Datasheet

White LED, 5 mm
(A) Recommended circuit
(B) The brightness of each LED might appear different due to the differences in the I-V characteristics of those LEDs.
7. Repairing
Repair should not be done after the LEDs have been soldered. When repairing is unavoidable, a double-head soldering iron
should be used. It should be confirmed beforehand whether the characteristics of the LEDs will or will not be damaged by
repairing.
8. ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)
Static Electricity or power surge will damage the LED. Suggestions to prevent ESD damage:
8.1. Use a conductive wrist band or anti- electrostatic glove when handling these LEDs.
8.2. All devices, equipment, and machinery must be properly grounded.
8.3. Work tables, storage racks, etc. should be properly grounded.
8.4. Use ion blower to neutralize the static charge which might have built up on surface of the LEDs plastic lens as
a result of friction between LEDs during storage and handing.
ESD-damaged LEDs will exhibit abnormal characteristics such as high reverse leakage current, low forward voltage, or
“no light up” at low currents.
To verify for ESD damage, check for “light up” and VF of the suspect LEDs at low currents.
The VF of “good” LEDs should be >2.0V@0.1mA for InGaN product and >1.4V@0.1mA for AlInGaP product.
9. Others
9.1 The information included in this document reflects representative usage scenarios and is intended for technical
reference only.
9.2 The part number, type, and specifications mentioned in this document are subject to future change and
improvement without notice. Before production usage customer should refer to the latest datasheet for the
updated specifications.
9.3 When using the products referenced in this document, please make sure the product is being operated within
the environmental and electrical limits specified in the datasheet. If customer usage exceeds the specified limits,
RND will not be responsible for any subsequent issues.
9.4 The LEDs described here are intended to be used for ordinary electronic equipment (such as office equipment,
communication equipment and household applications). Consult RND Sales in advance for information on applications
in which exceptional reliability is required, particularly when the failure or malfunction of the LEDs may directly
jeopardize life or health, such as in aviation, transportation, traffic control equipment, medical and life support
systems and safety devices.
