I have always understood desiccant as being the material used in a desiccant pouch or other container that absorbs moisture.
A Drybox is a desiccator, a device used to remove moisture, with or without a heating option.

Subject: Re: [TN] PCBs in dry chambers
Thanks Dave,
Methinks a few misnomers were attributed to me unfairly, but that is OK as long as the discussion moves forward.
My recommendation, and I will change my response format on future posts accordingly, is as follows:
1. Cite the appropriate standard
> Use IPC-1601, Printed Board Handling and Storage Guidelines, as the foundation document.
2. If it needs additional information, fill out a standards improvement form.
> Provide context and data when available.
3. Clarify terminology used.
> This one is sometimes most important as the same term means different things in various points along the chain. My perfect example is 'Panel.' A lot of manufacturers use the term panel when they mean array and this conflicts with the PCB fabricators as the Panel is the Master or Shop Panel. Also, for me a dry chamber is a desiccant (unheated, low humidity) chamber. I think this is what caused the most confusion on this particular thread.
