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, Philips Lumileds bins the LED components for luminous fl ux, color and forward voltage (V
f
).
Decoding Product Bin Labeling
LUXEON Rebel 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.
Reels of Cool-White, Neutral-White and Warm-White Emitters are labeled with a four digit alphanumeric CAT code following the format below.
ABCD
A = Flux bin (J, K, L, M etc.)
B and C = Color bin (W0, U0, V0 etc.)
D = V
f
bin (D, E, F, G etc.)
