OPERATING LIMITS

The maximum current rating of the CMB1306 Pro9 LED depends on the case temperature (Tc) when the LED has reached thermal

equilibrium under steady-state operation. The graphs shown below assume that the system design employs good thermal management

(thermal interface material and heat sink) and may vary when poor thermal management is employed. Either solder pad shown in the

Mechanical Dimensions section on page 17 can be used as the Tc measurement point.

Another important factor in good thermal management is the temperature of the Light Emitting Surface (LES). Cree LED recommends a

maximum LES temperature of 140 °C to ensure optimal LED lifetime. Please refer to the Thermal Design section on page 18 for more

information on LES temperature measurement.
