MSL rating is not tied to a specific package type/size. I have seen 2 components (ICs) have the same physical package but one was MSL-3 while the other was MSL-5. From my experience, while component manufacturers are not consistent as to where they

Depends on the MSL(Moisture sensitivity level) and how far you will use them in production. Here you should be able to get all the answers: http://www.jedec.org/sites/default/files/docs/jstd033b01.pdf

As we here are realizing that the list of MSL-3 and higher is much longer than we thought: 1)Component Datasheets do not necessarily state MSL rating. 2)Component manufacturers seem to make it difficult for its users (the folks who buy their produc

| Hi All, | | I'm recently receiving an IC in package for Ic's sensitive to moisture and not in another times, Somebody know how can I know if this Is moisture sensitive or not(which is the rule ?)?. the Ic is a soic14. | | | thanks | | I appreci

Al, There are no 'rules of thumb' that you can utilize for plastic devices. I have seen various Moisture Sensitivity Levels, (MSLs), for the same package type, i.e. PLCC28s as levels 1, 2,3,4,5, even 6 in some cases. Your best bet is to call

Having implemented the process of handling moisture sensitive devices our logistics department tries to classify all parts according to their moisture level. Going through datasheets wasn�t that helpfull, so does anyone know of a source for that spe

Rich: Now that�s a great question!!! You�re corrrect. Primary-side temperature is the driver of the differences in the sensitivity to moisture between SMT and PTH devices that you�re finding. * Primary-side temperature for SMT ~= Secondary-side te

Is there any connection with mositure sensitive components and thru-hole devices? All of my research material directs me toward Surface Mount devices.

Wolfgang, We also tried to find generic 'guidelines' for Moisture Sensitivity levels. It would be a perfect world, if you could say that all PLCC84's were level 4 devices. Unfortunately it is not that easy. Moisture sensitivity levels are
