Packaging
7.1. Storage
BC95 module is stored in a vacuum-sealed bag. The storage restrictions are shown as below.
1. Shelf life in the vacuum-sealed bag: 12 months at <40ºC /90%RH.
2. After the vacuum-sealed bag is opened, devices that will be subjected to reflow soldering or other
high temperature processes must be:
Mounted within 168 hours at the factory environment of ≤30ºC /60% RH.
Stored at <10% RH.
3. Devices require baking before mounting, if any circumstance below occurs:
When the ambient temperature is 23ºC ±5 ºC and the humidity indication card shows the humidity
is >10% before opening the vacuum-sealed bag.
Device mounting cannot be finished within 168 hours at factory conditions of ≤30ºC /60%
4. If baking is required, devices may be baked for 48 hours at 125ºC ±5 ºC .
As the plastic package cannot be subjected to high temperature, it should be removed from devices
before high temperature (125ºC ) baking. If shorter baking time is desired, please refer to the
IPC/JEDECJ-STD-033 for baking procedure.
