<Cat.No.080110>
(5) Handling Precautions
· Bare Hand
When handling the product, touching encapsulant with bare hands will contaminate its surface that could
affects on optical characteristics. In the worst cases, excessive force to the encapsulant by hands might
result in catastrophic failure of the LEDs due to wire deformation and/or breakage.
· Tweezers
When handling it with tweezers, the product should only be held by the package body, on the short side.
Failure to comply might result in chip-out and/or delamination of encapsulant, and in the worst cases,
catastrophic failure of the LEDs due to wire deformation and/or breakage.
· Pick and Place
Recommended conditions :
Area of outer nozzle
≥
1.5 mm
2
(more than 45% of encapsulant top surface)**
Contact area of nozzle with encapsulant
≥
1.0 mm
2
(30 to 60% of encapsulant top surface)**
Placement pressure
≤
3N/mm
2
*max. force : 5N
Vacuum pressure
≤
7.8N/ cm
2
(≤ 0.8 kgf/cm
2
)
**For reference.
Failure to comply might result in damage to encapsulant and in the worst cases,
catastrophic failure of the LEDs due to wire deformation and/or breakage.
