ESD-Safe Component Storage Resource Hub

ESD-Safe Component Storage Resource Hub

Proper storage of ESD-sensitive components is as critical as the handling controls on your production floor. Moisture, static charge, and improper packaging can cause latent failures that don't surface until the product is in the field. This hub covers everything you need to store electronic components safely — from moisture barrier bags and desiccants to humidity indicator cards and dry cabinets — in compliance with ANSI/ESD S20.20 and IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033. For broader ESD program guidance, see our ESD Program Essentials hub.

Moisture Barrier Bags & ESD Shielding

Protecting moisture-sensitive and ESD-sensitive components during storage and transit:

  • Moisture barrier bags (MBBs) vs. static shielding bags — when to use each
  • Metal-in vs. metal-out shielding bag construction
  • IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033 moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1–6)
  • Proper sealing, labeling, and reuse guidelines

Desiccants & Humidity Control

Managing moisture inside sealed packaging and storage environments:

  • Silica gel vs. molecular sieve desiccants — capacity and reactivation
  • Desiccant sizing for bag volume and MSL requirements
  • Humidity indicator cards (HICs) — reading and replacing
  • Environmental monitoring for storage rooms and dry cabinets
