I've got one of these cabinets, which I intend to use for storing electronic components:
It has 24 drawers (each 175 x 69 x 37mm).
Every drawer can be subdivided into up to six compartments by installing dividers.
Can you suggest a good system for organizing resistors, capacitors and suchlike into the limited number of drawers that's available?
Answer
For one thing, I'd organize them by significant figures and group all different decades together, like 4.7 ohm, 47 ohm, 4.7k, all in the same box. Then they only differ by the multiplier band, which is pretty easy to spot. Not sure what to do if you have lots of different 5% or 1% values, though.
E6 (20%): 10 15 22 33 47 68
E12 (10%): 10 12 15 18 22 27 33 39 47 56 68 82
E24 ( 5%): 10 11 12 13 15 16 18 20 22 24 27 30 33 36 39 43 47 51 56 62 68 75 82 91
