The usual desiccators are based on calciumchloride and I think when used form calciumhydroxide in solution which could be corrosive to electronics.
Silicagel is perfectly fine for electronics and can be baked when saturated and then reused.
A cheap but not reusable method is to just fill some pouches or small socks with sugar and replace once saturated. An old time repairman i knew, used to put a bag with sugar inside the tv set when servicing if it was in a damp place.
