star for Osram Oslon SSL

[RustyShackleford1]

Looking for star MCPCB board for Osram Oslon SSL emitters, specifically:

... for one emitter, 16mm diameter or so. Best I cal tell, Noctigon and Sinkpad don't have them, unless one of the ones they supply for Cree XP series would work.

The emitter is 0.5mm smaller on each side than an XP-G. The footprint is the same though - 2 electrical pads on each side and 1 thermal pad in the middle. If you have solder paste, you can apply a very light coating to the 3 pads on the star and as long as you position the emitter dead-center it will reflow. The solder has a tendency to pull the emitter off-center but you can nudge it with some tweezers to float it back.

I'd say out of 15 SSL's reflowed on XP-G boards, 12 have worked. The key seemed to be a very light layer of solder.
