Storing PTM7950

[Poinkachu]

So where / how should I store my leftover PTM7950 ?

My room can go up to like maybe lower side of 30ish celcius when AC is turned off (which is when I'm out of the house).

Afaik if the temperature is 45c or below in the room it should be fine.

I was wondering whether it needs to be stored in a way colder place if I want it to lasts as long as possible.

And if it does, like how much colder.

Officially: 23±2˚C

Then again it also says shelf life 12 months...
And we know these things are designed to be used for at least 5 years in much hotter enviorements, with many heat cycles.
So yeah I wouldn't think about storage conditions too much, just don't leave it out in the sun .

Thank you for the info and the white paper.

Guess I don't need to buy a mini fridge just to store it.

I've got mine in a little beverage fridge on my nightstand (stores my cold hat for migraines)
