Enclosure Heaters: "Life Insurance" for Electronics

From STEGO, Inc.

Today's continuous miniaturization of components results in high packing densities within enclosures. These ever-increasing densities lead to higher temperatures with the enclosure - figures that will increase as ambient temperatures rise. In response to this thermal problem, cooling systems have become standard in many applications. However, just as critical and widely underestimated, are failures caused by the formation of moisture. Under certain climatic circumstances, moisture can build up not only in outdoor or poorly insulated enclosures, but also in highly protected and well-sealed enclosures.
