XLAMP® XP-G2 LED

THERMAL DESIGN - HIGH EFFICACY

The maximum forward current is determined by the thermal resistance between the LED junction and ambient. It is crucial for the end

product to be designed in a manner that minimizes the thermal resistance from the solder point to ambient in order to optimize lamp life

and optical characteristics.
