📦 Package, Dimensions & Assembly Notes
The XL-3020UGC-A utilizes a standard 3020 (3.0mm x 2.0mm) surface mount package with a height of 1.3mm. This footprint is common in the industry, making it compatible with most automated pick-and-place equipment.
- Packaging: 📦 The product is shipped in EIA standard compliant tape and reel packaging, suitable for high-volume SMT automatic production.
- Soldering Profile: 🔥 The device is rated for Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 3. It is designed to withstand infrared reflow soldering processes.
- Lead-Free Process: Peak temp max 255°C (Time above 217°C: 60-120s).
- Lead Process: Peak temp max 235°C (Time above 183°C: 60-150s).
- Handling: Ensure the storage environment meets MSL 3 requirements (floor life of 168 hours at 30°C/60% RH) after opening the moisture barrier bag to prevent popcorning during reflow.
🤝 Sourcing & Supply Considerations
When integrating the XL-3020UGC-A into your supply chain, consider the following factors to ensure production continuity and component authenticity:
- Bin Selection: 📈 Verify the specific Brightness (F8-G1) and Voltage (N13) grading codes required for your design to ensure uniformity across batches.
- Sample Evaluation: ✅ Always request samples from XINGLIGHT or authorized distributors to validate the color binning and thermal performance in your specific fixture.
- Authenticity: 🔒 Source components through verified channels to avoid counterfeits which often lack the specified RoHS compliance or reliability standards.
- Lead Time: 📅 Confirm stock availability for the specific "Emerald Green" wavelength bin, as popular color temperatures may have varying lead times.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the MSL rating of the XL-3020UGC-A? A: The XL-3020UGC-A has a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 3. This means it can be exposed to a maximum of 168 hours (1 week) of floor life at 30°C/60% RH after the dry pack is opened before baking or reflow is required to prevent moisture-induced damage.
Q: Can this LED be used in outdoor lighting fixtures? A: While the storage and operating temperatures range from -40°C to +85°C, the datasheet primarily highlights Indoor and Commercial lighting (lightboxes). For outdoor use, additional protective measures (e.g., conformal coating or IP-rated housing) are necessary to protect the SMD component from direct water exposure and UV degradation.
Q: What is the recommended soldering profile for this component? A: The LED is suitable for standard Infrared Reflow. For a lead-free process, the peak temperature should not exceed 255°C, with time above 217°C limited to 60-120 seconds. For leaded processes, the peak is 235°C. Manual soldering should not exceed 260°C for longer than 6 seconds.
Q: How do I select the correct bin code for my design? A: You must select bins based on your optical and electrical driver constraints. Brightness Bins (F8, F9, G1) determine intensity (2200-2900 mcd). Voltage Bins (N13-3 to N13-5) range from 2.8V to 3.4V. Ensure your LED driver can supply a constant current of 20mA across the maximum forward voltage of the selected bin.
Q: What is the ESD tolerance for this model? A: The XL-3020UGC-A has an Antistatic ability (ESD) of 2000V. Standard ESD precautions (wrist straps, grounded mats) are mandatory during handling and assembly to prevent latent damage that reduces luminous intensity or lifespan.
