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 Rebel Emitters are labeled using a three or four digit alphanumeric code (CAT code) depicting the bin values for emit
ters 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 Green, Cyan, Blue, Royal Blue, Red, Red Orange and Amber Emitters are labeled with a three digit alphanumeric CAT
code following the format below.
ABC
A = Flux bin (J, H, J, K etc.)
B = Color bin (2, 4, 6 etc.)
C = V_F bin (D, E, F, G etc.)
Reels of Cool White, Neutral White and Warm 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.)
