(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 the LEDs are cooled from the peak reflow temperature, ensure that the cooling is performed very gradually to avoid
excessive stress on the LED (e.g. causing cracks in the solder joints). Ensure that sufficient preliminary verification is performed
to ensure that there are no issues with the chosen reflow soldering conditions/process.
* 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.
* Repairing should not be done after the LEDs have been soldered. It should be confirmed beforehand whether the characteristics
of the LEDs will or will not be damaged by repairing.
* When soldering, do not apply stress to the LED while the LED is hot.
* When using a pick and place machine, choose an appropriate nozzle for this product.
* 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.

● The storage/packaging requirements for this LED are comparable to JEDEC Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 3 or equivalent.
Nichia used IPC/JEDEC STD-020 as a reference to rate the MSL of this LED.
● 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.
● If the “After Opening” storage time has been exceeded or any pink silica gel beads are found, ensure that the LED are baked before
use. Baking should only be done once.
● 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.
23
(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.
● 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).
● Although this LED is specifically designed to emit invisible light, a small amount of light in the visible region exists in the emission
spectrum. Ensure that when using the LEDs for sensors, verification is performed to ensure that the emission spectrum is fit for
the intended use.
● Exposure to the UV radiation from this LED could cause health risks and the degree of hazard may vary depending on the
wavelength, irradiance, and exposure time. When necessary, safety and other information/precautions should be provided to the
end users. For more details, see Handling Precautions for Ultraviolet Light (UV LEDs). To access the application notes, go to the
Technical Suggestions And Recommendations section of Nichia's website.
● The UV light may accelerate the degradation/aging processes of the components used in the chosen system. When selecting a
part/material, perform sufficient verification prior to use to ensure that there are no issues, this verification should be performed
taking into consideration the conditions/environments in which the end-product containing these LEDs will actually be used. When
necessary, safety and other information/precautions should be provided to the end users.
● This LED may cause fluorescence to occur resulting in certain devices (e.g. sensors, etc.) failing to function as intended. Taking
into consideration the conditions/environments in which the end-product containing these LEDs will actually be used, safety and
other information/precautions should be provided to the end users.
● If the UV LEDs are used with LEDs containing a phosphor in the same application, the UV light may cause the phosphor to emit
light. The design of the chosen application should ensure that those LEDs are not exposed to the UV light.
● If this product is stored and/or used constantly under high humidity conditions, it may accelerate the deterioration of the die; this
may cause the radiant flux to decrease. If the LEDs are stored and/or used under these conditions, sufficient verification must be
done prior to use to ensure there are no issues for the chosen application.
● Do not design this LED into applications where condensation may occur. If the LEDs are stored/operated in these environments,
it may cause issues (e.g. current leaks that cause the radiant flux to decrease).
(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 illuminate).
● When handling the product with tweezers, be careful not to apply excessive force to the glass. Otherwise, The glass can be cut,
chipped, delaminate or deformed, causing wire-bond breaks and catastrophic failures.
● Dropping may cause damage to the LED (e.g. deformation).
● Do not stack assembled PCBs together. Otherwise, it may cause damage to the glass cover (e.g. cut, scratch, chip, crack,
delamination and deformation) and the wire to break causing a catastrophic failure (i.e. the LED not to illuminate).
24
(4) Design Consideration

