2. Storage

1) Avoid storage locations where devices may be exposed to moisture or direct sunlight.

2) Follow the precautions printed on the packing label of the device for transportation and storage.

3) Keep the storage location temperature and humidity within a range of 5°C to 35°C and 45% to 75%,

respectively.

4) Do not store the products in locations with poisonous gases (especially corrosive gases) or in dusty

conditions.

5) Store the products in locations with minimal temperature fluctuations. Rapid temperature changes during

storage can cause condensation, resulting in lead oxidation or corrosion, which will deteriorate the

solderability of the leads.

6) When restoring devices after removal from their packing, use anti-static containers.

7) Do not allow loads to be applied directly to devices while they are in storage.

8) If devices have been stored for more than two years under normal storage conditions, it is recommended

that you check the leads for ease of soldering prior to use.
