(単位 Unit: mm)

* This LED is designed to be reflow soldered to a PCB. If dip soldered or hand soldered, Nichia will not guarantee its reliability.
* Reflow soldering must not be performed more than twice.
* When cooling the LEDs from the peak temperature a gradual cooling slope is recommended; do not cool the LEDs rapidly.
* During reflow soldering, the heat and atmosphere in the reflow oven may cause the optical characteristics to degrade. In particular,
reflow soldering performed with an air atmosphere may have a greater negative effect on the optical characteristics than if a
nitrogen atmosphere is used; Nichia recommends using a nitrogen reflow atmosphere.
* This LED uses a silicone resin for the encapsulating resin; the silicone resin is soft. If pressure is applied to the silicone resin, it
may cause the resin to be damaged, chipped, delaminated and/or deformed. If the resin is damaged, chipped, delaminated
and/or deformed, it may cause the internal connection to fail causing a catastrophic failure (i.e. the LED not to illuminate) and/or
reliability issues (e.g. the LED to corrode and/or to become dimmer, the color/directivity to change, etc.). Ensure that pressure
is not applied to the encapsulating resin.
* Once the LEDs have been soldered to a PCB, it should not be repaired/reworked.
* When soldering, do not apply stress to the LED while the LED is hot.
* When using an automatic pick-and-place machine, choose an appropriate nozzle for this LED.
* The soldering pad pattern above is a general recommendation for LEDs to be mounted without issues; if a high degree of precision
is required for the chosen application (i.e. high-density mounting), ensure that the soldering pad pattern is optimized.
* When flux is used, it should be a halogen free flux. Ensure that the manufacturing process is not designed in a manner where the
flux will come in contact with the LEDs.
* Ensure that there are no issues with the type and amount of solder that is being used.
* This LED has all the electrodes on the backside; solder connections will not be able to be seen nor confirmed by a normal visual
inspection. Ensure that sufficient verification is performed on the soldering conditions prior to use to ensure that there are no
issues.

CAUTIONS

(1) Storage
Conditions Temperature Humidity Time
Before Opening Aluminum Bag ≤30°C ≤90%RH Within 1 Year from Delivery Date
Storage
After Opening Aluminum Bag ≤30°C ≤70%RH ≤4weeks
● The storage/packaging requirements for this LED are comparable to JEDEC Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 2a or equivalent.
Nichia used IPC/JEDEC STD-020 as a reference to rate the MSL of this LED.
● Ensure that soldering is completed within the storage times detailed above.
● This LED uses a package that could absorb moisture; if the package absorbs moisture and is exposed to heat during soldering, it
may cause the moisture to vaporize and the package to expand and the resulting pressure may cause internal delamination. This
may cause the optical characteristics to degrade. To minimize moisture absorption in storage/transit, moisture-proof aluminum
bags are used for the LEDs with a silica gel packet to absorb any air moisture in the bag. The silica gel beads turn blue to red as
they absorb moisture.
● Once the moisture-proof aluminum bag is open, ensure that the LED is soldered to a PCB within the range of the conditions above.
To store any remaining unused LEDs, use a hermetically sealed container with silica gel desiccants. Nichia recommends placing
them back to the original moisture-proof bag and reseal it.
● This LED has gold-plated electrodes. If the LEDs are exposed to a corrosive environment, it may cause the plated surface to
tarnish causing issues (i.e. solderability). Ensure that when storing LEDs, a hermetically sealed container is used. Nichia
recommends placing them back to the original moisture-proof bag and reseal it.
● To prevent substances/gases from affecting the plated surface, ensure that the parts/materials used with the LEDs in the same
assembly/system do not contain sulfur (e.g. gasket/seal, adhesive, etc.). If the plating is contaminated, it may cause issues (e.g.
electric connection failures). If a gasket/seal is used, silicone rubber gaskets/seals are recommended; ensure that this use of
silicone does not result in issues (e.g. electrical connection failures) caused by low molecular weight volatile siloxane.
● To avoid condensation, the LEDs must not be stored in areas where temperature and humidity fluctuate greatly.
● Do not store the LEDs in a dusty environment.
● Do not expose the LEDs to direct sunlight and/or an environment over a long period of time where the temperature is higher than
normal room temperature.

(2) Directions for Use

● The circuit must be designed to ensure that the Absolute Maximum Ratings are not exceeded for each LED. The LEDs should be
operated at a constant current per LED. In the case of operating at a constant voltage, Circuit B is recommended. If Circuit A is
used, it may cause the currents flowing through the LEDs to vary due to the variation in the forward voltage characteristics of the
LEDs on the circuit.

(A) (B)
...

...

