To me, it sounds like a bored quality engineer looking for problems where none exist. I will say that the terminal velocity of a falling reel is below the threshold that would cause damage to typical components. Therefor, it is safe to use a reel th

I seriously doubt it. I have never heard anyone even ask about that. What failure mode exactly are you looking at? If by chance you have found ceramic capacitors on assemblies that have failed due to cracks, it wasn't because the reel was dropped b

We do some of our own tape and reeling. We build a small module then ship it in tape and reel. When we first started I could not get a sample just the gerbers and part data. I asked a few places. But without samples they weren't any help. Except for

we are having problem with the flipchip sticking to the tape and reel cover, jumping around the tape pockets, and double stacking at placement during production. Does anybody else have this problem? Does anybody have a solution.

I am looking for a machine to put parts on tape and reel. I am supplied with parts from customers that are on short cut strips for production prototype boards. I would like to put these onto feeders, but they need to be re-taped first. Is there is a

I'm looking for carton boxes for SMT-reels, as on this picture: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v288/drone67/DSC00464.jpg They used to be supplied with parts from Philips, but they don't seem to make these anymore.

Potential causes are: * Static charge [get a deionizing fan] * Adhesive on the inside of the cover tape [fix your supplier]

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
