3. Soldering Conditions

•

Solder the LEDs no closer than 3 mm from the base of the lead.

•

DO NOT apply any stress to the lead particularly when heat.

•

The LEDs must not be reposition after soldering.

•

After soldering the LEDs, the lead should be protected from mechanical shock or vibration until the

LEDs return to room temperature.

•

When it is necessary to clamp the LEDs to prevent soldering failure, it is important to minimize the

mechanical stress on the LEDs.

•

Cut the LED leads at room temperature. Cutting the leads at high temperature may cause the failure

of the LEDs.

4. Static Electricity

•

The LEDs are very sensitive to Static Electricity and surge voltage. So it is recommended that a wrist

band or an anti-electrostatic glove be used when handling the LEDs.

•

All devices, equipment and machinery must be grounded properly. It is recommended that precautions

should be taken against surge voltage to the equipment that mounts the LEDs.
