Re: OT - Method of choice to sort and store assorted transistors (apart from having one bin for every part number)

 

My original database was custom software on a Commodore 64. Due to limited memory, I had to have multiple databases, one for each class of components.

Large quantities are in anti-static bags, in small corrugated paper boxes that fit nicely into lager boxes on the shelves. Tape and reel are sorted and stored in open topped boxes with dividers to find each reel or reels of components. I have over 500 reels of SMD components, and the latest addition is a reel of 1000 78L05 in a SOT-89 package.

I use small bags in bins.
Inside the bag, a paper label tells the type.
If too numerous: no bag, single part number in the whole bin. (Or 2 part
numbers with very different packages)

Most important: I use partsbox.io to keep track of the bins contents

I use small coin envelopes for bipolar transistors. Then, if they cross to
the ECG/NTE system, the envelope goes into a drawer in the 20+ 50 drawer
cabinets in the shop. I started doing this in 1970, and it has worked well.

Anything that doesn't fit that system ends up sorted in part number order
in tray bins.