● This LED is designed to be operated at a forward current. Ensure that no voltage is applied to the LED in the forward/reverse
direction while the LED is off. If the LEDs are used in an environment where reverse voltages are applied to the LED continuously,
it may cause electrochemical migration to occur causing the LED to be damaged. When not in use for a long period of time, the
system’s power should be turned off to ensure that there are no issues/damage.
● To stabilize the LED characteristics while in use, Nichia recommends that the LEDs are operated at currents ≥ 10% of the sorting
current.
● If LEDs are arranged into rows and columns in a grid circuit (i.e. LED matrix circuit) and operated, ensure that when using a pulsed
mode to operate the LEDs in a matrix circuit, the reverse voltage for any of the LEDs does not exceed the Absolute Maximum
Rating while the LED is off.
● Ensure that transient excessive voltages (e.g. lightning surge) are not applied to the LEDs.
● If the LEDs are used for outdoor applications, ensure that necessary measures are taken (e.g. protecting the LEDs from water/salt
damage and high humidity).

 NICHIA STS-DA1-3689O <[Link].210730>

(3) Handling Precautions

● Do not handle the LEDs with bare hands as it will contaminate the LED surface and may affect the optical characteristics: it might
cause the LED to be deformed and/or the bump to break, which will cause the LED not to illuminate.
● This LED uses a silicone resin for the encapsulating resin; the silicone is very soft. If an object (e.g. hand, nozzle, tweezers, etc.)
comes in contact with the surface of the encapsulating resin when handling an LED, it may cause damage to the encapsulating
resin surface (e.g. cut, scratch, chip, crack, delamination, and deformation). If force is applied to the encapsulating resin, it may
cause the internal connection to fail causing a catastrophic failure (i.e. the LED not to illuminate). Ensure that when handling LEDs,
the encapsulating resin does not have contact with any object that may cause this damage (e.g. hand, tweezers, pick-and-place
nozzle, etc.) and is not exposed to excessive force.
● Dropping may cause damage to the LED (e.g. deformation).
● Do not stack assembled PCBs together. Otherwise, it may cause damage to the resin (e.g. cut, scratch, chip, crack, delamination
and deformation) and the internal connection to fail causing a catastrophic failure (i.e. the LED not to illuminate).

(4) Design Consideration

● If the LEDs are soldered to a PCB and the PCB assembly is bent (e.g. PCB depaneling process), it may cause the LED package to
break. The PCB layout should be designed to minimize the mechanical stress on the LEDs when the PCB assembly is bent/warped.
● The amount of mechanical stress exerted on the LED from depaneling may vary depending on the LED position/orientation on the
PCB assembly (e.g. especially in areas near V-groove scores). The PCB layout should be designed to minimize the mechanical
stress on the LEDs when the PCB is separated into individual PCB assemblies.
● To separate a PCB populated with the LEDs, use a specially designed tool. Do not break the PCB by hand.
● Volatile organic compounds that have been released from materials present around the LEDs (e.g. housing, gasket/seal, adhesive,
secondary lens, lens cover, grease, etc.) may penetrate the LED emitting surface. If the LEDs are being used in a
hermetically/near-hermetically sealed environment, these volatile compounds can discolor after being exposed to heat and/or
photon energy and it may greatly reduce the LED light output and/or color shift. In this case, ventilating the environment may
improve the reduction in light output and/or color shift. Perform a light-up test of the chosen application for optical evaluation
prior to use to ensure that there are no issues, this test should be performed taking into consideration the
conditions/environments in which the end-product containing these LEDs will actually be used.
● The characteristics of the LEDs (e.g. chromaticity, color rendering index, etc.) will vary depending on how the LEDs are designed
into the application (e.g. secondary lens, luminaire cover/housing, etc. for ease of dissipation), how they were assembled, under
what conditions/environments they are used (e.g. operating current/temperature, etc.), and how long they have been used (e.g.
storage/operating hours, etc.). To ensure that there are no issues (e.g. deviations/changes in the characteristics, etc.) with the
chosen application, perform a sufficient verification prior to use.
● Ensure that the chosen soldering pad pattern has a solder mask which does not cover the copper pads that the LED will be
attached to or the area underneath the LED.
(Non Solder Mask Defined [NSMD] pads are recommended; see the figure below.)
Refer to the relevant application notes. To access the application notes, go to the Technical Suggestions And

