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 humidity indicator
card (HIC) indicates that baking is not required, then
it is safe to reow 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 unnished reel
– For any unused LEDs, they need to be stored in
sealed MBB with desiccant or desiccator at <5%RH.
D. Control of assembly 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
oor life of 672 hours.
E. Baking is required if
– HIC “10%” indicator is not blue and “5%” indicator is
pink.
– The LEDs are exposed to condition of >30°C / 60%
RH at any time.
– The LED oor life exceeded 672hrs.
