Manual Handling
Use tweezers to grasp the XLamp MX LeDs at the base. Do not touch the top surface of the LeD with tweezers.
Cree recommends the following at all times when handling XLamp MX Family LeDs or assemblies containing these LeDs:
•
Never touch the optical surface with fingers or sharp objects. The LED lens surface could be soiled or damaged, which would affect
the optical performance of the LeD.
•
Cree recommends always handling MX family LeDs with appropriate eSD grounding.
•
Cree recommends handling MX family LeDs wearing clean, lint-free gloves.
pick & place nozzle
For pick and place nozzles coming into contact with silicone-covered LeD components, Cree recommends nozzles be constructed of non-
metallic materials. Cree and several of Cree’s customers have had good success using nozzles fabricated from 90d urethane.
Whenever possible, Cree recommends the use of a pick & place tool to remove the XLamp MX LeDs from the factory tape & reel packaging.
Cree recommends the pickup tool shown below for XLamp MX Family of LeDs.
