IC storage

Hi,



Soon I will be needing to store a large selection of chips for a while and am wondering whats the best way to store them, they will vary from BGA's and QFP's to DIP's. I was looking at using a standard "raaco" 45 drawer storage cabinet.



Any help would be great, thanks

Depends..are you ISO? All the cabinets /drawers have to be that anti-stat black , anti-stat straps, etc. Are you in a humid area ? (coastal) can probably get away with plain el-cheapo cabinets/drawers. Cold/dry mid-west winters? I'd get the best anti-stat available! Myself? I'd use the el-cheapo metal cabinet/plastic drawers & line the bottoms with that black anti-stat foam/use those tiny anti-stat bags ( cheap from these guys

& make sure there's a "bit" of humidity in the working area. G'Luck!
