Introduction to the LEDENGIN LZ4 RGBW Power Emitter


The LEDENGIN LZ4 RGBW Power emitter is a high-performance LED component with a range of impressive features. It is a surface mount ceramic RGBW LED with an integrated flat glass lens, offering the highest flux density in a small 7.0mm x 7.0mm emitter footprint.

Key features of the LZ4 RGBW Power emitter include a 40W power dissipation, a compact 2.15mm x 2.15mm Light Emitting Area, and a low profile package that maximizes coupling efficiency into secondary optics. It has a thermal resistance of 0.9°C/W and can handle up to 3.0A maximum drive current per die. The emitter has individually addressable Red, Green, Blue, and Daylight White die, and an electrically neutral thermal path. It is also Lead (Pb) free and RoHS compliant, with a JEDEC Level 1 for Moisture Sensitivity Level.

The LZ4 RGBW Power emitter is suitable for a variety of applications, including stage and studio lighting, effect lighting, accent lighting, display lighting, and architectural lighting. It comes in different part number options, such as the base part number LZ4-04MDPB-0000 for the LZ4 RGBW Power and LZ4-V4MDPB-0000 for the LZ4 RGBW Power on a Standard Star 4 channel MCPCB.

The daylight white chromaticity groups are plotted on the CIE 1931 (2°) x-y Chromaticity Diagram, with coordinates listed for different bin codes. Flux bins, dominant wavelength bins, and forward voltage bins are also specified, along with the absolute maximum ratings for various parameters such as DC forward current, peak pulsed forward current, reverse voltage, storage temperature, junction temperature, and soldering temperature.
The optical characteristics of the emitter at 25°C include luminous flux, radiant flux, dominant wavelength, correlated color temperature, color rendering index, viewing angle, and total included angle. The electrical characteristics at 25°C include forward voltage, temperature coefficient of forward voltage, and thermal resistance.

Based on long-term HTOL testing, the LZ4-04MDPB is projected to deliver 70% Lumen Maintenance at 20,000 hours of operation at specific forward currents for each color, with the junction temperature maintained at or below 125°C.

The mechanical dimensions of the emitter are provided, along with the recommended solder pad layout, solder mask layout, and 8 mil stencil apertures layout. The reflow soldering profile, typical radiation pattern, typical relative spectral power distribution, typical forward current characteristics, typical relative light output over current and temperature, and typical dominant wavelength/chromaticity coordinate shift over current and temperature are also illustrated.

In terms of packaging, the emitter tape and reel specifications are given, including the carrier tape and reel dimensions. The LZ4 MCPCB Family is also introduced, with details on the type of MCPCB, diameter, emitter + MCPCB thermal resistance, typical VF, and typical IF.

Application guidelines include recommendations for MCPCB assembly, such as using thermal interface materials, selecting appropriate torque for mounting screws, and following specific steps to avoid mechanical stress build-up. Wire soldering guidelines are also provided.

LED Engin, an OSRAM business based in California's Silicon Valley, develops and manufactures advanced LED emitters, optics, and light engines for various lighting applications. They are committed to providing products that conserve resources and reduce greenhouse emissions.

Overall, the LEDENGIN LZ4 RGBW Power emitter offers high performance and reliability, making it a suitable choice for a wide range of lighting applications.
