How relative humidity affects circuit boards is critical in electronics storage because humidity directly impacts reliability. A dry cabinet provides controlled low humidity storage to store PCBs to prevent moisture damage.

Why It Matters
Electronics absorb moisture during storage. Understanding what humidity level is safe for electronic components is important because without proper humidity control, failures such as cracking, oxidation, and solder defects occur 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 situations where moisture sensitive components get damaged.
