Recommended Solder Pad Design

● All dimensions are in millimeters.

● Electrical isolation is required between Slug and Solder Pad.

Heat Plate Soldering Condition
(1) Soldering Process for Solder Paste (2) Soldering Process for Solder Wire

Solder Paste

MCPCB

Heat Plate
MCPCB
Use Solder Mask to print Solder Paste on MCPCB. Put MCPCB on Heat Plate.

Emitter Solder Wire

Heat Plate

Place Emitter on MCPCB. Place Solder Wire to the solder pad of MCPCB.

Emitter

Heat Plate Heat Plate

Put MCPCB on Heat Plate until Solder Paste melt. Put Emitter on MCPCB. Take the MCPCB out
The Solder Paste sould be melted within 10 seconds. from Heat Plate within 10 seconds.
Take out MCPCB out from Heat Plate within 15 seconds.

● Heat plate temperature: 230°C max for Lead Solder and 230°C max for Lead-Free Solder.
● We recommend using the 58Bi-42Sn eutectic alloy for low-temp. and lead free soldering (melting point = 138 °C).
● When soldering, do not put stress on the LEDs during heating.
● After soldering, do not warp the circuit board.

Manual Hand Soldering

Thermal Conductive Glue Solder Wire
MCPCB Soldering Iron
Emitter

Place Thermal Comductive Glue Place Emitter on the MCPCB. Use Soldering Iron to solder the
on the MCPCB. leads of Emtter within 5 seconds.
● For prototype builds or small series production runs it possible to place and solder the emitters by hand.
● Solder tip temperature: 230°C max for Lead Solder and 260°C max for Lead-Free Solder.
● Avoiding damage to the emitter or to the MCPCB dielectric layer. Damage to the epoxy layer can cause

a short circuit in the array.

● Do not let the solder contact from solder pad to back-side of MCPCB. This one will cause a short circuit

and damage emitter.

Emitter Tube Packaging

Star Tube Packaging

Notes:
1. Emitter 50 pieces per tube and Star 20 pieces per tube.
2. Drawing not to scale.
3. All dimensions are in millimeters.
4. All dimendions without tolerances are for reference only.

**Please do not open the moisture barrier bag (MBB) more than one week. This may cause the leads
of LED discoloration. We recommend storing ProLight’s LEDs in a dry box after opening the MBB.
The recommended storage conditions are temperature 5 to 30°C and humidity less than 40% RH.

12
Precaution for Use
● Storage
Please do not open the moisture barrier bag (MBB) more than one week. This may cause the
leads of LED discoloration. We recommend storing ProLight’s LEDs in a dry box after opening
the MBB. The recommended storage conditions are temperature 5 to 30°C and humidity less
than 40% RH. It is also recommended to return the LEDs to the MBB and to reseal the MBB.
● The slug is is not electrically neutral. Therefore, we recommend to isolate the heat sink.

● The slug is to be soldered. If not, please use the heat conductive adhesive.

● Any mechanical force or any excess vibration shall not be accepted to apply during cooling

process to normal temperature after soldering.

● Please avoid rapid cooling after soldering.

● Components should not be mounted on warped direction of PCB.

● Repairing should not be done after the LEDs have been soldered. When repairing is unavoidable,

a heat plate should be used. It should be confirmed beforehand whether the characteristics of
the LEDs will or will not be damaged by repairing.
● This device should not be used in any type of fluid such as water, oil, organic solvent and etc.

When cleaning is required, isopropyl alcohol should be used.

● When the LEDs are illuminating, operating current should be decide after considering the

package maximum temperature.

● The appearance, specifications and flux bin of the product may be modified for improvement

without notice. Please refer to the below website for the latest datasheets.
