We send parts out to be tape & reeled. We do not send all loose parts out to be tape & reeled. As you would expect, we base our decision on: * T&R service company lead time * Our production schedule * Cost benefit of T&R versus some other productio

I used to work with Chris. (neither of us are there anymore). What is he talking about is putting components into "pockets". The parts would come in, in sticks (tubes) but we wanted them in reels. At first we sent them out to be reeled, but that w

We use this for our measurements: N=(17000(D^2-d^2))/(C*P) N=number of parts on reel D=OD of carrier tape on reel (inches) d=OD of reel core (inches) C=thickness of carrier tape (mils) P=pocket pitch (millimeters) example: 6"OD on 3" core of 40-mil
