THERMAL DESIGN

The maximum forward current is determined by the thermal resistance between the LED junction and ambient. Given

an existing thermal resistance of 12 °C/W or 15 °C/W between the junction and the solder point, it is crucial for the end

product to be designed in a manner that minimizes the thermal resistance from the solder point to ambient in order to

optimize lamp life and optical characteristics.

REFLOW SOLDERING CHARACTERISTICS

In testing, Cree has found XLamp XR-C LEDs to be compatible with JEDEC J-STD-020C, using the parameters listed

below. As a general guideline, Cree recommends that users follow the recommended soldering prole provided by the

manufacturer of solder paste used.

NOTES

Lumen Maintenance Projections

Based on internal long-term reliability testing and

standardized forecasting methods, Cree projects XLamp

LEDs to maintain an average of 70% lumen maintenance

after 50,000 hours, provided the LED junction temperature

is maintained at or below 80 °C.

Please read the XLamp Reliability application note for

more details on Cree’s lumen maintenance testing and

forecasting. Please read the XLamp Thermal Management

application note for details on how thermal design,

ambient temperature, and drive current affect the LED

junction temperature.

Moisture Sensitivity

XLamp LEDs are shipped in sealed, moisture-barrier

bags (MBB) designed for long shelf life. If XLamp LEDs

are exposed to moist environments after opening the

MBB packaging but before soldering, damage to the LED

may occur during the soldering operation. The following

derating table denes the maximum exposure time

(in days) for an XLamp LED in the listed humidity and

temperature conditions. LEDs with exposure time longer

than the time specied below must be baked according to

the baking conditions listed below.

Temp. Maximum Percent Relative Humidity

30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90%

30 ºC 9 5 4 3 1 1 1

25 ºC 12 7 5 4 2 1 1

20 ºC 17 9 7 6 2 2 1

Cree recommends keeping XLamp LEDs in their sealed

moisture-barrier packaging until immediately prior to use.

Cree also recommends returning any unused LEDS to

the resealable moisture-barrier bag and closing the bag

immediately after use.

Baking Conditions

It is not necessary to bake all XLamp LEDs. Only the LEDs

that meet all of the following criteria must be baked:

• LEDs that have been removed from the original MBB

packaging.

• LEDs that have been exposed to a humid environment

longer than listed in the Moisture Sensitivity section

above.

• LEDs that have not been soldered.

LEDs should be baked at 80 ºC for 24 hours. LEDs

may be baked on the original reels. Remove LEDs from

MBB packaging before baking. Do not bake parts at

temperatures higher than 80 ºC. This baking operation

resets the exposure time as dened in the Moisture

Sensitivity section above.

Storage Conditions

XLamp LEDs that have been removed from original MBB

packaging but not soldered yet should be stored in a room

or cabinet that will maintain an atmosphere of 25 ± 5 ºC

and no greater than 10% RH (relative humidity). For LEDs

stored in these conditions, storage time does not add

to exposure time as dened in the Moisture Sensitivity

section above.

RoHS Compliance

The levels of environmentally sensitive, persistent

biologically toxic (PBT), persistent organic pollutants

(POP), or otherwise restricted materials in this product are

below the maximum concentration values (also referred to

as the threshold limits) permitted for such substances, or

are used in an exempted application, in accordance with

EU Directive 2002/95/EC on the restriction of the use of

certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic

equipment (RoHS), as amended through April 21, 2006.

Vision Advisory Claim

WARNING: Do not look at exposed lamp in operation. Eye

injury can result. See LED Eye Safety at www.cree.com/

products/pdf/XLamp_EyeSafety.pdf.

Intellectual Property

For remote phosphor applications, a separate license to

certain Cree patents is required.
