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.

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

A B C D

Where:

A

–

designates luminous flux bin (example: U=510 to 540 lumens, X=600 to 630 lumens)

designates color bin (example: 13, 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D, 7A, 7B, 7C, 7D)

D

–

designates forward voltage bin (example: G=2.85 to 3.00V, H=3.00 to 3.20V)

Therefore, a LUXEON V with a lumen range of 510 to 540 lm, color bin of 7A and a forward voltage range of 2.85 to 3.00V has the

following CAT code:

U 7 A G

Luminous Flux Bins

Table 5 lists the standard luminous flux bins for LUXEON V emitters. Although several bins are outlined, product availability in a

particular bin varies by production run and by product performance. Not all bins are available in all CCTs.
