Data Sheet and User Manual
Shipping, Handling and Storage
Shipping
Bulk orders of Avnet AES-MS-MT3620 Azure Sphere Modules are delivered in reels of 600.
(See detail under the section on Tape & Reel Packaging)
Handling
AES-MS-MT3620 Azure Sphere Modules contain sensitive electronic circuitry that require proper ESD
protection when handling. Failure to follow these ESD procedures may result in permanent damage to the
module.
The module should not be subjected to excessive mechanical shock.
Moisture Sensitivity (MSL)
Modules that have been exposed to moisture and environmental conditions exceeding the prescribed
packaging and storage conditions detailed in J-STD-020 (eg. not continuously in a sealed bag with a
desiccant pack) MUST be baked before mounting! (Failure to meet the packaging and storage conditions
described, will result in irreparable damage to modules during solder reflow soldering).
For devices that are packaged in a Moisture Barrier Bag with a desiccant pack and HIC (Humidity Indicator
Card), the HIC card should be referenced and J-STD-033 consulted to determine if baking is required prior
to reflow soldering.
In cases where baking is required, refer to J-STD-033 for details of the bake procedure.
“Broken reel” module quantities (under 600 units) typically require baking before reflow soldering
Storage
Per J-STD-033, the shelf life of devices in a Moisture Barrier Bag is 12 months at <40ºC and <90% room
humidity (RH).
Do not store in salty air or an environment where there is a high concentration of corrosive gas, such as Cl2,
H2S, NH3, SO2, or NOX.
Do not store in direct sunlight.
