Packaging, Handling and Storage, RoHS

8.1 Packaging

Modules are shipped in cut tape, with ESD-safe packaging, or in reels.

For package quantity, see section 9, Ordering Information.

Reels are shipped inside a moisture resistant sealed bag. The shelf life of the sealed reel is 12 months at 40°C and <90%

Relative Humidity (RH). Please refer to the bag seal date and the following section for handling & storage.

Ensure that all modules are managed in accordance with Moisture Sensitive Level 3 (MSL3) per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-20.

AMWx36 modules should be hand-soldered ONLY. If reflow is required, AMWx36 modules must be baked first

according to Joint Industry Standard J-STD-033C.

8.2 Handling & Storage

CAUTION

MSL3 Sensitive Device!

The AMWx36 module is a moisture sensitive device rated at Moisture Sensitive Level 3 (MSL3) per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-

20.

After opening the moisture sealed storage bag, modules that will be subjected to reflow solder or other high

temperature processes must be:

1. mounted to a circuit board within 168 hours at factory conditions (≤30°C and <60% RH)

OR

2. continuously stored per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033

Modules that have been exposed to moisture and environmental conditions exceeding packaging and storage

conditions MUST be baked before mounting according to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033.

Failure to meet packaging and storage conditions will result in irreparable damage to modules during solder reflow.

8.3 RoHS Directive

The AMWx36 module is produced according to the RoHS (Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in

electrical and electronic equipment) directive and complies with the directive.
