Thermal Interface Material Options

ILS have produced a range of High-performance, cost effective Thermal Interface Materials to match perfectly their

standard products.

Our product fills the air pockets between the two surfaces, forming a continuous layer to conduct heat away from the

LED to the Heat Sink.

ILS offer our TIM in three options – double sided adhesive, single sided adhesive and non adhesive.

Other sizes are available, including customised parts

Assembly Information

z

In order to optimise the thermal management, the metal surface needs to be clean (dirt and oil free) and planar for

the best contact with the LED module. A thermal grease or heat transfer material is highly recommended.

Safety Information

z

The LED module itself and all its components must not be mechanically stressed.

z

Assembly must not damage or destroy conducting paths on the circuit board.

z

The mounting of the module is carried out by attaching it at the mounting holes. Metal mounting screws must be

insulated with synthetic washers to prevent circuit board damage and possible short circuiting.

z

To avoid mechanical damage to the connecting cables, the boards should be attached securely to the intended

substrate. Heavy vibration should be avoided.

z

Observe correct polarity!

z

Depending on the product, incorrect polarity will lead to emission of red or no light. The module can be destroyed!

z

Pay attention to standard ESD precautions when installing the PowerAnna.

z

The PowerAnna, as manufactured, have no conformal coating and therefore offer no inherent protection against

corrosion.

z

Damage by corrosion will not be accepted as a materials defect claim. It is the user’s responsibility to provide

suitable protection against corrosive agents such as moisture and condensation and other harmful elements.

z

For outdoor usage, housing is definitely required to protect the board against environmental influences. The design

of the housing must correspond to the IP standards in the application. It is also the responsibility of the user to ensure

any housing or modifications keep the Tc junction temperature to within stated ranges.

z

To also ease the luminaire/installation approval, electronic control gear for LED or LED modules should carry the CE

mark and be ENEC certified. In Europe the declarations of conformity must include the following standards: CE: EC

z

61374-2-13, EN 55015, IEC 61547 and IEC 61000-3-2 - ENEC: 61374-2-13 and IEC/EN 62384.

z

The evaluation of eye safety occurs according to the standard IEC 62471:2006 (“photobiological safety of lamps

and lamp systems”). Within the risk grouping system of this CIE standard, the LED specified in this data sheet falls

into the class “moderate risk” (exposure time 0.25s). Under real circumstances (for exposure time, eye pupils,

observation distance), it is assumed that no endangerment to the eye exists from these devices. As a matter of

principle, however, it should be mentioned that intense light sources have a high secondary exposure potential due

to their blinding effect. As is also true when viewing other bright light sources (e.g. headlights), temporary reduction

in visual acuity and afterimages can occur, leading to irritation, annoyance, visual impairment and even accidents,

depending on the situation.

The values contained in this data sheet can change due to technical innovations. Any such changes will be made

without separate notification.
