Reliable low-humidity storage for MSD components in SMT placement, PCB assembly and semiconductor manufacturing — from the compact 200-liter unit to the 1250-liter large cabinet, optionally with IoT remote monitoring.
An MSD (moisture sensitive device) dry cabinet stores moisture-sensitive components such as IC packages, BGAs, QFPs and PCBs at controlled low humidity. We supply dry cabinets of the Dr. Storage brand at ≤ 1% RH and ≤ 5% RH for different manufacturing and storage requirements.
If components absorb moisture during storage, the risk of package cracking and delamination during reflow soldering increases. Dry storage reduces this risk in SMT, PCB assembly and semiconductor manufacturing.

For the highest demands on dry storage — e.g. for especially moisture-critical MSD components at the highest sensitivity levels.
Both F1 sizes: < 1% RH (±1% RH), accuracy ±2% RH and ±1 °C, 110 V / 230 V. According to the datasheet, after the door is open for 30 seconds the cabinet returns to < 5% RH within 15 minutes and < 2% RH within 30 minutes. Power consumption F1-1200-6: avg. 135 Wh (max. 425 W), F1-600: avg. 83 Wh (max. 285 W).
The widest size range of the series — from 202 to 1250 liters — for most standard MSD applications in electronics manufacturing.
All X2B sizes: < 5% RH, accuracy ±3% RH and ±1 °C, 110 V / 230 V. According to the datasheet, after the door is open for 30 seconds the cabinet returns to < 10% RH within 15 minutes and < 5% RH within 30 minutes. Shelves per size: 1200-6 and 600 with 5, 400 with 3, 200 with 2. Power consumption X2B-1200-6: avg. 105 Wh (max. 305 W), all other sizes: avg. 55 Wh (max. 155 W).
Humidity freely adjustable from 1 to 50% RH instead of fixed at a minimum, suitable when different materials need different storage conditions.
All A1B sizes: humidity adjustable from 1 to 50% RH, accuracy ±3% RH and ±1.0 °C, 110 V / 230 V, average power consumption 48.6 Wh (max. 145 W).
Drawers can be added to our dry cabinets as an option, including cabinets with different humidity levels. They are a purpose-built storage solution for reels, PCBs and components: material is sorted by category and retrieved quickly via smooth-running slides. They come in different sizes and layouts, for small parts as well as large quantities. Example in the photo: DX2B-1200-6. We clarify which drawers fit which model when you inquire.
For semiconductor manufacturing, electronics assembly and PCB production: better material management, less waste and longer component life.

The options shown are available for the A1B, F1 and X2B series. The remaining series can also be upgraded in many ways, partly with different models. We clarify what fits your cabinet when you inquire.
Records humidity and temperature inside the cabinet and documents storage conditions for quality records.
Drawers for reels, PCBs and components in different sizes and layouts. See the drawer section for details.
Bins for quick access to small components and for work documents, distinguishable by color.
Fills the cabinet with nitrogen and stops once the set relative humidity is reached. Inlet Ø 8 mm.
Adjustable flow from 1 to 25 L/min, inlet Ø 8 mm.
External signal tower that flashes and warns when humidity exceeds the set value.
Drying and storage at elevated temperature, e.g. to reset the floor life of components without deforming sensitive carrier tapes in an oven. Temperature ranges and dimensions per model on request.
How to reset floor life: bake components according to Table 4-1 of IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033 (depending on package thickness and moisture sensitivity level), then keep them in the same cabinet under ultra-dry storage. The cabinet combines controlled heat with very low humidity and so avoids the oxidation and discoloration that can occur in high-temperature ovens.
Shorter recovery time after baking. The manufacturer quotes roughly twice the dehumidification speed.
The cabinet switches automatically between baking and ultra-dry storage (≤ 5% RH).
Components stay dry in the same cabinet after baking instead of picking up moisture between oven and storage.
According to the manufacturer, the cabinet needs only about a quarter of the power of a conventional oven.
Alerts on temperature and humidity deviations so conditions stay within the specified range.
Humidity and temperature values can be checked remotely — useful with multiple cabinets or shift work.
Continuous recording of storage conditions — helpful for quality documentation under IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033.
Early notification of deviations from the set target values, instead of random on-site checks.
Note: The models shown are a selection from the full range. Further sizes, versions and current prices are available on request.
