Damaged Electronic components

[tennythomas]

Hi,

Please give me a list of electronic components which can be damaged in the storeroom (before soldering).

Thanks in advance.

Know the function of electronic components and can understand electrical principle drawing,I have DIY a digital scales electronic components,et.some
switching powper supply.

Hello There

Thank you for sharing your information. It is really no different. When they become wet, there is the battery connected, and the current provided by the battery, cannot flow through the electronic device correctly when all the internal components are shorted out by the water. The components are basically being electrocuted when you leave the battery connected, Damage the electronic parts,

Thanks and Regards
Mike Paul

Well, if it's down to poor storage conditions and bad handling before you get them, I'd suggest it was limited to premade cicruitboards, electrolytic caps and ICs of all kinds (even the simplest types).

Liquid spills of all kinds can physically damage circuit boards, caps stored or transported in hot environments can be part degraded, and of course, any IC can be damaged by a moronic person handling it. Imagine a pack of caps shipped from the far east in a top level container on the ship, then hauled across the US in that sealed metal box, it'd be cooking in there, lower quality electrolytic caps may well suffer in that heat despite not being under load.

Other parts could be damaged if there are stress fractures in component leads, but aside from that, any other damage would be visible before installation.

Even components already soldered in a machine is susceptible to moist and corrosion, so as components stored. Maintaining temperature and humidity of the storage room is important.

Any electronic component is suseptible to environmental stresses. Besides what was mentioned above, Electrolyctic capacitors can dry-out over time (years). I would be very cautious of any Electrolyctic cap more than 3 or 4 years old.
