Moisture Sensitivity
This product is qualied as Moisture Sensitive Level 2a
per Jedec J-STD-020. Precautions when handling this
moisture sensitive product is important to ensure the reli-
ability of the product. Do refer to Avago Application Note
AN5305 Handling of Moisture Sensitive Surface Mount
Devices for details.
A. Storage before use
x Unopen moisture barrier bag (MBB) can be stored at
<40°C/90%RH for 12 months. If the actual shelf life has
exceeded 12 months and the HIC indicates that baking
is not required, then it is safe to reow the LEDs per the
original MSL rating.
x It is not recommended to open the MBB prior to
assembly (e.g. for IQC).
B. Control after opening the MBB
x The humidity indicator card (HIC) shall be read
immediately upon opening of MBB.
x The LEDs must be kept at <30°C / 60%RH at all time
and all high temperature related process including
soldering, curing or rework need to be completed
within 672 hours.
C. Control for unnished reel
x For any unuse LEDs, they need to be stored in sealed
MBB with desiccant or desiccator at <5%RH.
D. Control of assembled boards
x If the PCB soldered with the LEDs is to be subjected
to other high temperature processes, the PCB need to
be stored in sealed MBB with desiccant or desiccator
at <5%RH to ensure no LEDs have exceeded their oor
life of 672 hours
E. Baking is required if:
x The HIC indicator is not GREEN at 10% and is AZURE at
5%
x The LEDs are exposed to condition of >30°C / 60% RH
at any time.
x The Led oor life exceeded 672hrs.
Recommended baking condition: 60±5ºC for 20hrs
