1. The embossment hole location shall be measured from the sprocket hole controlling the location of the embossment. Dimensions of embossment location and

hole location shall be applied independent of each other.

(a) the component does not protrude above the top surface of the carrier tape.

(b) the component can be removed from the cavity in a vertical direction without mechanical restriction, after the top cover tape has been removed.

(c) rotation of the component is limited to 20° maximum for 8 and 12 mm tapes and 10° maximum for 16 mm tapes (see Figure 2).

(d) lateral movement of the component is restricted to 0.5 mm maximum for 8 mm and 12 mm wide tape and to 1.0 mm maximum for 16 mm tape (see Figure 3).

(e) see Addendum in EIA Standard 481–D for standards relating to more precise taping requirements.
