Thanks Dave, I will be sticking with Manufacturing Engineering. These are good guidelines but what is standard clearance for various packages? This is a dimension we usually seek by eye, whether we will have a problem or not. We use straight DI -

Agree with Davef. Smaller the chip, more the static charge. I used to see this even with normal chips. Get an ionizer blow. It should solve your problem. May be switch to antistatic tape if affordable.Regards. GV

We have been experiencing a strange issue with a few reels where resistors are occasionally sticking to the tape when it is peeled back on the feeder. Has anyone seen this before? If we try to move the stuck pats with a tweezers they move easily so i

I sometimes see this too, typically on a few specific sku's Some samsung 0805 caps and more annoying: 1W 2512 resistors. It can look like the reels have been wound extremely tight, although that seems an odd cause. My only solution has been the run

That's a very interesting way to expose the components while leaving the cover material connected to the tape on one side. This eliminates removing the cover material from a take up reel or collection bin on the feeder. Too bad they don't make any fo

Our AOI machines have actually caught wrong resistors before. A reel gets swapped, a vendor sends a wrong part, things happen. To think that we can't rely on resistor markings anymore, that just sucks.

From my perspective, I like marked parts because I can use AOI to verify the correct parts are being placed in production. If an operator is going to load the wrong reel, I prefer to find out on the first PCB rather than after 5000 wrong parts have b

Hi Grant, Murata do 0402 chip caps on 50K reels - example: GRM1555C1H101JZ01J 0402, 100pf, NPO/C0G 50V 5% (make sure the final letter is included - the J denotes the reel size - D is standard 10K) Rohm MCR01 series (0402 resistors) come on 6inch, 1

Hi everybody, The matter is this: after reflow, on top side leads of chip components (resistor 0805)appear some empty balls of solder. In some cases this thing is only on the lead and the solder joint seems good, in other cases this empty ball is als

On the new 4797 T12W8P feeders we are having trouble picking the very thin chip resistors. Adding foam to the feeder (beneath the pick point) helps, but it only minimizes our frustration. Universal has a reel of these parts and they are looking into
