Moisture Sensitivity, Reflow Soldering and Washing Information

IXYS has characterized the moisture reflow sensitivity of the SolarMD using IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020. Moisture uptake from

atmospheric humidity occurs by diffusion. During the soldering process to the electrode, the combination of moisture uptake and high

temperature soldering may lead to moisture induced delamination and cracking of the component. To prevent this, this component

must be handled with the standard soldering process and conditions in accordance with IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020 per the

labeled moisture sensitivity level (MSL), level 1. SLMD481H12 is encapsulated by the lamination with EVA and polymer film and thus

excessively high temperatures soldering reflow is prohibited. IXYS does not recommend the use of chlorinated solvents for washing.

Surface Protection Film

Please be advised that SLMD module is normally covered with protection film by factory to prevent it from scratch or dirt during the

transportation, Therefore it is highly recommended to remove the protection film at the end of your work. Especially when SLMD

should go through the high temperature process or environment, the film should be removed in advance. If protection film is not

wanted, please consult the factory.
