Make your own nitrogen for the storage of electronic components

The (long-term) storage of PCBs and oxidation-sensitive electronic components can have undesirable consequences for the conductor paths and insulation layers or for the solderability of components. Adding dry, inert nitrogen in storage cabinets (dry/nitrogen cabinets) and packaging (moisture barrier bags) prevents these negative effects. The use of gas cylinders for this application often makes storage very expensive, while making the required nitrogen on-demand with a generator can often be done for a fraction of the cost.
