Manufacturing Information

3.1 Moisture Sensitivity

All plastic encapsulated semiconductor packages are susceptible to moisture ingression. IXYS Integrated

Circuits Division classified all of its plastic encapsulated devices for moisture sensitivity according to the

latest version of the joint industry standard, IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020, in force at the time of product

evaluation. We test all of our products to the maximum conditions set forth in the standard, and guarantee

proper operation of our devices when handled according to the limitations and information in that standard as well as

to any limitations set forth in the information or standards referenced below.

Failure to adhere to the warnings or limitations as established by the listed specifications could result in reduced

product performance, reduction of operable life, and/or reduction of overall reliability.

This product carries a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating as shown below, and should be handled according to

the requirements of the latest version of the joint industry standard IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033.

3.2 ESD Sensitivity

This product is ESD Sensitive, and should be handled according to the industry standard

JESD-625.

3.3 Reflow Profile

This product has a maximum body temperature and time rating as shown below. All other guidelines of

J-STD-020 must be observed.

3.4 Board Wash

IXYS Integrated Circuits Division recommends the use of no-clean flux formulations. However, board washing to

remove flux residue is acceptable, and the use of a short drying bake may be necessary. Chlorine-based or

Fluorine-based solvents or fluxes should not be used. Cleaning methods that employ ultrasonic energy should not be

used.
