DRY PACKING

The reel is packed in an anti-humidity bag to protect

the

devices

from

absorbing

moisture

during

transportation and storage.

FINAL PACKING

The sealed reel is packed into a cardboard box. A

secondary cardboard box is used for shipping

purposes.

RECOMMENDED METHOD OF STORAGE

Dry box storage is recommended as soon as the

aluminum bag has been opened to prevent moisture

absorption.

The

following

conditions

should

be

observed, if dry boxes are not available:

• Storage temperature 10 °C to 30 °C

• Storage humidity

≤ 60 % RH max.

After more than 72 h under these conditions moisture

content will be too high for reflow soldering.

In case of moisture absorption, the devices will recover

to the former condition by drying under the following

condition:

192 h at 40 °C + 5 °C/- 0 °C and < 5 % RH

(dry air/nitrogen) or

96 h at 60 °C + 5 °C and < 5 % RH for all device

containers or

24 h at 100 °C + 5 °C not suitable for reel or tubes.

An EIA JEDEC standard JESD22-A112 level 4 label is

included on all aluminum dry bags.

Example of JESD22-A112 level 4 label

ESD PRECAUTION

Proper storage and handling procedures should be

followed to prevent ESD damage to the devices

especially when they are removed from the antistatic

shielding bag. Electro-static sensitive devices warning

labels are on the packaging.

CAUTION

This bag contains

MOISTURE-SENSITIVE DEVICES

1. Shelf life in sealed bag: 12 months at < 40 °C and < 90 % relative

humidity (RH)

2. After this bag is opened, devices that will be subjected to soldering

reflow or equivalent processing (peak package body temp. 260 °C)

must be

2a. Mounted within 72 hours at factory condition of < 30 °C/60 % RH or

2b. Stored at < 5 % RH

3. Devices require baking befor mounting if:

Humidity Indicator Card is > 10 % when read at 23 °C ± 5 °C or

2a. or 2b. are not met.

4. If baking is required, devices may be baked for:

192 hours at 40 °C + 5 °C/- 0 °C and < 5 % RH (dry air/nitrogen) or

96 hours at 60 °C ± 5 °C and < 5 % RH for all device containers or

24 hours at 125 °C ± 5 °C not suitable for reels or tubes
