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 UV FC1 LEDs are labeled using a 4-digit alphanumeric CAT code following the format below:
A B c D
A

designates radiometric power bin (example: B=300 to 350mW, D=400 to 450mW, F=500 to 550mW)
designates peak wavelength bin (example: Ax=380 to 385nm, Cx=390 to 395nm, Ex=400 to 405nm)
designates forward voltage bin (example: 8=2.8 to 2.9V, 0=3.0 to 3.1V)

D
Therefore, a LUXEON UV FC1 with a radiometric power range of 400 to 450mW, peak wavelength range of 400 to 405nm and a
forward voltage range of 3.0 to 3.1V has the following CAT code:
D E x 0
LUXEON UV FC2 LEDs are labeled using a 5-digit alphanumeric CAT code following the format below

Therefore, a LUXEON UV FC2 with a radiometric power range of 1000 to 1200mW, peak wavelength range of 400 to 405nm and a
forward voltage range of 3.0 to 3.1V has the following CAT code:
