In testing, Cree has found XLamp XB-D LeDs to be compatible with JeDeC J-STD-020C, using the parameters listed 
below. As a general guideline, Cree recommends that users follow the recommended soldering profile provided by the 
manufacturer of solder paste used.

Note that this general guideline is offered as a starting point and may require adjustment for certain PCB designs and 
configurations of reflow soldering equipment.
