My design resistors are mostly all metal film (MRS) and in value order in
bin cabinets. I have antistatic open-end boxes filled with numerous plastic
jars. My family and I have been collecting (clear) plastic peanut butter
jars forever. These are in two sizes and all labeled on the cover and jar
body. For larger assemblies, I utilize antistatic bags and 2 litre ice cream
tubs all labeled. Sections include power resistors, connectors, LCD's, large
thyristors, large caps, small motors, solenoids, keypads, speakers, audio
alarms, mics, sensors and so on. All my IC's are in anti-static carrier in
manufacturer alphanumeric order thereafter in bins. My zeners are in voltage
order, stuck in antistatic type form. Fans, large motors, transformers are
kept on a lower shelf. Old PCBs are on slotted wooden boards in antistatic
boxes. The aim was to keep the dust on the components to a minimum. RH & TH
are not a problem here. Good luck!
