| How do you store your resistors |
| << < (4/10) > >> |
| David Hess:
I use the wide drawer Akro Mills cabinets which allow three different values to be stored left to right without bending the leads in each drawer. |
| Rerouter:
Organiser trays here, Last i checked i have something like 2000 of each E24 value, (Inherited), along with enough silicon that i could make a life size model of myself out of the dies alone, Its kinda taken up an entire shed |

They aren't claimed to be ESD safe but how would you test them? What precautions. if any, should you take. I checked the FAQ but evidently they don't get asked this question frequently. They're still very useful even if static sensitive things shouldn't be stored in them. --- End quote --- I cut squares of black anti-static foam to place in the bottom of the compartments when ESD sensitive components will be stored. |

Image search provides a few ideas https://www.google.com/search?q=resistor+storage&source=lnms&tbm=isch I keep my PTH resistors in small plastic bags, trying to have no more than 10 unique values for quick experimentation. Most of my passives are SMDs and they come in compact binders like this one. If I need to use them on a solderless breadboard i solder them to two small pieces of wires. |

I have one of those cut tape binder kits for 0402 and 0805. Really good for rework type jobs and playing around. It's amazing what you can get on ebay direct from China. Through hole stuff is in plain old mailing envelopes. All the used envelopes with resistors in them are marked then put back in the box they came in. Easy. Only thing that sucks is when I put an envelope back out of order. |
