❓ FAQ

Q: What is the brightness range for the XL-504UBC?
A: Brightness is graded from B5 (3,000-3,500 mcd) to B8 (5,000-6,000 mcd) at IF=20mA.

Q: Is this LED suitable for automotive use?
A: Yes, it operates in -20°C to +85°C and passes high-temperature/humidity tests, but verify AEC-Q102 compliance for critical systems.

Q: What are the soldering requirements?
A: Reflow at 240°C (≤6s) or manual solder at 300°C (3s). Maintain ≥2.0mm distance from the LED body.

Q: Can I use this in high-humidity environments?
A: Yes, it passes 1,000-hour testing at 85°C/85% RH, but conformal coating is recommended for prolonged exposure.

Q: Are there alternative wavelengths available?
A: Yes, wavelength options include HB04 (460-465nm), HB05 (465-470nm), and HB06 (470-475nm).
