Confirm that your Dri-Shield moisture barrier bags and
dessicants have done their job by adding a Humidity Indicator
Card (HIC) to each package. Moisture sensitive spots on the HIC
respond to various levels of humidity with a visible color change
from blue to pink. Examining the cards when you open the bag will
indicate the humidity level components are experiencing, and will
help to determine whether the components are dry enough for
solder reflow.
