Categorization of Components
Purpose: Different components have different storage requirements. Categorization helps determine the correct storage method.
Types of Components:
-
Standard Passive Components (e.g., resistors, capacitors)
-
Semiconductors (ICs, transistors)
-
Electromechanical Parts (connectors, relays)
-
Moisture-Sensitive Devices (MSDs) (per JEDEC J-STD-033)
-
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)-sensitive parts
-
Shelf-life limited parts (e.g., solder paste)
Action:
-
Classify components at the time of receiving.
-
Tag them appropriately based on their handling/storage needs.
