1. We recommend manual soldering operations only for repair and
rework purposes. The soldering iron should not exceed 30W in
power. The maximum soldering temperature is 300°C for Pb-Sn solder
and 350°C for lead-free solder for normal lamps and displays. For
blue (typ.:465nm), blue-green (typ.:525nm), and all white LEDs, the
maximum soldering iron temperature is 280°C. Do not place the sol-
dering iron on the component for more than 3 seconds.
2. The tip of the soldering iron should never touch the epoxy
lens.
3. Do not apply stress to the leads when the component is heated above
85°C, otherwise internal wire bonds may be damaged.
4. Through-Hole LEDs are incompatible with reflow soldering.
5. If the LED will undergo multiple soldering passes or face other
processes where the part may be subjected to intense heat, please
check with Kingbright for compatibility.
6. SMD products must be mounted according to specified soldering pad
patterns. Refer to the product datasheet for details. Solder paste must
be evenly applied to each soldering pad to insure proper bonding and
positioning of the component.

General Notes
7. After soldering, allow at least three minutes for the component to cool
down to room temperature before further operations.
8. Recommended PCB pin hole diameters for display products are listed
below :
Round pin type : 2 x pin diameters
Square pin type :
