STANDARD REEL PACKAGING INFORMATION
1. Component Leads:
a. Component leads shall not be bent beyond 0.047"
[1.19mm] maximum from their nominal position when
measured from the leading edge of the component
lead at the inside tape edge and at the lead egress
from the component.
b. The 'C' dimension shall be governed by the overall
length of the reel packaged component. The distance
between flanges shall be 0.125" to 0.250" [3.18mm to
6.35mm] greater than the overall component length.
g. Staples shall not be used for splicing. Not more than
4 layers of tape shall be used in any splice area and
no tape shall be offset from another by more than
0.031" [0.79mm] non-cumulative. Tape splices shall
overlap at least 6" [152.4mm] for butt joints and at
least 3" [76.2mm] for lap joints and shall not be weaker
than unspliced tape. Universal splicing clips may also
be used.
h. Quantity per reel shall be controlled so that tape
components and cover shall not extend beyond the
smallest dimension of the flange (either across flats or
diameter). Once the quantity per reel for each part
number has been established, future orders for that
part number shall be packaged in that quantity.
When order or release quantity is less than the
established quantity, a standard commercial pack is to
be used.
2. Orientation:
a. All polarized components must be oriented to one
direction. The cathode lead tape shall be a color and
the anode lead tape shall be white.
3. Reeling:
a. Components on any reel shall not represent more than
two date codes when date code identification is
required.
b. Component leads shall be positioned between pairs of
0.250" [6.35mm] tape.
i. A maximum of 0.25% of the components per reel
quantity may be missing without consecutive missing
components.
c. The disposable reels have hubs with corrugated
fiberboard flanges and core.
j. Adequate protection must be provided to prevent
physical damage to both reel and components during
shipment and storage.
d. A minimum of 12" [304.8mm] leader of tape shall be
provided before the first and after the last component
on the reel.
e. 50 to 60 lb. Kraft paper must be wound between layers
of components as far as necessary for component
protection. Width of paper to be 0.062" to 0.250"
[1.57mm to 6.35mm] less than the 'C' dimension of the reel.
f. Row components must be centered between tapes
± 0.047" [1.19mm]. In addition, individual components
may deviate from center of component row ± 0.031" [0.79].
4. Marking:
a. Minimum reel and carton marking shall consist of the
following: Customer Part Number, Purchase Order
No., Quantity, Package Date, Manufacturer's name,
Electrical Value, Date Code, Vishay Sprague Part
Number and Country of Origin.
