Neil, IPC has recently developed (through joint committee action with JEDEC) the J-STD-020, Moisture/Reflow Sensitivity Classification for Plastic Integrated Circuit Surface Mount Devices. This document does not cover the handling procedures. You can still use the IPC-SM-786, rev. A, until the IPC & JEDEC committees develop a new document to cover this. If you have any questions, please call me at 847/509-9700, x393. Or you can call JEDEC, Ms. Ingrid Taylor. They have two separate, existing documents that cover the classification (JESD22-A112, now superseded by J-020) and another document (JESD ???) that covers handling. Ingrid can give you more details faster than I can. Ingrid Taylor 703/907-7560, email [log in to unmask] On Fri, 24 Jan 1997, Neil W.
