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.
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].
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 release
quantity is less than the established quantity, a standard
commercial pack is to be used.
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.
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.
j. Adequate protection must be provided to prevent physical
damage to both reel and components during shipment
and storage.
c. The disposable reels have hubs with corrugated fiber
board flanges and core.
d. A minimum of 12" [304.8mm] leader of tape sh all be
provided before the first and after the last component on
the reel.
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.
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.
