Notes
Depending on the mode of operation, these devices emit highly concentrated visible and non visible light
which can be hazardous to the human eye. Products which incorporate these devices have to follow the
safety precautions given in IEC 60825-1.
Subcomponents of this device contain, in addition to other substances, metal flled materials including silver.
Metal flled materials can be afected by environments that contain traces of aggressive substances. There
–
fore, we recommend that customers minimize device exposure to aggressive substances during storage,
production, and use. Devices that showed visible discoloration when tested using the described tests above
did show no performance deviations within failure limits during the stated test duration. Respective failure
limits are described in the IEC60810.
Important notes of operation for laser diode
a) Electrical operation
OSRAMs laser diodes are designed for maximum performance and reliability. Operating the laser diode
above the maximum rating even for very short periods of time can damage the laser diode or reduce its
lifetime. The laser diode must be operated with a suitable power supply with minimized electrical noise.
The laser diode is very sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Proper precautions must be taken.
b) Mounting instructions
In order to maintain the lifetime of the laser diode proper heat management is essential. Due to the design
of the laser diode heat is dissipated only through the base plate of the diode‘s body. A proper heat conduct-
ing interconnection between the diodes base plate and the heat sink must be maintained.

Disclaimer
Attention please!
The information describes the type of component and shall not be considered as assured characteristics.
Terms of delivery and rights to change design reserved. Due to technical requirements components may
contain dangerous substances.
For information on the types in question please contact our Sales Organization.
If printed or downloaded, please fnd the latest version on the OSRAM OS website.
Packing
Please use the recycling operators known to you. We can also help you – get in touch with your nearest
sales ofce. By agreement we will take packing material back, if it is sorted. You must bear the costs of
transport. For packing material that is returned to us unsorted or which we are not obliged to accept, we
shall have to invoice you for any costs incurred.
Product and functional safety devices/applications or medical devices/applications
OSRAM OS components are not developed, constructed or tested for the application as safety relevant
component or for the application in medical devices.
OSRAM OS products are not qualifed at module and system level for such application.
In case buyer – or customer supplied by buyer – considers using OSRAM OS components in product safety
devices/applications or medical devices/applications, buyer and/or customer has to inform the local sales
partner of OSRAM OS immediately and OSRAM OS and buyer and /or customer will analyze and coordi-
nate the customer-specifc request between OSRAM OS and buyer and/or customer.

Glossary
1)
Operating/Forward current:
IF is measured with an internal reproducibility of ±7 % (acc. to GUM with a
coverage factor of k = 3).
2)
Reverse Operation:
This product is intended to be operated applying a forward current within the
specifed range. Applying any continuous reverse bias or forward bias below the voltage range of light
emission shall be avoided because it may cause migration which can change the electro-optical char-
acteristics or damage the LED.
3)
Operating/Forward voltage:
VF is measured with an internal reproducibility of ±0.05 V (acc. to GUM
with a coverage factor of k = 3).
4)
Wavelength:
λpeak is measured with an internal reproducibility of ±0.3 nm (acc. to GUM with a cover
–
age factor of k = 3).
5)
Forward Voltage:
The forward voltages are measured with a tolerance of ±0.1 V.
6)
Wavelength:
The wavelengths are measured with a tolerance of ±1 nm.
7)
Typical Values:
Due to the special conditions of the manufacturing processes of semiconductor devic-
es, the typical data or calculated correlations of technical parameters can only refect statistical fgures.
These do not necessarily correspond to the actual parameters of each single product, which could dif-
fer from the typical data and calculated correlations or the typical characteristic line. If requested, e.g.
because of technical improvements, these typ. data will be changed without any further notice.
8)
Testing temperature:
TA = 25°C (unless otherwise specifed)
9)
Tolerance of Measure:
Unless otherwise noted in drawing, tolerances are specifed with ±0.1 and
dimensions are specifed in mm.
