Handling and Storage Recommendations
Storage:
- Store in original packaging between -25C to +45C with relative humidity <75% (average) and max 95%. Avoid dew precipitation.
- Do not expose to heat or direct sunlight during storage.
- Avoid storing in environments with corrosive gases (SOx, Cl, etc.).
- Use thermistors as soon as possible after opening factory seals.
- Recommended soldering within 12 months (SMDs) / 24 months (leaded) after shipment.
- Prevent components from being dropped.
- Use gloves; do not touch with bare hands.
- Prevent contamination of the thermistor surface.
- Use resin-type or non-activated flux.
- Ensure proper preheating to avoid ceramic cracks.
- Rapid cooling by dipping in solvent is not recommended.
- Completely remove flux residue after soldering.
