DLA/6GD datasheet by Kingbright

DLA/6GD Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended storage condition for DLA/6GD LEDs?
  Store the LEDs in a dry, cool place with a temperature range of 10°C to 30°C and humidity below 60%. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
• Can I use DLA/6GD LEDs in outdoor applications?
  Yes, but with caution. While the LEDs are designed to withstand some environmental stress, they may not be suitable for extreme outdoor conditions. Consider using additional protection such as conformal coating or potting to ensure reliability.
• What is the maximum soldering temperature for DLA/6GD LEDs?
  The recommended soldering temperature is below 260°C for a maximum of 3 seconds. Exceeding this temperature or time may damage the LED or affect its performance.
• Can I drive DLA/6GD LEDs with a higher current than the recommended maximum?
  No, it's not recommended to exceed the maximum current rating (20mA for DLA/6GD) as it may reduce the LED's lifespan, increase heat generation, and affect its overall performance.
• How do I handle ESD protection for DLA/6GD LEDs?
  Use proper ESD protection measures such as wrist straps, mats, and packaging to prevent static electricity damage. Kingbright also recommends using anti-static bags or tubes for storage and transportation.
