There are some desiccating ovens that work at low temps. M-temp and
McDry are 2 common ones.

Subject: [TN] Moisture sensitive Components

Good Day Technet:
Being a military OEM, we've never had to use plastic components but
we're
just starting to use them.  I'm embarrassed by the amateurish nature of
this
question, but I have no one else to turn to, so here goes...  I know
that
moisture-sensitive components require baking prior to reflow, but how do
you
bake components that are supplied in tape and reel?  Can the tape and
reels
be baked along with the components or do you have to remove the parts
and
re-package after baking?
