PRECAUTIONARY NOTES

1.

Handling of moisture sensitive device

This product has a Moisture Sensitive Level 2a rating per JEDEC J-STD-020. Refer to Avago Application Note

AN5305

, Handling of Moisture Sensitive Surface Mount Devices, for additional details and a review of proper

handling procedures.

(a) Before use

- An unopened 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 reflow the LEDs per the original MSL rating.

- It is recommended that the MBB not be opened 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 times and all high temperature related processes including

soldering, curing or rework need to be completed within 672 hours.

(c)

Control for unfinished reel

- Unused LEDs must be stored in a 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 that all LEDs have not exceeded

their floor life of 672 hours.

(e)

Baking is required if:

- The HIC indicator is not blue at 10% and is pink at 5%.

- The LEDs are exposed to condition of >30°C / 60% RH at any time.

- The LED floor life exceeded 672hrs.

The recommended baking condition is: 60±5ºC for 20hrs

Baking should only be done once.
