IC packaging is at risk within 24 hours of leaving the moisture barrier bags (MBBs). They continuously absorb moisture from the humidity in the air, which leads to microcracks during reflow heating.
Our solutions offer optimum, extremely low-moisture and moisture-proof storage for IC housings. They continuously absorb moisture from the humidity in the air, which leads to microcracks during reflow heating. Moisture-sensitive components have an unlimited service life, and microcracks or popcorning during the reflow process are not an issue.
We have collected various data with different conditions to check the quality of our system. Our powerful Zeoluite allows you to interact every 10 minutes with an opening time of 2 minutes.
McDry is your path to just-in-time production.
Storage of sensitive surface-mounted components at low humidity in accordance with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033D. To avoid microcracks, ICs and LEDs containing moisture can be baked or stored in McDry.
Electrostatic discharges destroy electronic devices. To prevent this, antistatic measures are applied to Mcdry and McDRY in accordance with IEC61340-5-1.
Mcdry is recommended for the storage of IC packaging after opening bags with a moisture barrier. As specified by IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033D.
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.

Calibration of the hygrometer
Finely tuned quality
How to calibrate
During the drying cabinet inspection of MSL components, only the humidity value of the hygrometer can be checked for the humidity value of 5%RH or less in the drying cabinet. Therefore, to confirm that the value of the hygrometer used is accurate, please, calibrate the hygrometer at a humidity value of 5 % RH. This is done approximately once a year.
How is calibration carried out?
The manufacturer also performs a calibration at a point humidity of 5%RH. While your hygrometer is being calibrated, we will support you with an alternative hygrometer so that you have no downtime.
A calibration certificate for the hygrometer is required, especially at the time of your audit. If you are a European or American company, we will also submit a calibration certificate in English.
Troubleshooting
Check the display on the front.
A green LED should be visible.
Incorrect voltage can cause damage,
which can lead to a non-functioning system.
Speak to your technical personnel.
Required voltage for our product range:
AC 230V 50/60 Hz
A power surge may have damaged your system. Try unplugging everything and restarting the system. After 5 minutes, the system should start running again and the humidity should drop continuously.
Both switches must be switched on. You will find them on the front of the device.
It is recommended to calibrate the moisture meter once a year.
A low battery will result in a flashing LED and the system may not work properly.
The average battery life is 1 year.
Check the seals, all sides of the appliance and all attached elements for damage indicating a malfunction.
