* This LED is designed to be reflow soldered to a PCB. If dip soldered, Nichia will not guarantee its reliability.

* Reflow soldering must not be performed more than twice. Hand soldering must not be performed more than once.

* If the LEDs are sent through the reflow process for a second time, it is recommended to perform the second soldering as soon as

the LEDs have cooled down to room temperature naturally after the first soldering in order to avoid moisture absorption.

* 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 wire to break 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. If it must be done, using a double-head soldering

iron is strongly recommended. Ensure that sufficient verification is performed prior to use to ensure that the repair/rework has

not caused the LED characteristics to deteriorate.

* 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. Using a pick-and-place nozzle with

a smaller diameter than the size of the LED's emitting surface will cause damage to the emitting surface causing a catastrophic

failure (i.e. the LED not to illuminate).

* This product can differ in optical characteristics depending on both the number of reflow cycles and reflow temperature conditions.

In a single display, only LEDs with both the same number of reflow cycles and reflow temperature conditions should be used

regardless of the application type (e.g. rental and/or permanent installations).

* 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.

* Consider factors such as the reflow soldering temperature, hand soldering temperature, etc. when choosing the solder.

* 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.
