SM0603UV-395 - Bivar

SM0603UV-395 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended reflow soldering temperature profile for SM0603UV-395?
  Bivar recommends a reflow soldering temperature profile with a peak temperature of 260°C (500°F) for a maximum of 10 seconds, with a ramp-up rate of 3°C/s (5.4°F/s) and a ramp-down rate of 6°C/s (10.8°F/s).
• Is the SM0603UV-395 LED compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
  Yes, the SM0603UV-395 is compatible with lead-free soldering processes, and it meets the requirements of the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive.
• What is the minimum and maximum operating temperature range for the SM0603UV-395?
  The recommended operating temperature range for the SM0603UV-395 is -40°C to 100°C (-40°F to 212°F), but it can withstand storage temperatures from -40°C to 150°C (-40°F to 302°F).
• Can the SM0603UV-395 be used in outdoor applications?
  While the SM0603UV-395 is suitable for indoor applications, it is not recommended for outdoor use due to its lack of environmental protection and potential degradation from UV exposure. For outdoor applications, consider using LEDs with higher environmental protection ratings, such as IP67 or higher.
• What is the typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of the SM0603UV-395?
  The typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of the SM0603UV-395 is around 250°C/W, but this value can vary depending on the specific application, PCB design, and thermal management.
