Application Note AN31 provides mechanical and electrical assembly recommendations for Bridgelux Vero, Vero SE, and Vesta SE LED Arrays.
This document serves as a guide for the mechanical and electrical assembly of Bridgelux Vero, Vero SE, and Vesta SE LED Arrays into lighting systems. It outlines requirements for thermal management, electrical connections, and the use of specific components like Molex Pico-EZmate connectors for Vero-series arrays.
The note details critical handling procedures, including avoiding contact with the optical area and yellow phosphor resin, and recommends using gloves or finger cots. It also covers chemical compatibility, listing harmful substances such as certain solvents and acids that can degrade the silicone encapsulation, and provides specific guidelines for soldering Vero-series arrays and mechanical fastening.
You must avoid any contact with the optical area and the yellow phosphor resin area, as touching these surfaces can cause damage to the array.
To manually remove the arrays, lift them from the tray by gripping the white plastic portion of the module.
It is recommended to wear finger cots or plastic gloves to prevent dirt or other contaminants from adhering to the LED Arrays.
