ASCB-JTC2-0A308
1615 Tricolor PLCC-4 LED
Description
The Broadcom® ASCB-JTC2 series are tricolor LEDs
targeting indoor small pixel pitch displays. They come in a
1.6 mm × 1.5 mm × 1.0 mm PLCC-4 package. Their full
black body appearance with diffused epoxy enhance
display contrast and provide a suitable solution for
high-resolution video display.
Features
PLCC-4 package with full black body
Suitable for small pitch sign
Applications
Indoor full color display
To facilitate easy pick and place assembly, the LEDs are
packed in tape and reel form. Every reel is shipped in single
intensity and color bin to ensure uniformity.
CAUTION! This LED is ESD sensitive. Please observe appropriate precautions during handling and processing. Refer to
application note AN-1142 for additional details.

a. The luminous intensity, IV is measured at the mechanical axis of the package and it is tested with a single current pulse condition. The actual
peak of the spatial radiation pattern may not be aligned with the axis.
b. The dominant wavelength, λd is derived from the CIE Chromaticity Diagram and represents the perceived color of the device.
c. θ½ is the off-axis angle where the luminous intensity if half of the peak intensity.

Precautionary Notes
Soldering
Handling Precautions
Do not perform reflow soldering more than twice.
Observe necessary precautions of handling moisturesensitive devices 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 maximum.
– Soldering duration = 3 seconds maximum.
– Number of cycles = 1 only.
– Power of soldering iron = 50W maximum.
Do not touch the LED package body with the soldering
iron except for the soldering terminals, because it may
cause damage to the LED.
Confirm beforehand whether the functionality and
performance of the LED is affected by soldering with
hand soldering.

Special handling precautions must be observed during the
assembly of epoxy encapsulated LED products. Failure to
comply might lead to damage and premature failure of the
LED.
Handling of Moisture-Sensitive Devices
This product has a Moisture Sensitive Level 5a rating per
JEDEC J-STD-020. Refer to Broadcom Application Note

Devices, for additional details and a review of proper
handling procedures.

Do not stack assembled PCBs together. Use an
appropriate rack to hold the PCBs.
For automated pick and place, Broadcom has tested a
nozzle size with OD 1.5 mm 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.
An unopened moisture barrier bag (MBB) can be stored
at
