soft material, please do not press on the silicone or poke
a sharp object onto the silicone. These might damage
the product and cause premature failure. During as-
sembly or handling, the unit should be held on the body
only. Please refer to Avago Application Note AN5288 for
detail information.
Moisture Sensitivity
This product is qualified as Moisture Sensitive Level 2a
for InGaN devices and MSL 4 for AlInGaP devices per
Jedec J-STD-020. Precautions when handling this mois-
ture sensitive product is important to ensure the reliabil-
ity of the product. Do refer to Avago Application Note
AN5305 Handling of Moisture Sensitive Surface Mount
Devices for details.
A. Storage before use
• Unopen 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 not recommended to open the MBB 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 time
and all high temperature related process including
soldering, curing or rework need to be completed
within 672 hours for MSL 2a and 72 hours for MSL
4.
C. Control for unfinished reel
• For any unused LEDs, they need to be stored
in sealed MBB with desiccant or desiccator at
<5%RH.
D. Control of assembly 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 no LEDs have
exceeded their floor life of 672 hours for MSL 2a
and 72 hours for MSL 4.
E. Baking is required if
• HIC “10%” indicator is not blue and “5%” indicator
is pink. - The LEDs are exposed to condition of
>30°C/60% RH at any time.
• The LEDs floor life exceeded 672 hours for MSL 2a
and 72 hours for MSL 4.
Recommended baking condition: 60±5ºC for 20hrs.
