This application note provides an overview of the performance of the DRAGON product family (in this case, LEDs without plastic lenses) as well as a summary of the most important customer-relevant LED data with respect to its effect on LED lifetime.

Die Applikationsschrift gibt einen Überblick über die Performance der DRAGON Produktfamilie (hier speziell LEDs ohne Kunststofflinse), sowie eine Zusammenfassung der wichtigsten applikationsrelevanten LED-Daten mit Hinblick auf ihre Auswirkungen auf die Lebensdauer.

This application note gives general informa￯﾿ﾽtion on the assembly and design of the solder pad of the DRAGON product family. Suitable PCB materials will also be described.

This application note provides an insight into the Golden DRAGON Plus, a high power LED from the DRAGON product family of OSRAM Opto Semiconductors.

A fundamental overview of the construction, handling and processing of the new Golden DRAGON Plus is presented. In addition, general information concerning thermal characteristics, influence of junction temperature, reliability and lifetime is provided.

The Golden DRAGON LED is OSRAM Opto Semiconductors’ high performance LED requiring special considerations in thermal management and electrical implementation.

This application note is intended to help the design engineer with the special electrical considerations of the Golden DRAGON LED. With a higher current there is higher power, and therefore more heat to dissipate. The Golden DRAGON LED package is optimized for removing this heat efficiently. With an integrated heat slug (also known as a heat spreader) the thermal performance is far superior to standard LEDs.
