Function
Dehumidifying dry cabinet, dehumidifies ICs to prevent micro-cracking..
McDry Electronic Drying Storage Cases provide low humidity storage without the use of nitrogen. Humidity is removed from the cabinets by use of a powerful zeolite desiccant. The desiccant is automatically recycled with a heating mechanism thus optimizing its absorption capability and does not require replacement. Moisture absorbed by the powerful zeolite desiccant is vaporized and released outside of the cabinet. Memory shaped metal is utilized for fail proof ventilation. Natural air-flow convection system desiccates the entire cabinet without requiring the use of a fan.

How do Micro-Cracks happen?
ordinary storage
Water Vapor
Atmospherical moisture diffuses in the IC during storage.
reflow process
Moisture gathering, pressure increase
The interface between the die pad and resin is peeled by the water vapor pressure during reflow heating
reflow process
The package is blown by expanding moisture
Further heating causes the vapor to expand, stretching the package.
reflow process
The IC housing cracks.
The Packaging releases the water due to pressure, forcing cracks
About us
A pioneer in moistureproofing management for the mounting industry
ERC located in Japan is a pioneer in “IC package moistureproofing management" in the chip mounting industry and a company that has specialized in the manufacture and sales of storage cabine ts. ERC began selling McDry products (storage cabinets for controlling moisture levels in IC packages) to the chip mounting industry in 1990. In the more than 20 years since then, some 2,000 companies all over the world, including major electronics and automotive manufacturers, have installed and used around 10,000 McDry cabinets.
