XLamp mL-E LEDs
storage conditions
XLamp ML-E LEDs that have been removed from the original MBB packaging but not soldered should be stored in one
of the following ways:
?
Store the parts in a rigid metal container with a tight-ftting lid. Verify that the storage temperature is <30
°C, and
place fresh desiccant and an RH indicator in the container to verify that the RH is no greater than 60%.
?
Store the parts in a dry, nitrogen-purged cabinet or container that actively maintains the temperature at <30° and
the RH at no greater than 60%.
?
For short-term store only: LEDs can be resealed in the original MBB bag soon after opening. Fresh desiccant may be
needed. Use the included humidity indicator card to verify <60% RH.
If an environment of <60% RH is not available for storage, XLamp ML-E LEDs should be baked (described above) before
refow soldering.
