An excellent range of  Humidity Controlled Dry Storage Cabinets for storage of components and electronic assemblies is available from Blundells (www.blundell.co.uk). 

Most electronics companies are now fully aware that failure to store sensitive electronic devices properly can result  in expensive rework due to soldering defects, and  in premature device failure in the field. The IPC JEDEC J-STD-033B standard has been adopted by most major electronics manufacturers.

Our X-Treme series low humidity cabinets provide safe, controlled storage of electronic devices and can be used for drying, dehumidifying and safe preservation of components, assemblies, PCB’s and any sensitive electronic parts.

In each cabinet there is a built in data logger which records the relative humidity in real time, and logs each door opening event and how long it lasts. This cabinet really stands out as being stylishly designed and also highly efficient.

A range of ovens for drying, heating curing or storage is offered by us at Blundell Production Equipment Ltd (www.blundell.co.uk). These ovens  are mostly used in the electronics industry for drying or heating electronic assemblies to prevent them from retaining moisture, which can adverseley affect them during soldering.  

Operating temperatures are from 30 degrees to 220 degrees centigrade, with an option for up to 300 degrees.

These are convection ovens with fans that are adjustable for air flow. Wherever possible, printed circuit boards should be baked prior to soldering to avoid blow holes in the solder joints. Devices such as BGA’s also need to be heated to ensure that they do not contain moisture when they are soldered.
