Tape-and-Reel is a method for shipment of surface mount
devices. This approach simplifies the handling of semiconductors for automated circuit board assembly systems. A
Tape-and-Reel holds hundreds-to-thousands of surface
mount devices(as compared with less than 100 devices in a
rail), so that pick-and-place machines have to be reloaded
less frequently. This savings in labor will further reduce
manufacturing costs for automated circuit board assembly.

Future Tape-and-Reel packs will also include a smaller-size
bar code label (high-density code 39) at the beginning of the
tape. (This tape label is not available on current production.)
Fairchild Semiconductor will also offer additional labels containing information per your specific specification.

Application-Total System Saving
Cost pressures today are forcing many electronics manufacturers to automate their production lines. Surface mount
technology plays a key role in this cost-savings trend because:
The mounting of devices on the PC board surface elimi-
•
nates the expense of drilling holes;
The use of pick-and-place machines to assemble the PC
•
boards greatly reduces labor costs;
The lighter and more compact assembled products re-
•
sulting from the smaller dimensions of surface mount
packages mean lower material costs.
Production processes now permit both surface mount and
insertion mount components to be assembled on the same
PC board.
MS500145-32
Automated manufacturers can improve their cost savings by
using Tape-and-Reel for surface mount devices. Simplified
handling results because hundreds-to-thousands of semiconductors are carried on a single Tape-and-Reel pack (see
the “Ordering Information” section for the exact quantities).
With this higher device count per reel (when compared with
less than 100 devices per rail), pick-and-place machines
have to be re-loaded less frequently and lower labor costs
result.
With Tape-and-Reel, manufacturers save twice — once from
using surface mount technology for automated PC board assembly and again form less device handling during shipment
and machine set-up.

Ordering Information
When you order a surface mount semiconductor, it will be in
one of the available surface mount package types (see Appendix II for the physical dimensions of the surface mount
packages). Specifying the Tape-and -Reel method of shipment ((Note 1)) means that you will receive your devices in
the following quantities per Tape-and-Reel pack:
Small Outline ICSO-8 (Narrow)2500
Plastic Chip Carrier ICPLCC-201000
Note 1: For surface mount integrated circuits, your order will automatically be shipped in conductive rails unless you indicate “Tape-and-Reel” after the device de-
Note A: A0,B0and K0dimensions are measured 0.3 mm above the inside wall of the cavity bottom.
Note B: Tape with components shall pass around a mandril radius R without damage.
Note C: Cavity tape material shall be PVC conductive (less than 10
Note D: Cover tape material shall be polyester (30–65 grams peel-back force).
Note E: D
Note F: All dimensions are in millimeters.
