Product Bin and Labeling Definitions
Decoding Product Bin Labeling
In the manufacturing of semiconductor products, there are variations in performance around the average values given in the
technical datasheet. For this reason, Lumileds bins LED components for luminous flux or radiometric power, color point, peak or
dominant wavelength and forward voltage.
LUXEON 3535L Red, Red-Orange, Green, Blue and Royal Blue LEDs are labeled using a 3-digit alphanumeric CAT code following the
format below:
A B C
Where:
A
B
C
–

–
designates luminous flux bin (example: L=32.0 to 36.0 lumens, R=48.0 to 52.0 lumens)
designates radiometric bin (example: B, C, D, E, F, G, H) or dominant/peak wavelength bin (example: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
designates forward voltage bin (example: C=2.00 to 2.25V, G=3.00 to 3.25V)
Therefore, a Red-Orange LUXEON 3535L LED with a lumen range of 15.0 to 17.0, dominant wavelength range of 610 to 620nm
and a forward voltage range of 2.00 to 2.25V has the following CAT code:
E 2 C
LUXEON 3535L PC Amber and Lime LEDs are labeled using a 4-digit alphanumeric CAT code following the format below:
A B C D
Where:
A

designates luminous flux bin (example: L=32.0 to 36.0 lumens, R=48.0 to 52.0 lumens)
designates color bin (example: A0, L0 or L1)
B C
D
designates forward voltage bin (example: W=3.00 to 3.10V, Z=3.30 to 3.50V)
Therefore, a Lime LUXEON 3535L LED with a lumen range of 32.0 to 36.0, color bin of L0 and a forward voltage range of 3.00 to
3.10V has the following CAT code:
L L 0 W
