Figure 9. Case example of a series-parallel configuration showing how the current-voltage

curve shifts when one LED fails short.

Figure 10. Thermal run-away on LED string #2 due to increased current, therefore, heating, will further shift its current-voltage

curve to the left and increase the LED string #2 current from If

4. Assembly Process Guidelines

LUXEON N is designed to be compatible with standard SMT processes. A SMT process typically consists of SMT

components, PCBs, stencil plate, solder paste, pick and place machine, solder heat reflow oven and optional x-ray and

cleaning equipment.
