Scope
The purpose of this standard is to identify the moisture
sensitivity classification level of passive surface mount
devices and through-hole components, subjected to reflow
soldering, so that they can be properly packaged, stored,
and handled to avoid subsequent thermal/mechanical damage
during the assembly solder reflow attachment and/or
repair operation.
