STANDARD REEL PACKAGING INFORMATION

1. Component Leads:

a. Component leads shall not be bent beyond 0.047"

(1.19 mm) 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" (3.18 mm to

6.35 mm) 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" (6.35 mm) tape.

c. The disposable reels have hubs with corrugated

fibreboard flanges and core or equivalent.

d. A minimum of 12" (304.8 mm) leader of tape shall be

provided before the first and after the last component on

the reel.

e. 50 or 60 lb. Kraft paper must be wound between layer

of components as far as necessary for component

protection. Width of paper to be 0.062" to 0.250"

(1.57 mm to 6.35 mm) less than the “C” dimension of the

reel.

f.

A row of components must be centered between tapes

± 0.047" (1.19 mm). In addition, individual components

may deviate from center of component row ± 0.031"

(0.79 mm).

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"

(0.79 mm) non-cumulative. Tape splices shall overlap at

least 6" (152.4 mm) for butt joints and at least 3"

(76.2 mm) 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.

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.

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.
