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
. 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 ELS31-VA/ELS51-VA modules from moisture exposure. It should
not be opened until the devices are ready to be soldered onto the application.
