Recommended Pick & Place Tools (Nozzles) for LEDs
of OSRAM Opto Semiconductors
Application Note
In order to achieve the functionality of SMT
mounting machines in production regarding
equipment performance and accuracy with
concomitant flexibility the use of device
adapted pick & place tools (nozzles) is
essential. A zero defect and in particular with
LEDs a damage-free processing can only be
reached and guaranteed by the use of an
appropriate, individual nozzle.
Therefore OSRAM Opto Semiconductors
selected suitable nozzle for its specific LED
product groups in co-operation with
SIEMENS and verified their applicability with
automated assembly test runs on SIPLACE
pick and place machines.
A catalogue with a linkage of the tools to the
associated LED product family is listed on
the following sides.
Beside the SIPLACE number for the
reference nozzle, the general design of the

tools is represented. Beyond that numbers
for possible alternatives are also indicated.
More detailed information on the recom-
mended nozzles, like technical drawings,
material, etc. can be found in the product
catalogue on the homepage of SIPLACE
(www.siplace.com).
General it must be additionally ensured
for the processing of LEDs that the
process parameters are conformed to the
package characteristics during assembly.
If other nozzle or designs than the
recommendations are used, it must be
strictly observed, that especially the critical
and optical relevant area (area over die/s and
wire bond/s) is not loaded.
If further information needed or support
regarding the processing of LEDs please
contact OSRAM Opto Semiconductors.
