Dry cabinets for medical device manufacturing are critical because sensitive medical electronics require strict environmental control. Understanding what humidity level is safe for electronic components helps prevent moisture damage during manufacturing and storage.

Why It Matters
Electronics absorb moisture during storage. Manufacturers must properly store PCBs to prevent moisture damage because poor humidity control can lead to cracking, oxidation, and solder defects during assembly.

Best Practice
Use a dry cabinet or electronic dry cabinet to maintain low humidity conditions, typically below 5% RH for sensitive devices and prevent oxidation in electronic components during long-term storage and production handling.

Why XDry
XDry dry cabinets are self-contained, nitrogen unnecessary, and provide ultra-low RH storage for MSDs, PCBs, reels, and trays.

FAQ
Q: Why use a dry cabinet?
A: To prevent moisture-related damage by storing them in a low-humidity environment (less than 5%). Doing so keeps printed circuit boards and electronic components ready for production and eliminates harsh preproduction baking cycles.

Q: What RH is ideal?
A: Ultra-low humidity for sensitive electronics needing to be stored in an environment of less than 5%, ideally closer to 1-2%
