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 baked prior to being

dry packed for shipping.

Devices are dry 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.

This package has been assigned a moisture sensitivity level of

MSL3 and the devices should be stored under the following

conditions.

• Temperature Range: 5°C to 50°C

• Relative Humidity: 60% maximum

• Total Time: 12 months from the date code on the

aluminized envelope – if opened

• Open Time: 168 hours or less

Re-baking will be required if the devices have been stored

unopened for more than 12 months or the aluminized envelop

has been open for more than 168hrs. If re-baking is required,

it should be done at 50°C for 12 hours.
