Dry Packing

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

the devices from absorbing moisture during transpor-

tation and storage.

Final Packing

The sealed reel is packed into a cardboard box. A

secondary cardboard box is used for shipping pur-

poses.

Recommended Method of Storage

Dry box storage is recommended as soon as the alu-

minium 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 1 year under these conditions mois-

ture 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 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 100 °C +5 °C not suitable for reel

or tubes.

An EIA JEDEC Standard JESD22-A112 Level 2 label

is included on all dry bags.

ESD Precaution

Proper storage and handling procedures should be

followed to prevent ESD damage to the devices espe-

cially when they are removed from the Antistatic

Shielding Bag. Electro-Static Sensitive Devices warn-

ing labels are on the packaging.
