If the IC's were moisture sensitive, they usually come in trays wrapped in
barrier bags, not tubes. Least ways, I've never met any in tubes. Moisture
control is 10% RH or less and 25C or less, and cabinets are available that
go down to 3% RH.

What are you trying to protect the I/C's from???

If it is a moisture issue, you should probably store them in a low humidity
incubator.  These are quite readily avalible and can be promoted as either
an incubator of humidity chamber.  The idea is just to maintain a humidity
of 15% or lower (I think) at ambient.

If it is simply a static issue, I tend to agree with Eric.

Cheers

Hello all, Does any one have any good suggestions for storing tubed smt

Thanks in advance.
