Thermal/Mechanical Specifications and Design Guidelines

 includes a list of the specifications for device storage in terms of maximum 

and minimum temperatures and relative humidity. 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 

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

3.

T

ABSOLUTE STORAGE 

applies to the 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, 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 life in applicable Intel box and bags.

T

ABSOLUTE STORAGE

The non-operating device storage 

temperature. Damage (latent or otherwise) 

may occur when subjected to for any length of 

time.

-55 °C

125 °C

T

SUSTAINED STORAGE

The ambient storage temperature limit (in 

shipping media) for a sustained period of time.

-5 °C

40 °C

RH

SUSTAINED STORAGE

The maximum device storage relative humidity 

for a sustained period of time.

60% @ 24 °C

TIME

SUSTAINED STORAGE

A prolonged or extended period of time; 

typically associated with customer shelf life.
