LED Star Board Holder Kit 2008675-1
3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. Material
The contact carrier assembly and locking ring are made of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). The contacts are
made of copper alloy plated with tin. The heat sink is made of cast aluminum. The available lens is made of
polycarbonate.
3.2. Safety
Do not stack product shipping containers so high that the containers buckle or deform.
3.3. Limitations
The star board holder is designed to operate in a temperature range of -40° to 85°C [-40° to 185°F].
3.4. Storage
A. Shelf Life
The star board holder should remain in the shipping containers until ready for use to prevent deformation to
the contacts. The assemblies should be used on a first in, first out basis to avoid storage contamination that
could adversely affect performance.
B. Chemical Exposure
Do not store the star board holder near any chemical listed below as they may cause stress corrosion
cracking in the contacts.
Alkalies
Amines
Ammonia
Carbonates
Citrates
Nitrites
Phosphates Citrates
Sulfur Nitrites
Sulfur Compounds
Tartrates
3.5. Thermal Performance
The thermal performance of the overall system is paramount to the life of the LED. The star board holder
supports 1 to 4 watts of input to the LED without using forced air cooling or additional heat sink. IT IS
IMPORTANT that the thermal management is adequate for the specific LED and lighting fixture used. LEDs with
higher wattage rating can be used if forced air cooling or additional heat sink is employed.
3.6. Customer Supplied Components
A. LED
The star board holder is compatible with hexagonal “star board” high-power LEDs measuring 19.9 mm
[.783 in.] across the hexagonal flats and having a thickness of 1 to 2.5 mm [.040 to .01 in.]. A sample
reference star board pattern is given in Figure 2.
