(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 recomm ended. if circuit a is used, it may cause the currents flowing through the leds to vary due to the varia tion 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/rever se direction while the led is off. if the leds are used in an environment where reverse v oltages 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 systems power should be turned off to ensure that ther e are no issues/damage. to stabilize the led characteristics while in use, nichia recommends that the leds are operated at currents 10% of the so rting current. ensure that transient excessive voltages (e.g. lighting surge) are not applied to the leds. if the leds are us ed for outdoor applications, ensure that necessary measures are taken (e.g. protecting the leds from water/salt damage and high humidity).
nichia sts-da1-3953d 16 (3) handling precautions do not handle the leds with bare hands: - this may contaminate the led surface and have an effect on the optical characteristics, - this may cause the led to deform and/or the wire to break causing a catastrophic failure (i.e. the led not to il luminate). ensure that when handling the leds with tweezers, excessive force is not applied to the led. otherwise, it may cause damage to the resin (e.g. cut, scratch, chip, crack, delamination and deformation) and the wire t o break causing a catastrophic failure (i.e. the led not to illuminate). dropping may cause damage to the led ( e.g. deformation). do not stack assembled pcbs together. otherwise, it may cause damage to the resi n (e.g. cut, scratch, chip, crack, delamina tion and deformation) and the wire to break 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 m ay 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 p osition/orientation on th e pcb assembly (e.g. especially in areas near v-groove scores). the pcb layout should be designed to minimize the mech anical 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. if an aluminum -core pcb is used to operate the leds, it may cause thermal stress during operation caus ing damage to the solder joints (e.g. crack). ensure that sufficient verification is performed prior to use. volatile organic compounds that have been released from materials present around the led s (e. g. housing, gasket/seal, adhesive, secondary lens, lens cover, etc.) may penetrate the led lens and/or encapsulating resin. if the leds are being used in a 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, ventilat ing the environment may improve the reduction in light output and/or color shift. perform a light-up test of the chosen application fo r optical evaluation to ensure that there are no issues, especially if the leds are planned to be used in a hermetically sealed environment. (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. e sd, lightning surge): - tools (e.g. soldering irons), 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 necessar y measures have be en 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 t he systems assembly process), perf orm a characteristics inspection (e.g. forward voltage measurement, light-up test) at low current (1ma). failure criteria: v f <2.0v at i f =0.5ma if the led is damaged by transient excess voltages (e.g. esd), it will cause: - the forward voltage (v f ) to decrease - the led not to illuminate at a low current
nichia sts-da1-3953d 17 (6) thermal management the absolute maximum junction temperature (t j ) 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 concen trated in an area and properly managed in the system/assembly. the operating current should be determined by considering the temperature conditions surroundi ng the led ( i.e. t a ). 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) t j =t a +r ja ? w 2) t j =t s +r js ? w *t j =led junction temperature: c t a =ambient temperature: c t s =soldering temperature (cathode side): c r ja =thermal resistance from junction to ambient: c/w r js =thermal resistance from junction to t s measurement point: c/w w=input power(i f v f ): w t s measurement point (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 p ackage/resin to be damage d causing issues; ensure that sufficient verification is performed prior to use. additionally, ensure tha t 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 performe d 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 l eds: iec 62471:2006 photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems and iec 60825-1:2001 (i.e. edition 1.2) safety of laser products - p art 1: equipment classification and requirements. ensure that when using the leds, there are no issues with the fol lowing 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 60825-1:200 1 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 2 006. - most nichia leds will be classified as the exempt group or risk group 1 acc ording 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 cla ssified 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 opti c 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 hea lth issues (e.g. visual stimuli caus ing eye discomfort). the system should be designed to ensure that there are no harmful effects on the human body.
