Thermal Design Considerations for the Nichia NCSxE17A Discrete Color LEDs

Thermal design is very important for LEDs since it determines the optical and electrical characteristics (e.g. luminous flux, forward voltage, etc.) of the LEDs and it even largely affects the reliability (lifetime) of the LEDs. When performing a thermal evaluation, customers must check how high the junction temperature of the LED will be when the LED is operated in the conditions/environments in which the LED will actually be used. This application note provides cautions/suggestions for the thermal design of the chosen application using the Nichia NCSxE17A discrete color and white LEDs to ensure that the luminous flux required for the chosen application is obtained.
