Considus dry storage system offers protection for sensitive components and assemblies. Is used when storage under defined conditions of humidity or active component drying is required. Can be used for electronic components, partially assembled electronic modules, printed circuit boards, foils, wafers and components with oxidation-sensitive surfaces. Three dehumidification technologies are available:  adsorption dehumidification; nitrogen dehumidification, and compressed-air dehumidification.  Achieves <3% relative humidity less than one minute after door closed. Allows humidity-sensitive components in accordance with IPC/JEDEC-STD-033 to be stored indefinitely.
