Abstract
A control board enclosure with a slideable platform configured for use within an air handler. The control board enclosure is configured such that the humidity within the enclosure is stabilized or more stable as compared to the more rapid changes in humidity that may be occurring externally. The control board enclosure is substantially sealed or air tight through the use of gaskets, sealant, and/or close fittings that the rapid changes in humidity of the external environment are less likely to affect objects within the enclosure. This humidity stabilization can improve the longevity of the control board stored therein.
