Folks,
Got numerous tape & reel stacks for frequently used passives, mostly
0805. The older kind, white paper-like with the parts in their li'l dungeons and some milky plastic tape above. Mostly pre-RoHS, meaning leaded. Solderability has never been an issue even after decades (early adopter). But taoe & reel gets old, uses lots of space and it takes longer to get at a 0.01u cap than reaching into a bin. So I am thinking about ripping them all open and dumping the parts into vials, paper pouches and pill containers.Or does such old tape & reel still protect against oxidizing effects?
