Notes:
1. The digits are categorized for luminous intensity. The intensity category is designated by a letter on the side of the package.
2. The dominant wavelength, ld, is derived from the CIE chromaticity diagram and represents the single wavelength which defines the
color of the device.
3. Typical specification for reference only. Do not exceed absolute maximum ratings.

Soldering/Cleaning
Cleaning agents from the ketone
family (acetone, methyl ethyl
ketone, etc.) and from the
chlorinated hydrocarbon family
(methylene chloride, trichloro-
ethylene, carbon tetrachloride,
etc.) are not recommended for
cleaning LED parts. All of these
various solvents attack or dissolve
the encapsulating epoxies used
to form the package of plastic
LED parts.
For information on soldering
LEDs, please refer to Application
Note 1027.
