The SBIG Desiccant Plug is a user-replaceable cartridge designed to prevent moisture accumulation within the chamber of SBIG Aluma series cameras. This essential maintenance accessory features a ceramic filter and molecular sieve desiccant that can be recharged using a conventional oven, eliminating the need for costly factory service and downtime.
