Product Binning and Labeling
Purpose of Product Binning
In the manufacturing of semiconductor products, there is a variation of performance around the average values given
in the technical data sheets. For this reason, Lumileds bins the LED components for luminous ux, color and forward
voltage (V
f
).
Decoding Product Bin Labeling
LUXEON Rebel Color Portfolio emitters are labeled using a three or four digit alphanumeric code (CAT code)
depicting the bin values for emitters packaged on a single reel. All emitters packaged within a reel are of the same
3-variable bin combination. Using these codes, it is possible to determine optimum mixing and matching of products
for consistency in a given application.
Format of Labeling for Emitters
Reels of green, cyan, blue, royal blue, red, red-orange, amber and PC amber emitters are labeled with a three digit
alphanumeric CAT code following the format below.
ABC
A = Flux bin (J, K, L, M etc.)
B = Color bin (2, 4, 6 etc.)
C = V
f
bin (D, E, F, G, etc.)
Reels of lime are labeled with the following CAT code format below.
ABCD
A = Flux bin (F, G, H, etc.)
BC = Color bin (A0)
D = V
f
bin (P,R)