(5) Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

● This LED is sensitive to transient excessive voltages (e.g. ESD, lightning surge). If this excessive voltage occurs in the circuit, it
may cause the LED to be damaged causing issues (e.g. the LED to become dimmer or not to illuminate [i.e. catastrophic failure]).
Ensure that when handling the LEDs, necessary measures are taken to protect them from an ESD discharge. The following
examples are recommended measures to eliminate the charge:
- Grounded wrist strap, ESD footwear, clothes, and floors
- Grounded workstation equipment and tools
- ESD table/shelf mat made of conductive materials
● Ensure that all necessary measures are taken to prevent the LEDs from being exposed to transient excessive voltages (e.g. ESD,
lightning surge):
- tools, jigs, and machines that are used are properly grounded
- appropriate ESD materials/equipment are used in the work area
- the system/assembly is designed to provide ESD protection for the LEDs
● If the tool/equipment used is an insulator (e.g. glass cover, plastic, etc.), ensure that necessary measures have been taken to
protect the LED from transient excessive voltages (e.g. ESD). The following examples are recommended measures to eliminate
the charge:
- Dissipating static charge with conductive materials
- Preventing charge generation with moisture
- Neutralizing the charge with ionizers
● To detect if an LED was damaged by transient excess voltages (i.e. an ESD event during the system’s assembly process), perform
a characteristics inspection (e.g. forward voltage measurement, light-up test) at low current (≤1mA).
● Failure Criteria: VF<2.0V at IF=0.5mA
If any one or more dice, except for the red die, are damaged by transient excess voltages (e.g. ESD), it will cause:
- the leakage current to increase
- the Forward Voltage (VF) to decrease
- the LED not to illuminate at a low current

(6) Thermal Management

● The Absolute Maximum Junction Temperature (TJ) must not be exceeded under any circumstances. The increase in the
temperature of an LED while in operation may vary depending on the PCB thermal resistance and the density of LEDs on the PCB
assembly. Ensure that when using the LEDs for the chosen application, heat is not concentrated in an area and properly managed
in the system/assembly.
● The operating current should be determined by considering the temperature conditions surrounding the LED (i.e. TA). Ensure that
when operating the LED, proper measures are taken to dissipate the heat.
● The following two equations can be used to calculate the LED junction temperature:
1) TJ=TA+RθJA･W 2) TJ=TC+RθJC･W
*TJ=LED Junction Temperature: °C
TA=Ambient Temperature: °C
TC=Case Temperature: °C
RθJA=Thermal Resistance from Junction to Ambient: °C/W
RθJC=Thermal Resistance from Junction to TC Measurement Point: °C/W
W=Input Power(IF×VF): W

TC Measurement Point

● Once the LEDs have been soldered to a PCB, it is difficult to measure TC due to the location of the TC measurement point. Refer
to the relevant application notes for other methods of determining the TJ. To access the application notes, go to the
Technical Suggestions And Recommendations section of Nichia’s website.

(7) Cleaning
● Do not clean the LEDs with water, benzine and/or thinner.
● To clean the LEDs, use isopropyl alcohol (IPA). If another solvent is used, it may cause the LED package/resin to be damaged
causing issues; ensure that sufficient verification is performed prior to use. Additionally, ensure that the solvent being used does
not cause any other issues (e.g. CFC-based solvents are heavily regulated).
● If an LED is contaminated (e.g. dust/dirt), use a cloth soaked with isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Ensure that the cloth is firmly squeezed
before wiping the LED.
● Do not clean the LEDs with an ultrasonic cleaner. If cleaning must be done, ensure that sufficient verification is performed by using
a finished assembly with LEDs to determine cleaning conditions (e.g. ultrasonic power, LED position on the PCB assembly) that do
not cause an issue.

(8) Eye Safety

● There may be two important international specifications that should be noted for safe use of the LEDs: IEC 62471:2006
Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems and IEC 60825-1:2001 (i.e. Edition 1.2) Safety of Laser Products - Part 1:
Equipment Classification and Requirements. Ensure that when using the LEDs, there are no issues with the following points:
- LEDs have been removed from the scope of IEC 60825-1 since IEC 60825-1:2007 (i.e. Edition 2.0) was published. However,
depending on the country/region, there are cases where the requirements of the IEC 60825-1:2001 specifications or
equivalent must be adhered to.
- LEDs have been included in the scope of IEC 62471:2006 since the release of the specification in 2006.
- Most Nichia LEDs will be classified as the Exempt Group or Risk Group 1 according to IEC 62471:2006. However, in the case
of high-power LEDs containing blue wavelengths in the emission spectrum, there are LEDs that will be classified as Risk
Group 2 depending on the characteristics (e.g. radiation flux, emission spectrum, directivity, etc.)
- If the LED is used in a manner that produces an increased output or with an optic to collimate the light from the LED, it may
cause damage to the human eye.
● If an LED is operated in a manner that emits a flashing light, it may cause health issues (e.g. visual stimuli causing eye discomfort).
The system should be designed to ensure that there are no harmful effects on the human body.
