Application Note No. AN149
Handling of the OSRAM OSTAR
Application Note
Abstract
The OSRAM OSTAR
highest luminance and are specially designed for projection
applications. Different versions and designs offer the best
implementation possible in the application. In addition to
thermal management, correct handling and processing of the
LEDs are essential for a successful application. This application
note provides a recommendation for the appropriate handling
and processing of the different versions of the LED family.

    Figure 18: Recommended pick-and-place nozzle from ASM SIPLACE SIPLACE Nozzle 3081899 Solder pad design Since the solder pad effectively creates the direct contact between the LED and the circuit board, the design of the solder pad contributes decisively to the performance of the solder connection.
  • Page 16: Solder Stencil

    Proper solder paste printing increases the solder quality. Effects such as solder bridges, solder balling, solder spray and/or other soldering defects are largely determined by the design of the stencil apertures and the quality of the stencil printing (e.g. positioning, cleanliness of the stencil, etc.). For the OSRAM ® OSTAR Projection Power a stencil thickness of 120 μm is recommended.
