In the electronics industry, it is often used for storing moisture-sensitive components (MSD) and printed circuit boards (PCB) in a moisture-free environment. The rising process temperatures associated with the transition to lead-free soldering pose a risk to components and PCBs. The moisture in the electronic components that enter the SMD reflow soldering ovens suddenly evaporates at the high temperatures and tries to get out of the component with pressure, causing malfunctions such as cracking, swelling, delamination and popcorn effect. According to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033 Joint Industry Standard, moisture-sensitive devices (MSDs) should be stored in a moisture-free environment. X-Treme Series Auto Dry Cabinets is also an IPC member and produces its cabinets to this standard.

With the automatic drying cabinets of the X-Treme series, we offer intelligent storage solutions for drying, baking, storing and testing moisture-sensitive devices (MSD). Drying cabinet, can be set between 0.5%Rh – 95%Rh (relative humidity) and 2ᵒC – 125ᵒC temperature values.

Our drying cabinet solutions increase productivity by contributing to production quality and increase production profitability by preventing costly production downtime.

The drying cabinet is also called a desiccator, desiccant drying cabinet, drying box, dehumidification cabinet, low humidity cabinet, ultra-low humidity cabinet and controlled humidity cabinet. Learn more about our solutions on this page.
