Cree Xlamp Ml Family leDs

inTroDuCTion
This document describes the product nomenclature
required to select and order Cree’s XLamp
®
mL family
of LeDs. XLamp mL family LeDs are tested and sorted
into bins which are then combined into orderable kits
identified by an order code.
All XLamp LeDs are tested and sorted by color and
brightness into a unique bin. each bin contains
LeDs from only one color and brightness group and
is uniquely identified by a bin code. White XLamp
LeDs are sorted by chromaticity (color) and luminous
flux (brightness). Color XLamp LEDs are sorted by
dominant wavelength (color) and luminous flux
(brightness). LeDs are shipped on reels containing
LeDs from one bin and are always labeled with the
appropriate bin code.
Kits contain LeDs from a number of similar bins and
are fully defined by their order codes. A full explanation
of the order codes for XLamp mL family LeDs, as well
as a list of standard order codes, is provided in this
document.

Flux codes F0, G0, H0 and J0 are further subdivided into F2, F3, G2, G3 and H2, H3, respectively. Orders for the F0
flux code may be filled with either F2 or F3 sub-codes, orders for the G0 flux code may be filled with either G2 or G3
sub-codes, orders for the H0 flux code may be filled with H2 or H3 sub-codes, and orders for the J0 flux code may
be filled with J2 or J3 sub-codes.
