------Question for 13084U0500-E Please Put your question below------
According to the datasheet, this product is rated as MSL Level 1. Could you please let us know the allowable relative humidity range under which this product can be used?
Hello @ichi345
Welcome to DigiKey’s TechForum,
MSL relates to moisture sensitivity in regards to its affects on solderability. If a component does not undergo reflow soldering during assembly, the threat of moisture-induced thermal expansion is fundamentally non-existent. So the part will essentially be listed as MSL 1.
This part has MICE rating of M1 L1 C1 E1

C1 is a controlled office environment, you are looking at Relative Humidity Range: 5% to 85% (non-condensing).
Thank you for your response.
We understand that the operating temperature range associated with the C1 classification is -10°C to +60°C. However, the datasheet for this product specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C.
Could you please clarify the reason why this product is rated as C1 rather than a higher environmental category?
