NOTES:
1. The cavity defined by A
0
, B
0
, and T shall be configured to provide sufficient clearance
surrounding the component so that:
a) the component does not protrude beyond either 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 20º maximum (see Sketches A & B);
d) lateral movement of the component is restricted to 0.5mm maximum
(see Sketch C).
2. Tape with or without components shall pass around radius “R” without damage.
3. Bar code labeling (if required) shall be on the side of the reel opposite the sprocket
holes. Refer to EIA-556.
4. If P
1
= 2.0mm, the tape may not properly index in all tape feeders.
