(5) Handling Precautions

· Bare Hand

When handling the product, touching encapsulant with bare hands will contaminate its surface that could

affects on optical characteristics. In the worst cases, excessive force to the encapsulant by hands might

result in catastrophic failure of the LEDs due to wire deformation and/or breakage.

· Tweezers

When handling it with tweezers, the product should only be held by the ceramic body, not by the

encapsulant. Failure to comply might result in chip-out and/or delamination of encapsulant, and in the

worst cases, catastrophic failure of the LEDs due to wire deformation and/or breakage.

· Pick and Place

(more than 30% of encapsulant top surface)**

(15 to 85% of encapsulant top surface)**

**For reference.

Failure to comply might result in damage to encapsulant and in the worst cases,

catastrophic failure of the LEDs due to wire deformation and/or breakage.
