Moisture Sensitivity
This product is qualified as Moisture Sensitive Level 3 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 im-
mediately 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 168 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 th
e LEDs is to be
subjected to other high temperature processes,
the PCB need to be stored in sealed MBB with
desiccant or desic
cator at <5%RH to ensure no
LEDs have exceeded their floor life of 168 hours.
E. Baking is required if:
• “10%” is Not Green and “5%” HIC indicator turns
Azure.
• The LEDs are exposed to condition of >30°C / 60%
RH at any time.
• The LEDs floor life exceeded 168 hours.
Recommended baking condition: 60±5°C for 20 hours.