● To operate the LEDs, using a copper-core PCB is recommended; this may cause issues (e.g. cracks in the glass cover/solder joints
due to thermal stress) depending on the reflow soldering conditions. Ensure that sufficient verification is performed prior to use
to ensure that there are no issues with the PCB/soldering conditions for the chosen application.
● 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.
● If an aluminum-core PCB is used to operate the LEDs, it may cause thermal stress during operation causing 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 LEDs (e.g. housing, gasket/seal, adhesive,
secondary lens, lens cover, thermal grease, etc.) may adhere to the LED glass cover and other areas (e.g. package). 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. In this case, ventilating the environment may improve the
reduction in light output. Perform a light-up test of the chosen application for optical evaluation to ensure that there are no issues.
(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 have a reduction in the radiant flux 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) at low current (≤1mA).
● Failure Criteria: VF<2.0V at IF=0.5mA
If the LED is damaged by transient excess voltages (e.g. ESD), it will cause the Forward Voltage (VF) to decrease.
25
(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=TS+RθJS･W
*TJ=LED Junction Temperature: °C
TA=Ambient Temperature: °C
TS=Soldering Temperature (Anode Side): °C
RθJA=Thermal Resistance from Junction to Ambient: °C/W
RθJS=Thermal Resistance from Junction to TS Measurement Point: °C/W
W=Input Power(IF×VF): W
Anode Cathode
TS Measurement Point
(7) Cleaning
● Do not clean the LEDs. If the LED is cleaned, it may cause damage to the package/glass cover causing issues; ensure that if the
LEDs are cleaned, 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).
● 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.
● This LED emits light in the ultraviolet (UV) region. The UV light from an LED while in operation is intense and harmful; if human
eyes are exposed to this light, it may cause damage to them. Do not look directly or indirectly (e.g. through an optic) at the UV
light. Ensure that if there is a possibility that the UV light reflects off objects and enters the eyes, appropriate protection gear (e.g.
goggles) is used to prevent the eyes from being exposed to the light.
● Ensure that appropriate warning signs/labels are provided both on each of the systems/applications using the UV LEDs, in all
necessary documents (e.g. specification, manual, catalogs, etc.), and on the packaging materials.
26

Handling Precautions for Ultraviolet Light (UV-LEDs) 1/4
●About Ultraviolet Light:

Ultraviolet rays have shorter wavelengths than visible light, generally in the 100-400nm range.
There are three categories depending on the wavelength:
UV-C (200-280nm), UV-B (280-315nm), UV-A (315-400nm)
10nm 400nm 780nm
UV
Visible
X-ray V-UV UV-C UV-B UV-A Infrared
Light
10~200nm 200~280nm 280~315nm 315~400nm
The key features of UV-C, UV-B, and UV-A are summarized below.
UV-C (200 to 280nm):
It is absorbed by the atmospheric layer (the ozone layer) and therefore does not normally reach
the earth’s surface. Due to its strong disinfectant properties, it is highly dangerous to living
organisms.
UV-B (280-315nm):
Most of this is absorbed by the atmospheric layer (99.5%) though some reaches the surface and
is harmful to skin and eyes. This can cause sunburns and skin cancer.
UV-A (315-400nm):
Approximately 5.6% passes through the atmospheric layer without being absorbed and reaches
the surface. Although it is not as harmful as UV-B, prolonged exposure may affect health.

●Dangers of ultraviolet rays (eye damage)

Intense ultraviolet is dangerous to the eyes and can cause snow blindness (photokeratitis),
ultraviolet eye infections (electro-optic ophthalmitis), cataracts, pterygium, and pinguecula. For
environments where workers are exposed to ultraviolet light, protective eyewear is an effective way to
protect the eyes from exposure. To prevent UV rays from entering the eyes from the sides, it is better to
use protective glasses that can cover the whole eye (i.e. goggles). Then the exposure risk is reduced.
For reference, the following is a list of the protective glasses that Nichia uses.
Visible Light Transmittance Wavelength Optical Density

No. Part Number Lens Color
[%] [nm] [OD]
1 YL-335-EX/He-Cd Yellow 75% 193-442 >10
2 YL-717-EX Clear 85% 190-380 >10
●Dangers of ultraviolet rays (skin damage)

Proteins are one of the most important components of living organisms. Ultraviolet rays can
denature proteins. When the skin is exposed to UV light, it damages collagen fibers and elastic fibers.
This results in aging of the skin, damage to DNA, and risk of skin cancer. Avoid exposure of the skin to
UV rays (e.g. gloves, thick long sleeves, wear a mask, etc.).

●Ozone generation from UV rays

At wavelengths of 100-230nm, it can react with oxygen in the air to produce ozone. Ozone is a powerful
oxidizing agent (several times more powerful than chlorine). Due to its powerful oxidizing properties,
ozone can deteriorate rubber and plastics and may affect the human body depending on the concentration.
The figure below shows examples of the spectrums for Nichia's UV products. It shows that Nichia’s UV
products do not pose a risk for ozone generation.

●Summary
When working in an environment that has the potential to expose workers to ultraviolet radiation, the
workers should cover their skin and eyes with protective equipment (e.g. wearing protective glasses,
arm covers, thick long sleeves, protective head gear, and a mask) to avoid ultraviolet radiation exposure
during work. Wearing the proper protective equipment is an effective measure against exposure.
