Moisture Barrier Bag (MBB)
It is essential to keep Surface-Mount Devices (SMDs) dry from manufacturing point to the time of reflow soldering. Moisture Barrier Bag, also known as Vapor Barrier Bag, is made by multiple layers of plastic and a thin aluminum layer or aluminized layer that controls moisture vapor leakage. Basically, there are 3 kinds of Moisture Barrier Bags (MBBs), Tyvek MBB, AMBB and ANMBB, in the market. The key factor of moisture barrier function of the bag is a metal layer or a metalized layer, like thickness of the foil layer, metalized layer, etc., but the thickness or the material of other layers also affects the quality of MBB as well.
Thickness unitsMil – 0.001 inch, ex) 3 mils = 0.003 x 25.4 mm = 0.0762 mm = 76.2 microns MVTRThe Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR) is the rate that water vapor passes through a specific area of barrier material. MVTR is measured in grams of water vapor per 100 square inches of barrier per 24 hours (g/100 in.2/24 h). EIA 583 Packaging Material Standards for Moisture-Sensitive Items defindes a Class 1 barrier as having an MVTR of <0.02 g/100 in.2/24 h. A Class 2 barrier is set at <0.08 g/100 in.2/24 h. |
