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 672 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 2a label is

included on all dry bags.

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. Electrostatic

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 infrared reflow,

vapor-phase reflow, or equivalent processing (peak package body temp.

260°C) must be:

a)

Mounted within 672 hours at factory condition of < 30°C/60%RH or

b)

3. Devices require baking before mounting if:

a)

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

b)

2a or 2b is 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±5oCand <5%RH

For all device containers

or

24 hours at 100±5°C

Not suitable for reels or tubes
