I am trying to find long-lasting items -- to buy in bulk. The idea is to order them for a lifetime. What are long-lasting electronic items? Which items are good idea to stock? I have tried to get ideas from this discussion.
==== YES List ====
No staling
- prototyping tools: breadboards
Good idea (?)
- 1M resistors
- 1k-10k resistors
No evaporation but better items may be developed, takes little room
- ceramic caps
- op amps: LM741,
- temperature sensors: DS18B20
- transistors such as BC547C
==== NO LIST ====
Moving parts, no lubrication, can get jammed
- pots
Modern technology
- FPGAs
Absorbs moisture, evaporates
- rosin (DIY when you need with denatured alcohol+pine cones)
- electrolytic caps
==== HEAVY LIST ====
Must be ordered as bulk via sea to ge cheaply, long-lasting
- Antistatic mat (55 RMB/1m^2, like this, but 3kg per pc. In Chinese, 防静电台垫 防静电桌垫 防静电胶皮)
- solid 1000' 22AWG spools (red and black)
- stranded 100' 22AWG spools
- PCB stand
- Magnifier glass table things such as this (in Chinese, 20倍放大镜 带灯放大镜 折叠式放大镜 台式放大镜LT-86C 20X)
- Ultrasonic cleaners (such as these. In Chinese, 数码型不锈钢超声波清洗机)
- Cabinets, lockets -- (like these)
- Soldering stations such as this (in Chinese, 双数显热风枪带烙铁 热风拆焊台 超)
