NUVA Precautions

Precautions for storage, handling and use of UV LED components

Storage Conditions:

Before opening moisture barrier bag: 5°C ~ 30°C 50% RH. Use within 1 year from the delivery date

After opening moisture barrier bag: 5°C ~ 30°C 60% RH. Solder with 672 hours

Baking conditions: 65°C ± 5° 10% RH 10 ~ 24 hours

ESD Precautions:

LEDs are sensitive to static electricity or surge voltage and current. Electrostatic discharge can damage LED

components and affect component reliability. When handling LEDs the following measures against ESD are

recommended :

1. Wear a wrist strap, anti-static clothes, foot wear and gloves.

2. Set up a grounded or anti-static paint floors, a grounded or the ability to surge protection workstation equipment

and tools.

3. Work tables and benches should have surface mat made of a conductive materials. Appropriate grounding is

required for all devices, equipment, and machinery used in the product assembly.

4. Incorporate surge protection when reviewing the design of products (Curing Module, etc).

5. If tools or equipment contain insulating materials such as glass or plastics are used the following measures against

ESD are strongly recommended :

a. Dissipating static charge with conductive materials

b. Preventing charge generation with moisture

c. Plug in the ionizing blowers(ionizer) for neutralizing the charge

d. The customer is advised to check if the LEDs are damaged by ESD when performing the characteristics

inspection of the LEDs in the application.

e. Damage of LED can be detected with a forward voltage checking(measuring) at low current(≤1mA). LEDs

damaged by ESD may have a current flow at a low voltage.
