Soldering Conditions
Solder not closer than 3mm from the base of the header Following conditions must be avoided during soldering: overheating, ESD, mechanical shock, vibration, Ultrasonic shock, mechanical damage and contamination. Only solder to the package leads. Soldering to the LED header or the cap will result in damage to the device If clamping of the Led is required, mechanical stress on the LED must be minimized Mechanical stress, shock and vibration must be avoided during soldering Do not mount the LED directly on the PCB or heat sink by soldering directly to the LED header or cap Only use non corrosive flux. Only cut device leads at room temperature using an ESD protected tool. Do not apply stress to the leads while hot Do not apply current to the device until it has cooled down to room temperature after soldering. When forming leads, the leads should be bent at a point at least 3mm from the base of the header Form leads prior to soldering Do not use header or can of LED to form leads

Recommended soldering conditions:

Above table contains the maximum specifications for the soldering conditions. However, it is recommended that soldering is always performed at the lowest possible temperature

Cleaning
Cleaning with isopropyl alcohol is recommended. Propanol and ethyl alcohol may also be used. DO NOT USE acetone, chloroseen, trichloroethhylene, or MKS DO NOT USE ultrasonic cleaners

Precautions
Operation
In order to ensure the correct functioning of these LEDs, compliance to the maximum electrical specifications is paramount. These LEDs are particulary sensitive to any current value that exceeds the absolute maximum rating of the product. Any applied current in excess of the maximum specification will cause damage and possible complete and may result in complete failure of the product. The current flowing in a LED is an exponential function of the voltage across it. A small change in voltage can produce a very large change in current and lead to complete failure of the LED. The use of a current regulated drive circuit is recommended for these products. Any attempt to drive these LEDs with a voltage source instead of a current source will cause damage and possible total failure of the product

UV-Radiation
These devices are ultraviolet LEDs. During operation, the LED emit high intensity ultraviolet (UV) light, which is harmful to skin and eyes. UV light is hazardous to skin and may cause cancer. Avoid exposure to UV light when the LED is operational. Precautions must be taken to avoid looking directly at the UV light without the use of UV protective glasses. Do not look directly at the front of the LED or at the LEDs lens when the LED is operational. It is advised, to attach a warning label on products/systems that utilize UV LEDs:

Static Electricity
UVTOP LEDs are ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive. Static electricity and surge voltages seriously damage UV LEDs an may result in complete failure of the device. Precautions must be taken against ESD when handling or operating these devices.
