You&rsquo;ve got humidity spikes and condensation that just doesn&rsquo;t want to go away. When that moisture hits a PCB, you start seeing leakage currents and signal drift. It&rsquo;s a headache. To fix this, we use targeted PCB heating lamps. Think of them as tiny infrared elements that keep the board just warm enough to stay above the dew point. No moisture, no drama.</p>
