4.3.2.1 Moisture Barrier Bag
The tape reels are stored inside a moisture barrier bag (MBB), together with a humidity indica-
tor card and desiccant pouches - see Figure 41. The bag is ESD protected and delimits mois-

tearing. The bag protects the PLSx3 modules from moisture exposure. It should not be opened
until the devices are ready to be soldered onto the application.
