The Mekko AD101 is a high-performance, table-top dry storage cabinet engineered for the electronics assembly industry to protect moisture-sensitive components and substrates. Because it uses Mekko’s proprietary “MTX-Flow” active desiccant technology, the AD101 dehumidifies faster and more efficiently than standard industry alternatives, maintaining internal humidity below 5% RH with a typical operating range of 1-3% RH. OnBoard Solutions supplies the AD101 to Australian electronics manufacturers who need reliable, low-maintenance dry storage without a full production-floor footprint.

Mekko AD101 Features

• 250-litre capacity with up to 10 removable sliding shelves
• Single-door, table-top footprint of 775mm (H) x 700mm (W) x 750mm (D)
• Continually regenerating molecular sieve desiccant with no “off-time”
• Recovers to set humidity within 2 minutes of the door opening
• Humidity display accurate to within ±1% RH
• Closed-loop control system with internal temperature and humidity dials
• No need for moisture barrier bags, nitrogen, or compressed air
• Complies with the IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033C standard

Applications

This cabinet suits labs and production floors that need precise, real-time environmental tracking without the cost of moisture barrier bags, nitrogen, or compressed air. Consequently, technicians can store reels, trays, and PCBs between processes and remove them dry and ready to reflow. Because the closed-loop control system never stops absorbing moisture, there is no baking cycle to manage and no risk of oxidation from repeated heat exposure. Because the desiccant is self-healing at the molecular level, there are also no filters or consumables to replace, which keeps running costs low over the cabinet’s service life. Additionally, the AD101’s real-time computer read-out makes it straightforward to log humidity data for quality audits. For facilities with higher throughput, the Mekko AD606 Humidity Cabinet offers the same MTX-Flow technology in a larger, six-door format.

Overall, the Mekko AD101 gives electronics manufacturers a compact, reliable way to keep moisture-sensitive components within IPC/JEDEC limits without consumables.
