Precautions For Use
Over-current-proof
Although the EHP-AX08 series has a conductive ESD protection mechanism, customer
must not use the device in reverse and should apply resistors for extra protection. Otherwise,
slight voltage shifts may cause significant current change resulting in burn out failure.
1. Storage
i. Do not open the packaging bag before the devices are ready to use.
ii. Before the package is opened, LEDs should be stored at temperatures less than 30℃
and humidity less than 50%.
iii. LEDs may be stored for 6 months. When the storage time has reached more than 6
months, LEDs should be stored in a sealed container filled with the Nitrogen gas.
iv. After the package is opened, LEDs should be stored at temperatures less than 30℃
and humidity less than 30%.
v. LEDs should be used within 168 hours (7 days) after the package is opened.
vi. Before using LEDs, baking treatment should be implemented based on the following
conditions: pre-curing at 60±5℃ for 24 hours.
2. Thermal Management
i. For maintaining the high flux output and achieving maximum reliability, EHP-AX08
series LEDs should be mounted on a metal core printed circuit board (MCPCB) or other
kinds of heat sink with proper thermal connection to dissipate approximately 3W of
thermal energy at 700mA operation.
ii. Heat dissipation or thermal conduction design is strongly recommended on PCB or
MCPCB for reflow soldering purposes. Please refer to soldering patterns on Page 2.
iii. Sufficient thermal management must be implemented. Please refer to the graph
“Forward Current Derating Curve “ on Page 9. The soldering temperature must be kept
under 60℃at the driving current 700mA.Otherwise, the junction temperature of die
may exceed over the limit at high current driving conditions and the LEDs’ lifetime may
be decrease dramatically.
iv. Special thermal designs are also recommended to take in outer heat sink design, such
as FR4 PCB on Aluminum with thermal vias or FPC on Aluminum with thermal
conductive adhesive, etc.
v. Sufficient thermal management must be conducted, or the die junction temperature will
be over the limit under large electronic driving and LED lifetime will decrease critically.
