Yes. Storing our power amplifiers needs to be done with special care, as they use resin boards. Please follow the storage method of MSL-3.
Before opening the aluminum laminate pack, please store it at ambient temperature from 5 to 40 degrees C and humidity of 80% or less.
After opening it, please store it at ambient temperature from 5 to 25 degrees C and humidity of 40 to 60 %.
In addition, please mount it in seven days after opening it.
If the above storage conditions cannot be met, please put it through the baking process (125 degree C, 16 hours or more) before mounting it on the board.
