(4) Soldering

Bright View LEDs use a copper alloy lead frame which provides a high thermal conductivity.

Thermal stress such as soldering heat may reduce the reliability of the product; particular

caution should be used to avoid damage prior to and during soldering.

The recommended soldering conditions are listed in the following table.
