Manual HandlingUse plastic, not metal, tweezers to grab XLamp MH Family LeDs at the sides of the substrate, i.e., at the base. Do not touch the optical
surface with tweezers. Do not touch the optical surface with fingers. Do not push on the optical surface.
Cree recommends the following at all times when handling XLamp MH Family LeDs or assemblies containing these LeDs:
• Avoid putting mechanical stress on the LeD optical surface.
• Never touch the optical surface with fingers or sharp objects. The LED optical surface could become soiled or damaged, which would
affect the optical performance of the LeD.
• Cree recommends always handling MH Family LeDs with appropriate eSD grounding.
pick & place nozzleThe following diagrams show examples of pick & place tools to remove MH Family LeDs from the factory tape and reel packaging. Cree
recommends using a spring‑relieved pick and place nozzle with a spring constant of 0.519 lb‑ft (0.704 N‑m). For pick and place nozzles
coming into contact with silicone-covered LeD components, Cree recommends nozzles be constructed of non-metallic materials. Cree
and several of Cree’s customers have had good success using nozzles fabricated from 95a urethane.

XLamp MH Family LeD case temperature (Ts) should be measured on the PCB surface, as close to the LeD’s thermal pad as possible.
This measurement point is shown in the picture below.
It is not required to use a solder footprint for the thermal pad that is larger than the XLamp MH Family LeD itself. In testing, Cree has found
such a solder pad to have insignificant impact on the resulting Ts measurement.

RECOMMENDED PCB SOLDER PADRECOMMENDED STENCIL PATTERN(HATCHED AREA IS OPENING)
XLamp MH Family LEDs are designed to be reflow soldered to a PCB. Reflow soldering may be done by a reflow oven or by placing the
PCB on a hotplate and following the reflow soldering profile listed on page 9.
Do not wave solder XLamp MH Family LeDs. Do not hand solder XLamp MH Family LeDs.
Solder Paste TypeCree strongly recommends using “no clean” solder paste with XLamp MH Family LEDs so that cleaning the PCB after reflow soldering is
not required. Cree uses Kester® R276 solder paste internally.
Cree recommends the following solder paste compositions: SnAgCu (tin/silver/copper) and SnAg (tin/silver).
Solder Paste ThicknessThe choice of solder and the application method will dictate the specific amount of solder. For the most consistent results, an automated
dispensing system or a solder stencil printer is recommended. Cree has seen positive results using solder thickness that results in a 4-mil
(102‑μm) bond line, i.e., the solder joint thickness after reflow soldering.
After SolderingAfter soldering, allow XLamp MH Family LeDs to return to room temperature before subsequent handling. Premature handling of the
device, especially around the optical surface, could result in damage to the LeD.
Cree recommends verifying that soldered LeDs are not tilted, a situation called tombstoning. As a general guideline, an LeD is tilted when
the part has a low edge touching the PCB surface and a high edge above the PCB surface.
Cree recommends verifying the solder process by checking the consistency of the solder bond of several trial PCBs after reflow. After
shearing selected devices from the circuit board the solder should appear completely re‑flowed (no solder grains evident). The solder
areas should show minimum evidence of voids on the backside of the package and the PCB.
Cleaning PCBs After SolderingCree recommends using “no clean” solder paste so that flux cleaning is not necessary after reflow soldering. If PCB cleaning is necessary,
Cree recommends the use of isopropyl alcohol (IPA).
Do not use ultrasonic cleaning.
MoIsturE sEnsItIVIty
Cree recommends keeping XLamp LeDs in the provided, resealable moisture-barrier packaging (MBP) until immediately prior to soldering.
Unopened MBPs that contain XLamp LeDs do not need special storage for moisture sensitivity.
Once the MBP is opened, XLamp MH Family LEDs may be stored as MSL 1 per JEDEC J‑STD‑033, meaning they have unlimited floor life
in conditions of ≤ 30 ºC/85% relative humidity (RH). Regardless of the storage condition, Cree recommends sealing any unsoldered LEDs
in the original MBP.
LoW tEMpEraturE opEratIon
The minimum operating temperature of these XLamp LED components is ‑40 °C. To maximize lifetime, Cree recommends avoiding
applications where the lamps are cycled on and off more than 10,000 cycles at temperatures below 0 °C.

Below are representative lists of chemicals and materials to be used or avoided in LeD manufacturing activities. For a complete and
current list of recommended chemicals, conformal coatings and harmful chemicals consult Cree’s Chemical Compatibility Application
Note. The video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=t24bf9D_1SA illustrates the process Cree has developed for testing the compatibility of
chemicals and materials with LeDs. You should also consult your regional Cree Field Applications engineer.
Recommended Cleaning SolutionsCree has found the following chemicals to be safe to use with XLamp MH Family LeDs.
• Water
• Isopropyl alcohol (IPA)
Chemicals Tested as HarmfulIn general, subject to the specifics in Cree’s Chemical Compatibility Application Note, Cree has found certain chemicals to be harmful to
XLamp MH Family LeDs. Cree recommends not using these chemicals anywhere in an LeD system containing XLamp MH Family LeDs.
The fumes from even small amounts of the chemicals may damage the LeDs.• Chemicals that might outgas aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., toluene, benzene, xylene)• Methyl acetate or ethyl acetate (i.e., nail polish remover)• Cyanoacrylates (i.e., “Superglue”)• Glycol ethers (including Radio Shack® Precision electronics Cleaner - dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether)
• Formaldehyde or butadiene (including Ashland® PLIOBOND® adhesive)
Hermetically Sealing LuminairesFor proper LeD operation and to avoid potential lumen depreciation and/or color shift, LeDs of all types must operate in an environment
that contains oxygen. Simply allowing the LEDs to ventilate to air is sufficient; no extraordinary measures are required. Hermetically
sealing LeDs in an enclosed space is not recommended.
All Cree carrier tapes conform to eIA-481D, Automated Component Handling Systems Standard.
