Widely used in clinical labs around the world to pack cheek swabs, pap smears, PCRs, etc. Can be had for free - huge amounts of them are thrown away when expired. Get connected with a clinical lab worker or a janitor, you'll have plenty in no time. |

Something I learned from my late dad is to use small paper envelopes to store small PTH parts (and I also use it to store SMDs as well). The advantage is that you can write any information on the envelope. Drawer bins and plastic container boxes are used for the larger parts (ICs, power transistors, etc.) More photos at: https://sites.google.com/view/vbeletronico/componentes |

I use Resistor Kits from Analog Technologies. If I need to breadboard a circuit then I use one of these adapters to convert the SMD resistor to a more bread-board friendly variant. |

It's a medium sized plastic case with a foam insert carrying an array of plastic tubes long enough to hold reistors. It even came with a set of labels. Only E12 but I've annotated for E24. Higher precision are in polybags in a Realty Useful Box. No point in keeping every E48 or E96 Unlike the modern books the RS box can hold a usable quanity of resistors in each tube not just 10 or so. Shame they don't sell them any more. I do have a spare. --- End quote --- Snap. Funilly enough. I thought you copied my pictures. I took them over 11 years ago. https://www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/component-organization/msg12987/#msg12987 |

Component drawers, ziplock baggies, repurposed photograpic paper boxes, sorting boxes. I try to keep all E24 values in stock in THT, 1206 and 0805. u |
