Soldering Conditions

• Maximum allowable soldering conditions are:
  • Solder dipping:  260ºC maximum, 5 seconds maximum, one time.
  • Soldering iron:   350ºC maximum, 5 seconds maximum, one time.
• Do not make contact between the molten solder and the resin.
• Do not adjust the soldered position after soldering.
• Do not put any stress on the leads, particularly when heated.

Lead forming and cutting

• Lead forming must be done below the tie bar cutting portion.
• Do not stress the resin case when forming a lead.
• When lead forming requires cutting of the lead, the lead must be cut before soldering.
• Cutting of a lead must be done at room temperature.

Assembly

• Do not put any stress to the lead frame during an assembly operation.
• When mounting or inserting products into PCBs, the pitch between the mounting holes musts match the pitch of the lead frame.

Static Electricity and Over-Voltage/Over-Current Protection

• Handle With Care!  --  These products are sensitive to static electricity charge.
• Voltage and Currents which exceed the Absolute Maximum Rating of the Products will damage and possibly cause electrical destruction of the Products.
• A protection device, which does not exceed the maximum rating for the surge current during on/off switching, should be included as part of the LED driving circuitry.
• Proper grounding of Products (via 1Megohm resistor):
  • Use a conductive mat.
  • Use semi-conductive working uniform and shoes.
  • Use semi-conductive containers.
• When grinding, the use of a resisting element, such as a conductive mat, is effective in eliminating static electrical discharge where the Product directly touches a low resistive part, such as a metal face.
• The tip of a soldering iron should be connected to ground.
• An ionizer should be installed where there is a high risk of static generation.

NOTE:  Users are required to verify the above listed countermeasures when problems occur due to static electrical discharge.

Safety Precautions

• The light output of the Products may cause injury to the human eyes in circumstances where the Products are directly viewed for more than a few seconds.
• Users are requested to comply with the laws of public regulations concerning safety.
