Storage solutions for SMD reels and trays is critical in electronics storage because humidity directly impacts reliability. Similar to
dry cabinets for PCB assembly facilities, a dry cabinet provides controlled low humidity storage to prevent moisture damage.
Why It Matters
Electronics absorb moisture during storage. When evaluating what size dry cabinet do I need, remember that 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, especially for moisture sensitive devices (MSDs).
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%
