Carrier Tape

The pocketed carrier tape is made of conductive polystyrene plus carbon material (or equivalent). The surface resistivity is 106Ω/sq.

maximum. Pocket tapes are designed so that the component remains in position for automatic handling after cover tape is removed.

Each pocket has a hole in the center for automated sensing if the pocket is occupied or not, thus facilitating device removal. Sprocket

holes along the edge of the center tape enable direct feeding into automated board assembly equipment. See figures 3 and 4 for carrier

tape dimensions.

Cover Tape

Cover tape is made of anti-static transparent polyester film. The surface resistivity is 107Ω/sq. Minimum to 1011Ω/sq. maximum. The

cover tape is heat-sealed to the edges of the carrier tape to encase the devices in the pockets. The force to peel back the cover tape from

the carrier tape shall be a MEAN value of 20gm to 80gm (2N to 0.8N).

Reel

The device loading orientation is in compliance with EIA-481, current version (Figure 2). The loaded carrier tape is wound onto either

a 13-inch reel (Figure 4) or 7-inch reel. The reel is made of Antistatic High-Impact Polystyrene. The surface resistivity 107Ω/sq. mini-

mum to 1011Ω/sq. maximum.
