Manufacturing Information
Moisture Sensitivity
All plastic encapsulated semiconductor packages are susceptible to moisture ingression. IXYS Integrated
Circuits classifies 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) classification 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.

Soldering Profile
Provided in the table below is the IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 Classification Temperature (TC) and the maximum
dwell time the body temperature of these surface mount devices may be (TC - 5)°C or greater. The Classification
Temperature sets the Maximum Body Temperature allowed for these devices during reflow soldering processes.

Board Wash
IXYS Integrated Circuits recommends the use of no-clean flux formulations. Board washing to reduce or remove flux
residue following the solder reflow process is acceptable provided proper precautions are taken to prevent damage
to the device. These precautions include but are not limited to: using a low pressure wash and providing a follow
up bake cycle sufficient to remove any moisture trapped within the device due to the washing process. Due to the
variability of the wash parameters used to clean the board, determination of the bake temperature and duration
necessary to remove the moisture trapped within the package is the responsibility of the user (assembler). Cleaning
or drying methods that employ ultrasonic energy may damage the device and should not be used. Additionally, the
device must not be exposed to halide flux or solvents.
