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 Z 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 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 lime, green, cyan, blue, royal blue, red, red-orange, amber and deep red emitters are labeled with a three
digit alphanumeric CAT code following the format below.
A B C
A = Flux bin (J, K, L, M, etc.)
B = Color bin (2, 4, 6, etc.)
C = V
f
bin (4, 5, etc.)
Reels of PC Amber are labeled with the following CAT code format below.
A B C D
A = Flux bin (G, H, J etc.)
BC = Color bin (A1)
D = V
f
bin (5, 6 etc.)
