, Handling of Moisture Sensitive Surface Mount Devices, for
additional details and a review of proper
handling procedures.
(a) Before use
- An unopened 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 humidity Indicator Card (HIC) indicates that baking is not required,
then it is safe to reflow the LEDs per the original MSL rating.
- It is recommended that the MBB not be opened prior to assembly (e.g. for IQC).
(b) Control after opening the MBB
- The humidity indicator card (HIC) shall be read immediately upon opening of MBB.
- The LEDs must be kept at <30°C / 60%RH at all times and all high temperature related processes including
soldering, curing or rework need to be completed within 672 hours.
(c) Control for unfinished reel
- Unused LEDs must be stored in a sealed MBB with desiccant or desiccator at <5%RH.
(d) Control of assembled boards
- 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 that all LEDs have not exceeded
their floor life of 672 hours.
(e) Baking is required if:
- The HIC indicator is not blue at 10% and is pink at 5%.
- The LEDs are exposed to condition of >30°C / 60% RH at any time.
- The LED floor life exceeded 672hrs.
The recommended baking condition is: 60±5ºC for 20hrs
Baking should only be done once.
