IPC 9503
Moisture Sensitivity Classification for Non-IC Components
standard by Association Connecting Electronics Industries, 04/01/1999
Full Description
The purpose of this standard is to identify the moisture sensitivity classification level of passive surface mount devices and through-hole components, subjected to reflow soldering, so that they can be properly packaged, stored, and handled to avoid subsequent thermal/mechanical damage during the assembly solder reflow attachment and/or repair operation. This standard may be used to determine what classification level should be used for initial reliability qualification.
