Why not keep the original bag, with vendor info, date codes, etc.?  A little
care in opening and a heat sealer can go a long way.

Subject: [TN] Re-sealing Moisture Sensitive Components


I need some opinions on re-sealing moisture sensitive components.  Like many
places, we have a procedure covering the handling of moisture sensitive
devices.  It includes provisions for re-sealing opened bags of components
with dessicant, etc.  Recently our manufacturing manager has been allowing
the use of the metalized anti-static bags used for PCBA packaging to be used
to seal components instead of the heavier metalized bags the components
originally come in.  I don't believe this is sufficient protection, but I'd
like opinions either way.  Am I over reacting or should we not allow this
type of bag for re-sealing devices?

Thanks in advance,
