Precautionary Notes
Soldering
Handling Precautions
The encapsulation material of the LED is made of silicone
for better product reliability. Compared to epoxy
encapsulant, which is hard and brittle, silicone is softer and
flexible. Observe special handling precautions during
assembly of silicone encapsulated LED products. Failure
to comply might lead to damage and premature failure of
the LED. Refer to Broadcom Application Note AN5288,
Silicone Encapsulation for LED: Advantages and Handling
Precautions, for additional information.
Do not perform reflow soldering more than twice.
Observe necessary precautions of handling moisturesensitive device as stated in the following section.
Do not apply any pressure or force on the LED during
reflow and after reflow when the LED is still hot.
Use reflow soldering to solder the LED. Use hand
soldering only for rework if unavoidable, but it must be
strictly controlled to following conditions:
─ Soldering iron tip temperature = 315°C max.
─ Soldering duration = 3sec max.
─ Number of cycles = 1 only
─ Power of soldering iron = 50W max.
Do not touch the LED package body with the soldering
iron except for the soldering terminals, as it may cause
damage to the LED.
Confirm beforehand whether the functionality and
performance of the LED is affected by soldering with
hand soldering.
Figure 15: Recommended Lead-Free Reflow Soldering Profile
Do not poke sharp objects into the silicone
encapsulant. Sharp objects, such as tweezers or
syringes, might apply excessive force or even pierce
through the silicone and induce failures to the LED die
or wire bond.
Do not touch the silicone encapsulant. Uncontrolled
force acting on the silicone encapsulant might result in
excessive stress on the wire bond. Hold the LED only
by the body.
Do not stack assembled PCBs together. Use an
appropriate rack to hold the PCBs.
Surface of silicone material attracts dust and dirt easier
than epoxy due to its surface tackiness. To remove
foreign particles on the surface of silicone, use a cotton
bud with isopropyl alcohol (IPA). During cleaning, rub
the surface gently without putting too much pressure on
the silicone. Ultrasonic cleaning is not recommended.

nozzle size with OD 3.5mm to work with this LED.
However, due to the possibility of variations in other
parameters such as pick and place machine
maker/model, and other settings of the machine, verify
that the selected nozzle will not cause damage to the
LED.

The drive current of the LED must not exceed the
maximum allowable limit across temperature as stated
in the data sheet. Constant current driving is
recommended to ensure consistent performance.
Circuit design must cater to the whole range of forward
voltage (VF) of the LEDs to ensure the intended drive
current can always be achieved.
The LED exhibits slightly different characteristics at
different drive currents, which may result in a larger
variation of performance (meaning: intensity,
AREM-x0C0-xx000-DS
8
AREM-x0C0-xx000 Data Sheet
wavelength, and forward voltage). Set the application
current as close as possible to the test current to
minimize these variations.
Do not use the LED in the vicinity of material with
sulfur content or in environments of high gaseous
sulfur compounds and corrosive elements. Examples
of material that might contain sulfur are rubber
gaskets, room- temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone
rubber, rubber gloves, and so on. Prolonged exposure
to such environments may affect the optical
characteristics and product life.
Avoid rapid change in ambient temperature, especially
in high-humidity environments, because they cause
condensation on the LED.
If the LED is intended to be used in harsh or outdoor
environment, protect the LED against damages
caused by rain, water, dust, oil, corrosive gases,
external mechanical stresses, and so on.
Handling of Moisture-Sensitive Devices
This product has a Moisture Sensitive Level 3 rating per
JEDEC J-STD-020. Refer to Broadcom Application Note
AN5305, Handling of Moisture Sensitive Surface Mount
Devices for additional details and a review of proper
handling procedures.
Before use:
─ An unopened moisture barrier bag (MBB) can be
stored at
