Nicolas, 4.1.2.1 and 4.1.2.2 mention the requirements for drying an MSD to resett the clock life. 4.1.2.2 states that once a component is dried, refer to 5.3 for safe storage. Under that specification is 5.3.3.2 DRY Cabinet at 5% RH- This states tha

As soon as the oven temp falls below 40 C and the RH rises above 5% then you need to consider that the floor clock will start. Long term storage of devices in an oven is not good for them as it reduced their solderability and can affect their perform

We use an "Inert Gas Cabinet" sold by Stanley Storage Systems (800-523-9462). It's similar to a very large tool box (steel cabinet with wide, steel drawers...ours is 59"H x 30"W x 28"D, but they make two smaller sizes). They make it air-tight by we

Dason: Hi mate, Could you help clarify this abit? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ we found component weight will reduce more than 50% of the moisture weight after place in the cabinet with 55C and less than 5 % for 48 hours ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just wondering what others are doing as far MSD parts. We keep most of our parts in the dry cabinet before use. Most bags are openend and have passed the recomendation as far as mounting within a certain time. We have had defects with boards that

If you're looking for something for less than $5-10k, you should consider setting up a point-of-use air drying system. If you can supply fairly dry air from a house system to the point of use dryer, you can acheive humidty levels below 2% easily. W

Hi, it is not necessary to store MSDs in nitrogen to stop them absorbing moisture, just a dry environment. Nitrogen storage is good for storing devices for many years as it reduces the oxidation of the solderable surfaces. Best option for storing MSD

A baking oven over 100 C will be at zero humidity. Do you really need to store pcbs/devices at 200 C...this will surely harm some products ? IPC 33B01 allows storage of MSDs in a dry cabinet at less then 5%.....these can operate at room temp or 40 /

When leaving a job set up on pick and place machines, it is important to return any moisture sensitive devices on reels to a dry cabinet overnight to reduce the exposure time. What are some ways to identify which reels need removed? A sticker placed

When baking parts at 90C that require 15 hours bake time with parts that require 25 hours bake time, is it acceptable to open the oven and remove the former (15 hours) parts and then continue the 25 hours cycle for the remainder of the parts in the o
