Introduction This application brief addresses the recommended assembly and handling procedures for the LUXEON 3528 RGB emitter. This emitter is a compact 3-in-1 package that offers flexibility and versatility. With the ability to control individually or all at the same time the color control is precise.
A chamfer on the corner of the package marks the cathode side of the emitter package. The light emitting surface (LES) is encapsulated with silicone to protect the chips. The LUXEON 3528 RGB package is ESD HBM rated at ≥2kV (Class 2, JEDEC JS-001-2012) and does not include a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) chip.
2.4 Minimum Spacing Lumileds proposes a minimum edge to edge spacing between LUXEON emitters of 0.5mm. Placing multiple LUXEON emitters too close to each other may adversely impact the ability of the PCB to dissipate the heat from the emitters.
Note that pick and place nozzles are customer specific and are typically machined to fit specific pick and place tools. Lumileds advises customers to take the following general pick and place guidelines into account: The nozzle tip should be clean and free of any particles since they may interact with the top surface of the silicone encapsulation of the LUXEON emitter package.
Table 2 provides a list of commonly used chemicals that should be avoided as they may react with the silicone material. Note that Lumileds does not warrant that this list is exhaustive since it is impossible to determine all chemicals that may...
