Product Bin and Labeling Definitions

Decoding Product Bin Labeling

In the manufacturing of semiconductor products, there are variations in performance around the average values given in the

technical datasheet. For this reason, Lumileds bins LED components for luminous flux or radiometric power, color point, peak or

dominant wavelength and forward voltage.

Reels of LUXEON MZ LEDs are labeled using a 4-digit alphanumeric CAT code following the format below:

A B C D

A

–

designates luminous flux bin (example: M=630 to 680 lumens, T=970 to 1040 lumens)

B

–

designates color bin (example: 1=6500K, 2=5700K, 3=5000K, 5=4000K, 6=3500K, 7=3000K,

8=2700K, 00= Royal Blue)

C

–

designates color space (example: 5=5-step MacAdam Ellipse, 3=3-step MacAdam Ellipse)

D

–

designates forward voltage bin (example: F, G, H)

Therefore, LUXEON MZ with a lumen range of 630 to 680, color bin of 3000K, 5-step MacAdam ellipse and a forward voltage

range of 2.63 to 2.75V for 3 volt parts has the following CAT code:

M 7 5 F

Reels of LUXEON MZ Royal Blue LEDs are labeled using a 3-digit alphanumeric CAT code following the format below:

A B C

A

–

designates radiometric power bin (example: B=4200 to 4400mW, D=4600 to 4800mW)

B

–

designates dominant wavelength bin (example: 5=450 to 455nm, 6=455 to 460nm)

C

–

designates forward voltage bin (example: F, G, H)

Therefore, a Royal Blue LUXEON MZ with a radiometric power range of 4200 to 4400mW, dominant wavelength 450 to 455nm a

forward voltage range of 11.50 to 11.70V for 12 volt parts has the following CAT code:

B 5 H
