STORAGE AND HANDLING CONDITIONS
(1) Store the components at 5 °C to +40 °C ambient temperature and ≤ 70 % relative humidity conditions.
(2) The product is recommended to be used within a time-frame of 2 years after shipment.
Check solderability in case extended shelf life beyond the expiry date is needed.
Precautions:
a. Do not store products in an environment containing corrosive elements, especially where chloride gas, sulfide gas, acid, alkali, salt or
the like are present. This may cause corrosion or oxidization of the terminations, which can easily lead to poor soldering.
b. Store products on the shelf and avoid exposure to moisture or dust.
c. Do not expose products to excessive shock, vibration, direct sunlight and so on.
