After a recent pest extermination, I decided to put some order in my lab. Categorized and stored many things. ICs were last: They wouldn't fit in my plastic drawer rack anymore and they weren't easily distinguishable. I needed another solution and here's what I came up with:
Components:
Medium size card holder - 12.00 euros
100 card pack - 2.50 euros
Printer
Pair of scissors
Stick glue
The result is attached.
Easy distinction, a few info on each, and enough space in each bag to hold all of my spare ICs. Plus, I did away with all those bags that I had accumulated!
The only problem is that there's isn't enough room for many different cards. Maybe I 'll buy another holder.
(Don't mind the Greek characters in the pictures, they don't carry information. If they prevent you from opening the pictures tell me so.)
Now about ESD: I mostly work with the 74XX series and they're pretty sturdy. I haven't had any incident in the last 3 years. Also my workspace isn't grounded, so any countermeasure would be in vain. They only bag that holds some PICAXEs has them in black foam and sealed in the plastic bag they came and that's it.
And yes, I read here and here before I wrote the above.
Tell me what you guys think.
