7.3.2.1 Moisture Barrier Bag

The tape reels are stored inside an MBB (=moisture barrier bag), together with a humidity indi-
cator card and desiccant pouches - see Figure 44. The bag is ESD protected and delimits mois-
ture transmission. It is vacuum-sealed and should be handled carefully to avoid puncturing or
tearing. The bag protects the PCS3 modules from moisture exposure. It should not be opened
until the devices are ready to be soldered onto the application.
