Hi John, Aerofeed,Inc. has the "Dry box" nitrogen cabinets. 215-257-1152 and they are in PA. I purchased one last year and it has been doing a wonderful job for our operations. I use it to store BGAs and micro BGAs after baking. To reduce the cost, I

Hell Dave, I am about to follow your example to rig a refrigerator into a N2 chamber. One of questions in my mind is how to you keep a constant N2 flow? We will have a N2 input, are we going to have some kind air output? Thanks a lot for your help!

The best way is to have proper system in place that shows which reel is stored where. Now mycronic, juki, fuji and more have these towers(MSD), where you can keep your parts in. It is a very elegant solution with a beautiful software that tells you w

Handling requirements of all classifications of moisture sensitive devices is found in J-STD-033. It really isn't an issue for most parts unless they're going to reach reflow temperature again, which is unlikely unless you're removing a nearby compo

This guideline is actually in the IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-033, May 1999 (although it is not spelled out very clearly, thus the current confusion in the industry). The technical reason is that moisture diffusion is a very slow process. Once parts ha

Hi everyone I am in the process of reviewing our storage of SMT components. At the moment they are pretty much on open shelves in the factory environment. We endevour to reseal components labled 'moisture sensitive' in their original packaging, bu

You may also consider different sizes of, off the shelf, Dry Box. i.e Seika McDray (http://www.seikausa.com/)as an alternative to N2. It is mobile, no N2 hard piping, less operating expence and actually can remove moisture while storing. good luck!

Dear Mike, As you might have noticed from the labels on the dry bags, the maximum floor life is specified by the component manufacturer and it can range from 1 year (level 2) down to a few hours after mandatory bake (level 6). This limit is based o

Hi SMTnet. I have a series of sensitive parts and solder preforms which degrade when exposed to oxygen and moisture. It seems the standard way of protecting these components is to use a nitrogen purged cabinet as storage. This seems to use a lot of
