Smart Module Series Storage, Manufacturing and Packaging 8.1. Storage Conditions The module is provided with vacuum-sealed packaging. MSL of the module is rated as 3. The storage requirements are shown below. Recommended Storage Condition: the temperature should be 23 ± 5 ° C and the relative humidity should be 35–60 %.
Smart Module Series NOTE To avoid blistering, layer separation and other soldering issues, extended exposure of the module to the air is forbidden. Take out the module from the package and put it on high-temperature-resistant fixtures before baking. If shorter baking time is desired, see IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033 for the baking procedure. Pay attention to ESD protection, such as wearing anti-static gloves, when touching the modules.
