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 technical 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 Color Portfolio 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 green, cyan, blue, royal-blue, red, red-orange, amber and PC amber emitters are labeled with a three digit alphanumeric CAT code following
the format below.
ABC
A = Flux bin (J, K, L, M etc.)
B = Color bin (2, 4, 6 etc.)
C = V_f bin (D, E, F, G etc.)
