Refrigerating/Freezing Electronics

Tech Square

Technical and speculative discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

We just purchased a dual mono set of circuit board w/ resistor based attenuators for our monoblocks. They are stored until the technician who works on our amps. is available to install them.

Given the heat and humidity in our area: would someone please guide me on the benefits or detriments of storing these instruments in a refrigerator or perhaps the freezer. Would storing them in the freezer -- as opposed to the relatively milder temps. of the fridge -- potentially crack the plastic circuit board or threaten resistor integrity?

Thank you for your technical expertise and happy listening!

Thank you,
SomuT

The component manufacturers should give a storage temp range. - Ugly 15:40:28 06/27/08 (0)
