STORAGE 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 Moisture Barrier Bags should be stored under the following conditions:

Temperature Range

< 40

°C

Relative Humidity

< 90%

Total Time

No longer than 12 months from the date code on the aluminized envelope if

unopened.

Rebaking of the reel will be required if the devices have been stored unopened for more than 12 months and

the Humidity Indicator Card shows the parts to be out of the allowable moisture region.

Opened reels should be used within 168 hours if exposed to the following conditions:

Temperature Range

< 30

°C

Relative Humidity

< 60%

If rebaking is required, it should be done at 50

°C for 12 hours.

The FN package has been assigned a moisture sensitivity level of MSL 3.
