I have a baking Question!
·I do have a question about the Caution Sticker on the Anti-Static bag containing the FRAMs.
I have Attached Pictures.
The warning is about the method of soldering and the relative humidity (RH) when you open the seald Anti-static bag.
I·think it says that·you have to Bake the Chips before you solder them. Is this Right?
But, I am not going to use reflow, IR, or other high temp solder technique. just plan old Butane gas Iron or the ultra-fine·tip bat powered iron, or If I have to do to the scale of the ICs I might use a hot air pencil.
Do I still have to Bake the chips for 48hr @ 125'·+-5'C?
I don't know what to do. So, I have Not yet Opened the bag. Help!
Thanx,
IAI-Captain

After you open the bag and take out a few of the parts, fold over the top of the bag again and seal it with tape and clips, and put it inside another bag, like a freezer bag or an extra static shielding bag. You can add another pack of dessicant too, to feel good about it.

Thank you all for your knowledgeable assistance in this matter!
If the contents of the bag were less expensive or important to me, then I would not have had the reservations regarding the warning, but you know at a cost of almost $24.00ea x 4pc you don't just want to open up the bag and possibly destroy the chips and throw out the money spent on them.
All this support puts me at ease. I now feel that there will definitely be no danger to the integrity of the chips when I open the bag, and then solder them to the PCB.
Thanx to all that have and or will add there knowledge to this thread,
