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, radiometric power, color point, peak
wavelength, dominant wavelength and forward voltage.
LUXEON C Color Line LEDs are labeled using a 4-digit alphanumeric CAT code following the format below:
A B C D
Where:
A
–
–
–
designates luminous flux bin or radiometric power bin (luminous flux bin example: A=20 to 25 lm,
B=25 to 30 lm; radiometric power bin example: Far Red C=280 to 320mW, Royal Blue J=520 to 560mW)
B C
D
designates color bin, peak wavelength bin or dominant wavelength bin (peak wavelength bin example: Deep
Red 10=655 to 665nm; dominant wavelength bin example: Red 40=624 to 634nm)
designates forward voltage bin (example: A=1.70 to 1.90V, B=1.90 to 2.10V)
Therefore, a LUXEON C Red LED with a lumen range of 20 to 25 lm, a dominant wavelength of 624 to 634nm and a forward
voltage range of 1.70 to 1.90V has the following CAT code:
A 4 0 A
