Moisture Sensitivity
This product is qualified as Moisture Sensitive Level 2a per
Jedec J-STD-020. Precautions when handling this moisture
sensitive product is important to ensure the reliability of
the product. Do refer to Avago Application Note AN5305
Handling of Moisture Sensitive Surface Mount Devices for
details.
A. Storage before use
• 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 reflow the LEDs per the
original MSL rating.
• It is not recommended to open the MBB 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 time
and all high temperature related process including
soldering, curing or rework need to be completed
within 672 hours.
C. Control for unfinished reel
• For any unuse LEDs, they need to be stored in 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 no LEDs have exceeded their floor
life of 672 hours
E. Baking is required if:
• “10%” or “15%” HIC indicator turns pink
• The LEDs are exposed to condition of >30°C / 60% RH
at any time.
• The Led floor life exceeded 672hrs.
Recommended baking condition: 60±5°C for 20hrs.
