Ultra low humidity dry cabinets (1% RH) for long-term storage of electronic components
Our McDry dry cabinets enable moisture-proof and ultra low humidity storage for electronic components – no nitrogen required, resulting in lower running costs.
Ideal for long-term storage of electronic components and moisture sensitive devices (MSD) in ultra low humidity environments, widely used in PCB and semiconductor manufacturing.
Low humidity
of less than 1 RH%
Avoidance of microcracks during the reflow process
(Popcorn Cracks)

The McDry dry cabinets models
The right dry cabinets for your application.
Function of our dry cabinets
Dehumidification of the dry cabinets, dehumidification of the ICs to prevent microcracks.
The McDry dry cabinet enables ultra low humidity storage (1% RH) for long-term storage of electronic components, PCBs and moisture sensitive devices (MSD) without nitrogen. Moisture is extracted from the cabinets through the use of a high-performance zeolite desiccant. The desiccant is automatically recycled by a heating mechanism, optimizing its absorption capacity, and does not need to be replaced. The moisture absorbed by the powerful zeolite desiccant is evaporated and released outside the cabinet. Memory metal is used for fail-safe ventilation.
Applications:
– Long-term storage of electronic components
– Dry cabinets for PCB and MSD storage
– Low humidity storage (<1% RH)
– Calibrated humidity controlled storage systems
How do microcracks develop?
Normal storage
Water vapor

Humidity diffuses into the IC during storage.
Reflow process
Accumulation of moisture, increase in pressure

The interface between the matrix and the resin is peeled off by the water vapor pressure during the reflow process.
Reflow process
The packaging is inflated by expanding moisture

When heated further, the steam expands and stretches the packaging.
Reflow process
The IC housing has cracks.

The packaging releases the water due to the pressure, which leads to cracks.

About us
A pioneer in moisture management for the assembly industry
ERC, based in Japan, is a pioneer in the field of “moisture protection of IC packages” in the chip assembly industry and a company specializing in the manufacture and sale of dry cabinets. ERC began selling McDry products (dry cabinets to control the moisture content in IC packages) to the chip assembly industry in 1990. In the more than 20 years since then, some 2,000 companies around the world, including major electronics and automotive manufacturers, have installed and used around 10,000 McDry dry cabinets.
