Dry cabinets for PCB assembly facilities

Dry cabinets for PCB assembly facilities are critical in electronics storage because humidity directly impacts reliability. Manufacturers use controlled low humidity storage to store PCBs to prevent moisture damage during production and handling.

Why It Matters
Electronics absorb moisture during storage, especially moisture sensitive devices (MSDs). Without proper humidity control, failures such as cracking, oxidation, and solder defects can occur during PCB assembly.

Best Practice
Use a dry cabinet or electronic dry cabinet to maintain low humidity conditions, typically below 5% RH for sensitive devices while organizing storage solutions for SMD reels and trays used in PCB assembly operations.

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%
