MANUFACTURING INFORMATION

Moisture Sensitivity

Optical characteristics of the device can be adversely affected during the soldering process by the release and

vaporization of moisture that has been previously absorbed into the package. To ensure the package contains

the smallest amount of absorbed moisture possible, each device is dry-baked prior to being packed for shipping.

Devices are packed in a sealed aluminized envelope called a moisture barrier bag with silica gel to protect them

from ambient moisture during shipping, handling, and storage before use.

The FN package has been assigned a moisture sensitivity level of MSL 3 and the devices should be stored under

the following conditions:

Temperature Range

5

°C to 50°C

Relative Humidity

60% maximum

Total Time

12 months from the date code on the aluminized envelope — if unopened

Opened Time

168 hours or fewer

Rebaking will be required if the devices have been stored unopened for more than 12 months or if the aluminized

envelope has been open for more than 168 hours. If rebaking is required, it should be done at 50

°C for 12 hours.
