•
Do not apply any stress to the LED package, particularly when heated.
•
Only bottom preheat is suggested & should not preheat on top in order to reduce thermal stress experienced by the
LEDs.
•
The LEDs must not be re used once they have been extracted from PCB.
•
After soldering the LEDs, the package should be protected from mechanical shock or vibration until the LEDs have
reached 40 ºC or below.
•
Precautions must be taken as mechanical stress on the LEDs may be caused by PCB warpage or from the clinching
and cutting of the LED leads.
•
When it is necessary to clam the LEDs during soldering, it is important to ensure no mechanical stress is exerted on
the LEDs.
•
Cut the LED lead at normal room temperature. Lead cutting at high temperature may cause failure of the LEDs.
Refer to "http://www.cree.com/led-components/media/documents/sh-HB.pdf" for soldering & handling details.
