Description
Features
The Broadcom® ASMB-LTC3 is a tricolor LED device in
PLCC-4 LED with size 2.1 mm × 2.1mm. The full black body
package helps to further enhance the display contrast to
make it suitable for indoor full-color sign applications.
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.

Precautionary Notes
Soldering
Handling Precautions
Do not perform reflow soldering more than twice.
Observe necessary precautions of handling
moisture-sensitive devices as stated in the following
section.
Do not apply any pressure or force on the LED during
reflow and after reflow while 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, as it may cause
damage to the LED.
Confirm before hand whether the functionality and
performance of the LED is affected by soldering with
hand soldering.
Figure 15: Recommended Lead-Free Reflow Soldering Profile
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 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.
For automated pick and place, Broadcom has tested a
nozzle size with OD 1.5mm 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.

Handling of Moisture-Sensitive Devices
Storage:
This product has a Moisture Sensitive Level 5a 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.
The soldering terminals of these Broadcom LEDs are silver
plated. If the LEDs are exposed in an ambient environment
for too long, the silver plating might be oxidized, thus
affecting its solderability performance. As such, keep
unused LEDs in a sealed MBB with desiccant or in a
desiccator at
