TSL1401CL − 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 CL package has been assigned a moisture sensitivity level
of MSL 5a and the devices should be stored under the following
conditions:
• Temperature Range: 5°C to 50°C
• Relative Humidity: 60% maximum
• Total Time: 6 months from the date code on the
aluminized envelope - if unopened
• Opened Time: 24 hours or fewer
Rebaking will be required if the devices have been stored
unopened for more than 6 months or if the aluminized envelope
has been open for more than 24 hours. If rebaking is required,
it should be done at 60°C for 24 hours.
