Storage and Handling

Ceramic chip capacitors should be stored in normal working environments. While the chips themselves are quite robust in other

environments, solderability will be degraded by exposure to high temperatures, high humidity, corrosive atmospheres, and long term

storage. In addition, packaging materials will be degraded by high temperature– reels may soften or warp and tape peel force may

increase. KEMET recommends that maximum storage temperature not exceed 40ºC and maximum storage humidity not exceed 70%

relative humidity. Temperature fluctuations should be minimized to avoid condensation on the parts and atmospheres should be free of

chlorine and sulfur bearing compounds. For optimized solderability chip stock should be used promptly, preferably within 1.5 years of

receipt.
