Capacitor plastic case sorting

How many compartments are in a capacitor box?

With 22 compartments in the capacitor box I have a place for everything from 10pF to 100 uF (I mix together anything higher because I use them so rarely). The resistor box is a bit more annoying since I need to pick through to find the exact value I need; I should upgrade it. I bought them at my local hardware store.

Can ad hoc storage cut a large number of parts?

Ad hoc storage just won’t cut when you have a large number of parts, you need a plan to keep things organized to be able to quickly find what you need when you need it. Storage cabinets with a large number of small drawers can be quite useful for storing components with many varied values, such as resistors.

Where are ceramic capacitors stored?

The remainder of the ceramic capacitors are stored in a large drawer: The desire to organize my transistors is what prompted this whole reorganization effort. You see, there is no universally agreed-upon pinout for transistors. When building circuits, I couldn’t grab any random transistor and plug it in, since the pins may be assigned differently.

How do you store resistors & caps?

Here's another similar question: electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/10513/… One method I like to use for most resistors and caps are storing them in a baseball card collection book. With some permanent marker, each "cubby hole" can provide an extremely useful catalogue. This could be a possible choice: Amazon - Ultra Pro Protectors
