LED packages of 2 to 7 mm2 are continuously molded using a proprietary reel-toreel technology that overmolds open cavities onto strips of lead frames in a multistation line using multicavity tools. Customers fill the cavities with dies that serve as the light source, wire bond the units, add a lens, and stamp the completed package out of the strip. The LCPs also withstand temperatures well above 300°C, undergo minimal dimensional change in molding and end use, and have negligible out gassing, so their volatiles don’t fog lenses or degrade contacts.
