Product Binning and Labeling
Purpose of Product Binning
In the manufacturing of semiconductor products, there is a variation of performance around the average values given in the tech
nical data sheets. For this reason, Philips Lumileds bins the LED components for luminous flux, color and forward voltage (V_F).
Decoding Product Bin Labeling
LUXEON K2 with TFFC Emitters are labeled using a three or four digit alphanumeric code (CAT code) depicting the bin values for
emitters packaged on a single reel. All emitters packaged within a reel are of the same 3 variable bin combination. Using these
codes, it is possible to determine optimum mixing and matching of products for consistency in a given application.
Format of Labeling for Emitters
Reels of Cool White Emitters are labeled with a four digit alphanumeric CAT code following the format below.
ABCD
A = Flux bin (J, H, J, K etc.)
B and C = Color bin (W0, U0, V0 etc.)
C = V_F bin (D, E, F, G etc.)
