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 components for luminous flux or radiometric power, color point, peak or
dominant wavelength and forward voltage.
LUXEON IR Domed for Automotive Line emitters are labeled using a 4-digit alphanumeric CAT code following the format below:
A B C D
Where:
A
–

designates radiometric power bin (example: L=1000 to 1100mW, N=1200 to 1300mW)
designates peak wavelength bin (example: 8K=845nm to 850nm, 9H=935nm to 940nm)
designates forward voltage bin (example: D=2.5 to 3.0V, F=3.5 to 4.0V)

D
Therefore, a LUXEON IR Domed for Automotive emitter with a radiometric power range of 1200 to 1300mW, peak wavelength
range of 845 to 850nm and a forward voltage range of 2.5 to 3.0V has the following CAT code:
N 8 K D
Radiometric Power Bins
Table 5 lists the standard radiometric power bins for LUXEON IR Domed for Automotive Line emitters. Although several bins are
outlined, product availability in a particular bin varies by production run and by product performance. Not all bins are available in
all peak wavelengths.
