How Humidity Affects Electronic Components

The Hidden Threat: Excess Humidity

Relative humidity above 60% triggers rapid oxidation on circuit board metal contacts, leading to poor electrical connections, performance degradation, or short circuits.

The Popcorn Effect

Trapped moisture vaporizes rapidly during high-temperature soldering, causing package cracks and structural failure.
Oxidation Risk

High humidity fast-tracks metal corrosion, compromising electrical connectivity.

Reliability & Lifespan
Proper moisture protection is vital to ensuring long-term hardware reliability and product lifespan.
