MC-E LED
Binning and Labeling
Introduction
This document describes the product nomenclature required to select and order
Cree XLamp MC-E LEDs. XLamp MC-E LEDs are tested and sorted into bins which
are then combined into orderable kits identied by an order code.
All XLamp LEDs are tested and sorted by color and brightness into a unique bin.
Each bin contains LEDs from only one color and brightness group and is uniquely
identied by a bin code. White XLamp LEDs are sorted by chromaticity (color) and
luminous ux (brightness). Color XLamp LEDs are sorted by dominant wavelength
(color) and luminous ux (brightness). LEDs are shipped on reels containing LEDs
from one bin and are always labeled with the appropriate bin code.
Kits contain LEDs from a number of similar bins and are fully dened by their order codes. A full explanation of the
order codes for XLamp MC-E, as well as a list of standard order codes, is provided in this document.
