Soldering
Recommended reflow soldering condition:
(a) Reflow soldering must not be done more than 2 times. Do observe necessary precautions of handling
moisture sensitive device as stated in below section.
(b) Do not apply any pressure or force on the LED during reflow and after reflow when the LED is still hot.
(c) It is preferred to use reflow soldering to solder the LED. But if unavoidable (such as rework), manual hand
soldering can be used but must be strictly controlled to condition below:
- Soldering iron tip temperature = 310°C max
- Soldering duration = 2sec max
- Number of cycle = 1 only
- Power of soldering iron = 50W max
(d) Do not touch the LED package body with the soldering iron except for the soldering terminals as it may
cause damage to the LED.
(e) User is advised to confirm beforehand whether the functionality and performance of the LED is affected by
hand soldering.
