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 (Vf).
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 =Vf bin (D, E, F, G etc.)
