5.5. Moisture Sensitivity Level
Frey M1 comprises components that are susceptible to damage induced by absorbed
moisture.
5.6. Durability and Mechanical Handling
5.6.1. Storage Life
Frey M1 modules must be stored in sealed, moisture barrier anti-static bags. The shelf
life in a sealed moisture bag is an estimated 12 months. However, such a life span
requires a non-condensing atmospheric environment, ambient temperatures below 40°C
and a relative humidity below 90%
5.6.2. Processing Life
Frey M1 must be soldered to an application within 72 hours after opening the moisture
barrier bag (MBB) it was stored in.
The manufacturing site processing the modules should have ambient temperatures
below 30°C and a relative humidity below 60%.
5.6.3. Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) may lead to irreversible damage for the module. It
is therefore advisable to develop measures and methods to counter ESD and to
use these to control the electrostatic environment at manufacturing sites.
