* Hand soldering must not be performed more than once.

* This LED uses a silicone resin for the encapsulating resin frame or resin area; the silicone resin is soft. If excess pressure is applied

to the silicone resin, it may cause the resin to be damaged, chipped, cracked and/or deformed. If the encapsulating resin frame

and/or resin area are damaged, chipped, cracked and/or deformed, it may cause the wire to break causing a catastrophic failure

(i.e. the LED not to illuminate) and/or reliability issues (e.g. the LED to corrode and/or to become dimmer, the color directivity to

change, etc.).

* Repairing should not be done after the LEDs have been soldered. It should be confirmed beforehand whether the characteristics

of the LEDs will or will not be damaged by repairing.

* When soldering, do not apply stress to the LED while the LED is hot.

* When using an automatic pick-and-place machine, choose an appropriate nozzle for this LED. Using a pick-and-place nozzle with

a smaller diameter than the size of the LED's emitting surface will cause damage to the emitting surface causing a catastrophic

failure (i.e. the LED not to illuminate).

* When flux is used, it should be a halogen free flux. Ensure that the manufacturing process is not designed in a manner where the

flux will come in contact with the LEDs.

* During and/or after soldering an electric wire to the electrode, ensure that tension is not applied to the electric wire. This may

cause the electrode to be damaged and/or reduce the adhesive strength of the electrode to the package.

* If soldering is used to join electric wires to the electrodes, the adhesive strength of the electrode to the package may be reduced

depending on the substances that are found in the solder paste and/or the type of the wire cover that is used. Ensure that there

are no issues with the materials that will be used in the chosen application prior to use.
