3.0V, leaving only 0.3V for the current-limiting resistor. At 5mA, this requires a 60 Ohm resistor. The low voltage headroom means brightness may be inconsistent due to small variations in VF or supply voltage. A dedicated LED driver or a higher supply voltage is more reliable.

Q: What does the "ZDS5" in the part number signify?
A: While the full naming convention isn't detailed here, in many manufacturer systems, such suffixes indicate specific attributes like color (White), package style (Side-view), binning (intensity/color rank), and termination plating. Refer to the manufacturer's product guide for the exact breakdown.

Q: How do I ensure color consistency in my multi-LED design?
A: Order components from the same Hue (S1-S6) bin and the same Luminous Intensity (N, P, Q) bin. Work with your distributor to specify these bin codes for your order to guarantee matched performance.

Q: Is this LED suitable for automotive interior lighting?
A: The operating temperature range (-20°C to +80°C) may cover some interior applications, but automotive grades typically require a wider range (e.g., -40°C to +105°C or 125°C) and more rigorous reliability qualifications (AEC-Q102). This datasheet does not claim such compliance, so it is intended for "ordinary electronic equipment" as defined in the cautions section.

12. Practical Use Case Example

Scenario: Designing a status indicator panel for a network switch.
The panel has 10 identical status LEDs for link/activity. Requirements: uniform white color, consistent brightness, and reliable operation 24/7.
Design Steps:
1. Circuit Design: Use a stable 5V rail. Calculate a series resistor for ~5mA drive current per LED. Assuming VF bin L8 (2.85-3.00V), use the max VF for worst-case brightness calculation: R = (5V - 3.0V) / 0.005A = 400 Ohms. 2. Component Selection: Specify to the supplier: Part No. LTW-110ZDS5, with all 10 pieces from the same Hue Bin (e.g., S3) and the same Luminous Intensity Bin (e.g., P). This ensures visual consistency. 3. PCB Layout: Implement the recommended solder pad footprint from the datasheet. Connect the cathode pads to a common ground plane for good heat dissipation. 4. Assembly: Follow the Pb-free reflow profile guidelines, ensuring peak temperature does not exceed 260°C. 5.
