KIT NUMBER SYSTEM
All dimensions in mm.Cree LED lamps are tested and sorted into performance bins. A bin is specied by ranges of color,
forward voltage, and brightness. Sorted LEDs are packaged for shipping in various convenient options. Please refer to
the “Cree LED Lamp Packaging Standard” document for more information about shipping and packaging options.
Cree LEDs are sold by order codes in combinations of bins called kits. Order codes are congured in the following man-

REFLOW SOLDERING
The LED soldering specication is shown below(suitable for both leaded solder & lead-free solder):
Manual Soldering Solder Dipping
Soldering iron 35 W max Preheat 110 ºC max
Temperature 300 ºC max
Preheat time 60 seconds max

Soldering time 3 seconds max Dipping time 5 seconds max
Position Not less than 3 mm from the base of the package. Position Not less than 3 mm from the base of the package.
• Manual soldering onto the PCB is not recommended because soldering time is uncontrollable.

Preheat
Do not apply any stress to the LED package, particularly when heated.
Only bottom preheat is suggested & should not preheat on top in order to reduce thermal stress experienced by the
LEDs.
The LEDs must not be re used once they have been extracted from PCB.
After soldering the LEDs, the package should be protected from mechanical shock or vibration until the LEDs have
reached 40 ºC or below.
Precautions must be taken as mechanical stress on the LEDs may be caused by PCB warpage or from the clinching
and cutting of the LED leads.
When it is necessary to clam the LEDs during soldering, it is important to ensure no mechanical stress is exerted on
the LEDs.
Cut the LED lead at normal room temperature. Lead cutting at high temperature may cause failure of the LEDs.
Refer to "http://www.cree.com/led-components/media/documents/sh-HB.pdf" for soldering & handling details.
