3-3. Derating curve
(Note) To keep the case temperature lower than the rating, enough heat-radiation performance needs to
be secured by using an adequate heat sink (refer to section 7-
).
For soldering connection, please evaluate in your usage environment to make sure soldering reliability.
( Above derating curve is specified to LED device, not for soldering connection )
And please consider to avoid physical stress between wire and substrate,
and some protection like silicon bond on top of soldered wire is recommended.
Please ensure the maintenance of heat radiation does not exceed case temperature over the rating
in operation.
Measuring point for case temperature
Please take note of the following, when measuring case temperature.
1 The LED device mounting surface should be flat/plain surface.
2 The substrate surface temperature should be uniform.

7. Precautions
Storage conditions
Please follow the conditions below.
Before opened: Temperature 5
30
, Relative humidity less than 60 %.
(Before opened LED should be used within a year)
After opened: Temperature 5
30
, Relative humidity less than 60 %.
(Please apply soldering within 1 week)
After opened LED should be kept in an aluminum moisture proof bag with a moisture
absorbent material (silica gel).
Avoid exposing to air with corrosive gas.
If exposed, electrode surface would be damaged, which may affect soldering.
Usage conditions
This product is not designed for the use under any of the following conditions.
Please carefully check the performance and reliability well enough in case of using under any of the
following conditions;
In a place with a lot of moisture, dew condensation, briny air, and corrosive gas.
(Cl, H2S, NH3, SO2, NOX, etc.)
Under the direct sunlight, outdoor exposure, and in a dusty place.
In water, oil, medical fluid, and organic solvent.
Please do not use component parts like rubber which may contain sulfur (gasket packing, adhesive material,
etc.).
Please note that any strong acidic or alcoholic elements could effect the silicon resin used in the LED device.
The heat and light released from the LED device, could generate halogen gas from the surrounding materials,
which may have adverse impact on the module. Before using please consider carefully about this issue.
Heat radiation and Installation
If forward current (IF) is applied to single-state module at any current, there is a risk of damaging LED
or emitting smoke, due to increase in temperature.
Equip with specified heat radiator(heat sink), and avoid heat being stuffed inside the module.
Material of substrate is alumina ceramic. If installed inappropriately, trouble of insufficient heat radiation may
occur , which may result in board cracks or lighting defects due to overheat. Please take particular notice for
installation.
Refer to the following cautions while installing the LED device on heat sink.
Apply thermolysis adhesive, adhesive sheet or peculiar connector when mounted on heat radiator.
In case of applying adhesive or adhesive sheet only, check the effectiveness and reliability before fixing.
If LED comes off from heat radiator, unusual temperature rise entails hazardous phenomena including
device deterioration, coming off of solder at leads, and emitting smoke, along with LED device deffects.
When LED device is mechanically fixed or locked, Please take into consideration regarding the method of
attachment due to fail from stress.
Please apply appropriate stress and design carefully, when fixing the LED device using holder. Any
excessive or uneven stress could break LED device’s substrate.
Avoid convexly uneven boards.
Convex board is subject to substrate cracking or debasement of heat release.
It is recommended to apply adhesive or adhesive sheet with high thermal conductivity
for radiation of heat effectively.
Please take care about the influence of color change of adhesive or adhesive sheet in initial and long term
period, which may affect light output or color due to change of reflectance from backside.
Model No. Page
GW6B*W**HD6 14 of 17
DG-159014
Any excessive or uneven stress on the ceramic substrate could break the substrate. Please design such that,
proper/uniform stress is applied on the substrate, when fixing the LED device using a holder.
When fixing the LED device with a holder, please take note if any excessive or uneven stress is applied
when pressing the substrate with holder. Due to this, the gap may arise between LED device and
adhesive material, which may affect the heat dissipation of the device.
Do not touch resin part including white resin part on the surface of LED.
No light emission may occur due to damage of resin or cutting wire of LEDs by outer force.
When using tweezers, please handle by ceramic substrate part and avoid touching resin part.
For mounting, please handle by side part of ceramic or the specified area shown below.
The outer edges of the substrate may be uneven in some cases. Please avoid choosing these areas as fixing
points, while designing for installation.
In case of using heat radiation sheet or heat radiation adhesive, light reflection or absorption of these
materials may influence the output of LED device. Especially, the color change that occur due to l
ong-term use has direct impact on output of LED devices, and hence careful consideration is required
while choosing the radiation sheet ro adhesive.
Please avoid using any materials(such as PBT resin) that may release corrosive gases, around LED device.
Connecting method
Use soldering for conncetions. Follow the conditions mentioned below, to preserve the connection strength.
Use soldering iron with thermo controller (tip temperature 380
), within 5 seconds per one place.
Secure the solderwettability on whole solder pad and leads.
During the soldering process, put the ceramic board on materials whose conductivity is poor enough
not to radiate heat of soldering.
Warm up (with using a heated plate) the substrate is recommended before soldering.
( preheat condition: 100
150
, within 60 sec )
Avoid touching any part of resin with soldering iron.
This product is not designed for reflow and flow soldering.
Avoid such lead arrangement as applying stress to solder-applied area.
Please do not detach solder and make re-solder.
Please solder evenly on each electrode.
Please prevent flux from touching to resin.
Do the soldering on stable stand. Avoid soldering on moving or vibrating objects.
Please avoid touching the soldering unit to resin.
Static electricity
This product is subject to static electricity, so take measures like wearing wrist band to cope with it.
Install circuit protection device to drive circuit, if necessary.

Handling area
DG-159014
Drive method
Any reverse voltage cannot be applied to LEDs when they are in operation or not.
Design a circuit so that any flow of reverse or forward voltage can not be applied to LEDs
when they are out of operation.
Module is composed of LEDs connected in both series and parallel.
Constant voltage power supply runs off more than specified current amount due to lowered VF
caused by temperature rise. Constant current power supply is recommended to drive.
Be cautious while putting on/off the power supply, as excess current, excess voltage or reverse voltage may get
injucted to the device in some cases.
Cleaning
Avoid cleaning, since LED device may be effected in some cases by cleaning.
Color-tone variation
Chromaticity of this product is monitored by integrating sphere right after the operation.
Chromaticity varies depending on measuring method, light spread condition, or ambient temperature.
Please verify your actual conditions before use.
Safety
Looking directly at LEDs for a long time may result in hurting your eyes.
In case that excess current (over ratings) is supplied to the device, hazardous phenomena including
abnormal heat generation, emitting smoke, or catching fire can be caused.
Take appropriate measures to excess current and voltage.
In case of solder connecting method, there is a possibility of fatigue failure by heat.
Please fix the leads in such case to protect from short circuit or leakage of electricity caused by contact.
Please confirm the safety standards or regulations of application devices.
Please be careful with substrate edges, that may injure your hands.
Other cautions
Guarantee covers the compliance to the quality standards mentioned in the specifications,
however it does not cover the compatibility with application of the end-use, including assembly
and usage environment.
In case any quality problems occurred in the application of end-use, details will be separately discussed
and determined between the parties hereto.
