📦 Package, Dimensions & Assembly Notes
The XL-5050UGC-A utilizes the industry-standard 5050 footprint (5.0mm x 5.0mm x 1.6mm).
- Soldering Compatibility: Designed for Infrared Reflow soldering processes.
- Moisture Sensitivity: Classified as MSL 3. Components must be baked according to J-STD-033 if exposed to ambient humidity beyond the floor life to prevent pop-corning damage during reflow.
- Thermal Management: Ensure adequate PCB copper pad area to dissipate heat and maintain junction temperature within safe limits.
📈 Sourcing & Supply Considerations
- Binning Verification: Supply orders should specify brightness (G6-G9) and voltage (N13-3 to N13-5) bin codes to maintain color and power consistency.
- ** authenticity:** Verify packaging meets EIA standards to ensure genuine XINGLIGHT manufacture.
- MSL Handling: Confirm supply chain storage conditions; sealed dry-packs are mandatory for MSL 3 components.
- Lead Time: SMT automated production requires advance planning for stocking specific bin grades.
❓ FAQ
Q: What is the maximum current I can drive the XL-5050UGC-A with continuously?
A: The absolute maximum continuous forward current is 60mA. However, for optimal reliability and lifespan, it is standard practice to de-rate this current, depending on your thermal management solution (PCB layout and ambient temperature).
Q: Can this LED be used in outdoor environments?
A: While the device is rated for storage and operation between -40°C and +85°C, the datasheet highlights indoor lighting applications. For outdoor use, additional protection against UV exposure and moisture ingress (IP rating) is required for the finished luminaire, as the raw component itself is not inherently waterproof.
Q: What does Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 3 mean for my assembly process?
A: MSL 3 means the component can be exposed to a factory floor life of 168 hours (30°C/60% RH) before it must be soldered. If left out longer, or if the vacuum bag is opened and not resealed with desiccant, you must bake the components at 125°C for a specified duration (usually 4-8 hours) prior to reflow soldering to prevent internal cracking.
Q: What is the difference between Dominant Wavelength and Peak Wavelength?
A: Peak Wavelength (525nm) is the wavelength at which the spectral intensity is highest. Dominant Wavelength (515-530nm) is the perceived color of the LED by the human eye, which is more relevant for matching colors in design applications.
Q: How do I interpret the Brightness Grading codes?
A: The XL-5050UGC-A is binned by luminous intensity at 60mA. For example, code 'G6' ranges from 4100-4500 mcd, while 'G9' ranges from 5500-6000 mcd. Procurement must specify the required bin code to ensure uniform brightness across your product batch.
Q: Is the XL-5050UGC-A RoHS compliant?
A: Yes, the datasheet explicitly states that the environmental protection process complies with the RoHS Directive, making it suitable for markets restricting hazardous substances.
