The label on the minimum packing unit shows ; Part Number, Lot Number, Ranking, Quantity
· In order to protect the BG-LEDs from mechanical shock, we pack them in cardboard boxes
for transportation.
· The BG-LEDs may be damaged if the boxes are dropped or receive a strong impact against them,
so precautions must be taken to prevent any damage.
· The boxes are not water resistant and therefore must be kept away from water and moisture.
· When the BG-LEDs are transported, we recommend that you use the same packing method as Nichia.

7.CAUTIONS
(1) Lead Forming
· When forming leads, the leads should be bent at a point at least 3mm from the base of the epoxy bulb.
Do not use the base of the leadframe as a fulcrum during lead forming.
· Lead forming should be done before soldering.
· Do not apply any bending stress to the base of the lead. The stress to the base may damage the
BG-LED’s characteristics or it may break the BG-LEDs.
· When mounting the BG-LEDs onto a printed circuit board, the holes on the circuit board should be
exactly aligned with the leads of the BG-LEDs. If the BG-LEDs are mounted with stress at the leads,
it causes deterioration of the epoxy resin and this will degrade the BG-LEDs.
(2) Storage
· The BG-LEDs should be stored at 30°C or less and 70%RH or less after being shipped from Nichia and
the storage life limits are 3 months.
If the BG-LEDs are stored for 3 months or more, they can be
stored for a year in a sealed container with a nitrogen atmosphere and moisture absorbent material.
· Nichia BG-LED leadframes are silver plated copper alloy. The silver surface may be affected by
environments which contain corrosive substances. Please avoid conditions which may cause the
BG-LED to corrode, tarnish or discolor. This corrosion or discoloration may cause difficulty during
soldering operations. It is recommended that the BG-LEDs be used as soon as possible.
· Please avoid rapid transitions in ambient temperature, especially, in high humidity environments where
condensation can occur.
(3) Static Electricity
· Static electricity or surge voltage damages the BG-LEDs.
It is recommended that a wrist band or an anti-electrostatic glove be used when handling the BG-LEDs.
· All devices, equipment and machinery must be properly grounded. It is recommended that precautions
be taken against surge voltage to the equipment that mounts the BG-LEDs.
· When inspecting the final products in which BG-LEDs were assembled, it is recommended to check
whether the assembled BG-LEDs are damaged by static electricity or not.
It is easy to find
static-damaged BG-LEDs by a light-on test or a VF test at a lower current (below 1mA is recommended).
· Damaged BG-LEDs will show some unusual characteristics such as the leak current remarkably
increases, the forward voltage becomes lower, or the BG-LEDs do not light at the low current.
Criteria : (VF > 2.0V at IF=0.5mA)

Nichia STS-DA1-0098
<Cat.No.080222>
(4) Soldering Conditions
· Nichia BG-LED leadframes are silver plated copper alloy.
This substance has a low
thermal coefficient (easily conducts heat).
Careful attention should be paid during soldering.
· Solder the BG-LED no closer than 3mm from the base of the epoxy bulb.
Soldering beyond the base
of the tie bar is recommended.
· Recommended soldering conditions
Dip Soldering
Hand Soldering
Pre-Heat
120°C Max.
Temperature
350°C Max.
Pre-Heat Time
60 seconds Max.
Soldering Time
3 seconds Max.
Solder Bath
260°C Max.
Position
No closer than 3 mm from the
base of the epoxy bulb.
Temperature
Dipping Time
10 seconds Max.
Dipping Position
No lower than 3 mm from the
base of the epoxy bulb.
· Although the recommended soldering conditions are specified in the above table, dip or hand
soldering at the lowest possible temperature is desirable for the BG-LEDs.
· A rapid-rate process is not recommended for cooling the BG-LEDs down from the peak temperature.
· Dip soldering should not be done more than one time.
· Hand soldering should not be done more than one time.
· Do not apply any stress to the lead particularly when heated.
· The BG-LEDs must not be repositioned after soldering.
· After soldering the BG-LEDs, the epoxy bulb should be protected from mechanical shock or vibration
until the BG-LEDs return to room temperature.
· Direct soldering onto a PC board should be avoided.
Mechanical stress to the resin may be caused
from warping of the PC board or from the clinching and cutting of the leadframes.
When it is
absolutely necessary, the BG-LEDs may be mounted in this fashion but the User will assume
responsibility for any problems.
Direct soldering should only be done after testing has confirmed that
no damage, such as wire bond failure or resin deterioration, will occur.
Nichia’s BG-LEDs should not
be soldered directly to double sided PC boards because the heat will deteriorate the epoxy resin.
· When it is necessary to clamp the BG-LEDs to prevent soldering failure, it is important to minimize
the mechanical stress on the BG-LEDs.
· Cut the BG-LED leadframes at room temperature. Cutting the leadframes at high temperatures may
cause failure of the BG-LEDs.
(5) Heat Generation
· Thermal design of the end product is of paramount importance.
Please consider the heat generation
of the BG-LED when making the system design. The coefficient of temperature increase per input
electric power is affected by the thermal resistance of the circuit board and density of BG-LED
placement on the board, as well as other components. It is necessary to avoid intense heat generation
and operate within the maximum ratings given in this specification.
· The operating current should be decided after considering the ambient maximum temperature of BG-LEDs.

Nichia STS-DA1-0098
<Cat.No.080222>
(6) Cleaning
· It is recommended that isopropyl alcohol be used as a solvent for cleaning the BG-LEDs. When using
other solvents, it should be confirmed beforehand whether the solvents will dissolve the resin or not.
Freon solvents should not be used to clean the BG-LEDs because of worldwide regulations.
· Do not clean the BG-LEDs by the ultrasonic. When it is absolutely necessary, the influence of ultrasonic
cleaning on the BG-LEDs depends on factors such as ultrasonic power and the assembled condition.
Before cleaning, a pre-test should be done to confirm whether any damage to the BG-LEDs will occur.
(7) Safety Guideline for Human Eyes
· In 1993, the International Electric Committee (IEC) issued a standard concerning laser product safety
(IEC 825-1). Since then, this standard has been applied for diffused light sources (BG-LEDs) as well
as lasers.
In 1998 IEC 60825-1 Edition 1.1 evaluated the magnitude of the light source.
In 2001 IEC 60825-1 Amendment 2 converted the laser class into 7 classes for end products.
Components are excluded from this system. Products which contain visible BG-LEDs are now
classified as class 1. Products containing UV LEDs are class 1M. Products containing BG-LEDs can
be classified as class 2 in cases where viewing angles are narrow, optical manipulation intensifies the
light, and/or the energy emitted is high. For these systems it is recommended to avoid long term
exposure. It is also recommended to follow the IEC regulations regarding safety and labeling
of products.
(8) Others
· NSPE510DS complies with RoHS Directive.
· If the BG-LEDs are being used after being fixed into a case (container, box, etc...) the BG-LEDs must not
be mounted so that the epoxy lens is pressed or glued onto a plastic (or metal) board.
· Flashing lights have been known to cause discomfort in people; you can prevent this by taking
precautions during use. Also, people should be cautious when using equipment that has had BG-LEDs
incorporated into it.
· These BG-LEDs are designed and manufactured for standard applications of traffic signals.
It is recommended to consult with Nichia in advance if these BG-LEDs are used for other applications.
· User shall not reverse engineer by disassembling or analysis of the BG-LEDs without having prior written
consent from Nichia.
When defective BG-LEDs are found, the User shall inform Nichia directly
before disassembling or analysis.
· The formal specifications must be exchanged and signed by both parties before large volume purchase begins.
· The appearance and specifications of the product may be modified for improvement without notice.
