STORAGE CONDITIONSTECHNICAL NOTES55www.SunLEDusa.comAdditional Notes 1. LED devices may contain Gallium Arsenide (GaAs). GaAs dust and fumes are toxic and harmful if ingested. Do not expose LEDs to chemical solvents and/or break open LED devices.2. The light output from UV, blue, and high-power LEDs may cause injury to the human eye when viewed directly.3. Semiconductor devices can fail or malfunction due to their sensitivity to electrical fluctuation and physical stress. In design development, please make certain that SunLED products are used within the specified operating conditions as indicated on our most current product datasheets. The user is responsible to observe and follow all safety measures to avoid situations where the failure or malfunction of a SunLED product could cause injury, property damage, or the loss of human life.4. Reference https://www.SunLEDusa.com/TechnicalNotes.asp for complete technical notes.Storage, MSL, and Humidity ConditionsSMD LEDs are considered moisture sensitive and storage/usage precautions must be taken to prevent damage to the internal materials. Excess moisture trapped within the component may cause internal vapor pressure during solder reflow leading to possible delamination of the die or wire bond.1. Do not store or expose LEDs in an environment where high levels of moisture or corrosive gases are present and keep away from rapid transitions in ambient temperature. Recommended storage conditions for each type of LED product as per beloProduct TypeTemperatureHumiditySMD LED< 40°C< 90%RHThrough-hole LED≤ 30°C< 60%RHLED Displays5°C to 30°C< 60%RHNote: Above conditions are based on products in original sealed packaging2. All SMD LEDs are packaged in moisture barrier bags (MBB) with a label indicating the moisture sensitivity level (MSL). a. Storage conditions for unopened MBB: Temperature < 40°C, Humidity < 90%RH with shelf life of 24 months.b. Floor life for opened MBB follows the corresponding MSL as per beloIPC/JEDEC J-STD-020MSLFloor LifeTimeConditions1Unlimited≤30°C / 85%RH21 Year≤30°C / 60%RH2a4 Weeks≤30°C / 60%RH3168 Hours≤30°C / 60%RH472 Hours≤30°C / 60%RH548 Hours≤30°C / 60%RH5a24 Hours≤30°C / 60%RH6Time indicated on label≤30°C / 60%RH3. All SMD LEDs are packaged with desiccants and a humidity indicator card (HIC). If the LEDs are not used within the specific floor life or if the HIC has indicated presence of moisture, the following baking procedure must be taken:ConditionTemperatureHumidityBake DurationLED inside carrier 60°C ± 3°C<5% RH100 hoursLED outside carrier tape110°C-10 hoursSTORAGE CONDITIONS*Not more than once
