Hi,

Thank you for contacting Intel community.

Please note that Intel devices has the shelf life of 36months (per JEDEC J-STD-033B.1). Please refer to the ADV document below. https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/pcn/adv1818.pdf. Shelf-life information is contained on the Moisture Barrier Bag label.

Kindly refer to AN353 for process reflow.

Dear Aiman,

I am sorry to bother you again.

Is the 36 months shelf life also valid for EPCS4SI8N ?

Best regards
