sbelyo Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 So I am planning on ordering a bunch of the BC546 and BC556 for the Unbalanced\Balanced board and I'll need to measure, sort, label and store them. 1. can I store them in a regular plastic parts bin with dividers? 2. can I stick labels on the pins and fold the labels closed?

Pars Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 The best way that I have found is to use heavy stock and number in rows. I use 3M double sided tape to stick the devices on, then put it in an antistat bag. Add the measurement key, or just have that in a spreadsheet.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbelyo Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Yeah, that sounds good. Do I have to find something anti-static to store them in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pars Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I would. Lately, orders from Arrow have been using fairly large antistat bags for everything. You can also buy them with ziploc-type closures. Places like OfficeMax or staples carry them I believe.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbelyo Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I think I'll go that route... Pretty good idea I found these with free prime shipping https://www.amazon.com/Antistatic-Bags-Resealable-10X14-Pack/dp/B000BSJCT6/ref=cm_wl_huc_item Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespav Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I'll need to measure, sort, label and store them.Are you have plans to do this in a temperature-controlled environment?If no - just label bins with desired precision step like this:But be informed, hFE (beta) and Vbe have sensible tempco, so the more precise step you want - the more precise temperature must be controlled.SMD cases can be sorted and stored straight on the two-sided scotch like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbelyo Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I like the bin too, I was just worried about static. The bin would've been my first choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I bought a bunch of these from eBay, and use those to store jfets and low-noise bipolars, and sorted pairs/quads etc, with an ink-marker to write details.
