Hello, I purchased a dry box from Terra Universal which is working great to keep boards and BGAs dry during BGA rework. The box is called a Smarticcator and has a built in humidity indicator/nitrogen controller. I maintain the humidity level at 5%. The only drawback is changing out the N2 bottles. depending on how often you open the doors, you could end up changing out the N2 cylinders every 3rd day. Hope this helps joe -----Original Message----- From: Yannick Brisson [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2003 7:32 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] Dry Cabinet Hi, we'll use the cabinet for keep our QFP dry, we use to have a moisture probleme right now, I don't know the level of humidity/dryness to be maintained, cause it's maybe depending of the component, we don't what something complex, jsut a standard cAbinet not to expensive...
