XLAMP® XP-G2 LED

REFLOW SOLDERING CHARACTERISTICS

In testing, Cree has found XLamp XP-G2 LEDs to be compatible with JEDEC J-STD-020C, using the parameters listed below. As a general

guideline, Cree recommends that users follow the recommended soldering profile provided by the manufacturer of the solder paste used,

and therefore it is the lamp or luminaire manufacturer’s responsibility to determine applicable soldering requirements.

Note that this general guideline may not apply to all PCB designs and configurations of reflow soldering equipment.
