Re: How can I organize SMD parts

I always can't find my parts, I am A messy man. If I can't find it I reorder it is more fast than looking for it. I used shoe box problem is I have 10 of those I still can't find. I try use spreadsheet that is too much work and I forgot to input the quantity.

PS: I have 3 Compartment Organiser Boxes fill with old junks.

PS: And piles of piles PCB, when I need it. It is very hard to dig into PCB piles.

Here's all mine. Chinese take away tubs, some slightly larger with anti static bags in and some with multi compartments. Used with an excel spreadsheet so I know what I have and where it is.

MDF shelving and desk built by me also.

WoW, Well organized, My problem is I can't go inside to clean or organize it, and I pay $1200 renta.

PS: My wife is not allowed junks in the house.

Re: How can I organize SMD parts

Too many PCBs, the tables and shelves are total functionless.

Here's some more and some mess.

Those shelves that you have with the sag in the middle need support.

Thank you very much for the pictures of organized items. The under the cabinet led light strips are Good.

Messy will affect my efficiency.

Re: How can I organize SMD parts

smd parts need stickers on the strips or the reels depending on how many you have. mine are in strips . like 30 or something .. might be better to pop them out into a small jar but might get messy that way . i cant see them without my glasses on and under the magnifier glass .

I will get some picks of the bunker up tomorrow, shipped out quite a few repair jobs this week so it is tidier than usual.

Re: How can I organize SMD parts

For the Used parts only , i always leave them in their boards , and trace them when needed with schematics (the parts section ) . It's the best way i think .
But i guess , it's much easier when you have a successful business to find any part you'll need without going online .It's very rare for me to need online sites .

Re: How can I organize SMD parts

First I tried SMT storage boxes from China but kinda too small, they don't hold taped parts, and bumping them causes an explosion of parts...

Next I am using binders with:
3x3 collectors "Playing cards pockets", which is OK with paper labels.

This looks a bit better:
Zipper pockets or "Zip Punched Pocket".

Re: How can I organize SMD parts

I am using Playing cards pockets, too.

pic2 ; SMD parts kits, No necessary to have it. When I need R,C,L. just go harvest from junk.

Re: How can I organize SMD parts

i use matchstick boxes (safety matches) for small parts. cheap, super cheap.

6 (or was it 8) tiny boxes fit into one larger box (those with 250-300 sticks inside) which is wide enough to fit a label.
dry by design, thick double cardboard walls, won't open by itself if it drops off the table

They're expensive on Amazon, here I can buy about 30-40 tiny boxes or 4 large ones for 1$

Re: How can I organize SMD parts

Well um pictures will have to wait as the bunker went from tidy to untidy in about a day. had a lot of repairs come in this week, for parts storage though I use double sided multi craft carriers / small organiser's that I get from one of the local discounter stores. Otherwise I have a large board repository which is split between working and boards for parts.
