handling, reels are packed in a cardboard box.

STMicroelectronics thus recommends the following shipping and storage conditions:

●

relative humidity between 15% and 70%

●

temperature range from -55 °C to +150 °C

Components in a non opened sealed bag can be stored 6 months after shipment.

Components in tape and reel must be protected from exposure to direct sunlight.

Moisture sensitivity level (MSL as per JEDEC J-STD-020C) is not applicable to Flip-Chip

devices since there is no plastic encapsulation and so no risk of moisture absorption and

related possible package cracks.
