This repeats a very similar thread recently. The obvious answers are given already. However there are extra/different steps that can be taken depending on where your data has come from. If you are an OEM and you are building using data that was gener

Over simplified generic method. Step 1: make a document with every part shape showing zero orientation. Specify CW or CCW. Step 2: Find every step in the process that does not follow the standardisation and adjust as needed. The best I saw this wor

Any tape--any pitch. On our C5 platform every part number (in your database) has a package type assigned to it. The package type contains the information about the pitch and component orientation. When you load the feeder you scan the part number-

We usually program the components in the component database with pin 1 in the lower left corner. Then in the feeder database we set the component orientaion to 270 deg for Tray feeders(turn the tray in the feeder 180 deg) and "tube" feeders. For tape

We have a material that is been stick at cover tape, only 1 supplier is failing and only embossed tape packing is failing. A dark spots between tape and component are observed, we already bake material to se if is humidity, is not. We already apply

The standard you need is EIA-481B. It details the taping of components from 8mm tape up to 200mm tape including component orientations. 8, 12, 16 and 24mm tape has the sprocket holes only on one side so it is easy to determine the proper orientatio

I want to place smd's by hand from tape strips using a vacuum pump. What is the orientation of polarised smd components on reels/tapes? Is there a standard manufacturing orientation, or are there variations? I understand some manufactures have part

There 2 main rival standards for orientation in tape and because you can't really trust manufacturers to stick to one or the other or something else entirely it is always wise to check the datasheet. Typically an SOIC will have pin 1 the same end as

This information is normally available in the component's data sheet (typically toward the end where the packaging is detailed.)

Sometimes when a customer has sent parts on reel without any leader, we will take out the first 5-8 parts and then tie off the cover tape with some leftover tape from the last run. We keep those parts we removed and then place them back in the feede
