3.2 Shipment, Storage and Handling
3.2.1 Handling
u-blox
5
modules
are
designed
and
packaged
to
be
processed
in
an
automatic
assembly
line,
and
are
shipped
in
Tape-and-Reel.
These components contain highly sensitive electronic circuitry. Handling the NEO-5 modules
without proper ESD protection may destroy or damage them permanently.
According to JEDEC ISP, NEO-5 modules are moisture sensitive devices. Appropriate handling
instructions and precautions are summarized in
Sections 3.2.2
Read them carefully to
prevent permanent damages due to moisture intake.
3.2.2 Shipment
The
NEO-5
modules
are
delivered
on
Tape-and-Reels
in
a
hermetically
sealed
package
("dry
bag")
to
prevent
moisture
intake
and
protect
against
electrostatic
discharge.
For
protection
from
physical
damage,
the
reels
are
individually
packed
in
cartons.
The
dry
bag
provides
a
JEDEC
compliant
MSD
label
(Moisture
Sensitive
Devices)
describing
the
handling
requirements
to
prevent
humidity
intake.
