Data Sheet
CAUTION: InGaN devices are Class 1C HBM ESD sensitive, AlInGaP devices are Class 1B ESD sensitive per JEDEC Standard.
Please observe appropriate precautions during handling and processing. Refer to Application Note AN-1142 for additional details.
Description
The new Avago ALMD-Lx36 oval LED series has the same
or just slightly less luminous intensity than conventional
high brightness, through-hole LEDs.
The new oval LED lamps can be assembled using common
SMT assembly processes and are compatible with indus-
trial re ow soldering processes.
The LEDs are made with an advanced optical grade epoxy
for superior performance in outdoor sign applications.
The surface mount Oval LEDs are speci cally designed for
full color/video signs and indoor or outdoor passenger
information sign applications.
For easy pick and place assembly, the LEDs are shipped
in EIA-compliant tape and reel. Every reel is shipped from
a single intensity and color bin– except the red color–for
better uniformity.

Notes:
1. The luminous intensity is measured on the mechanical axis of the lamp package and it is tested with pulsing condition.
2. The optical axis is closely aligned with the package mechanical axis.
3. Dominant wavelength, λd, is derived from the CIE Chromaticity Diagram and represents the color of the lamp.
4. ½ is the o -axis angle where the luminous intensity is half the on-axis intensity.
5. Tolerance for each bin limit is ± 15%

Notes:
1. The dominant wavelength is derived from the chromaticity Diagram and represents the color of the lamp.
2. The radiant intensity, Ie in watts per steradian, may be found from the equation Ie = IV/V where IV is the luminous intensity in candelas and V is
the luminous e cacy in lumens/watt.

Moisture Sensitivity and Handling
The ALMD-Lx36 series oval package has a Moisture
Sensitive Level 2a rating per JEDEC J-STD-020. Refer to
Avago Application Note AN5305, Handling of Moisture
Sensitive Surface Mount Devices, for additional details
and a review of proper handling procedures.
A. Storage before use
An unopened moisture barrier bag (MBB) can be
stored at < 40° C/90% RH for 12 months. If the actual
shelf life has exceeded 12 months and the humidity
indicator card (HIC) indicates that baking is not
required then it is safe to re ow solder the LEDs per
the original MSL rating.
It is recommended that the MBB not be opened
prior to assembly (e.g. for IQC).
B. Control after opening the MBB
The humidity indicator card (HIC) shall be read
immediately upon opening of the MBB.
The LEDs must be kept at < 30° C/60% RH at all
times, and all high temperature related processes
including soldering, curing or rework need to be
completed within 672 hours.
C. Control for un nished tape and reel parts
Unused LEDs must be stored in a sealed MBB with a
desiccant or desiccator at < 5% RH.
D. Control of assembled boards
If the PCB soldered with the LEDs is to be subjected
to other high temperature processes, the PCB needs
to be stored in a sealed MBB with desiccant or
desiccator at < 5% RH to ensure that all LEDs have
not exceeded their  oor life of 672 hours
E. Baking is required if:
The HIC indicator is not BROWN at 10% and is AZURE
at 5%
The LEDs are exposed to a condition of > 30° C/60%
RH at any time.
The LED  oor life exceeded 672 hours.
The recommended baking condition is: 60 ± 5° C for 20
hours.
