Datasheet 

Environmental storage condition limits define the temperature and relative humidity 
limits to which the device is exposed to while being stored. The specified storage 
conditions are for component level prior to board attach (see following notes on post 
board attach limits).

 specifies absolute maximum and minimum storage temperature limits which 

represent the maximum or minimum device condition beyond which damage, latent or 
otherwise, may occur. The table also specifies sustained storage temperature, relative 
humidity, and time-duration limits. At conditions outside sustained limits, but within 
absolute maximum and minimum ratings, quality and reliability may be affected. These 
conditions should not be exceeded in storage or transportation. 

1.

Refers to a component device that is not assembled in a board or socket that is not to be electrically 

connected to a voltage reference or I/O signals. 

2.

Specified temperatures are based on data collected. Exceptions for surface mount reflow are specified in by 

applicable JEDEC standard and MAS document. Non-adherence may affect processor reliability. 

3.

T

ABSOLUTE STORAGE

 applies to unassembled component only and does not apply to the shipping media, 

moisture barrier bags, or desiccant. 

4.

Intel branded board products are certified to meet the following temperature and humidity limits that are 

given as an example only (Non-Operating Temperature limit: -40° C to 70° C and Humidity: 50% to 90% 

non-condensing with a maximum wet bulb of 28° C) Post board attach storage temperature limits are not 

specified for non-Intel branded boards.

5.

The JEDEC, J-JSTD-020 moisture level rating and associated handling practices apply to all moisture 

sensitive devices removed from the moisture barrier bag.

6.

Nominal temperature and humidity conditions and durations are given and tested within the constraints 

imposed by T

SUSTAINED

 and customer shelf live in appl9icable Intel box and bags.
