Is anyone aware of the spec for tape if any?

Thanks for the spec Greg, For us it is the stiffness.

I agree the stiffness is definately the problem.

Hi Russ, Kemet - http://www.kemet.com/kemet/web/homepage/kechome.nsf/vapubfilesname/F3102CE.pdf/$file/F3102CE.pdf You want page 29 of 30 of this PDF Murata - http://www.murata.com/catalog/c02e11.pdf Page 132 of the catalog, or 134 of the PDF.

I wouldn't say we've escaped either - Fuji blade wear is heavily up at the moment.

Yes I would have to agree Kemet is the worse. I believe our feeders are just not strong enough to handle the thickness of the tape. It seems to need alot of force to move and to roll the tape through.

EIA-481-B Max tape thickness 1.1mm (not including bottom and top cover tapes which can be .1mm max each) Of course a 1.1mm thick piece of steel will be stiffer than a 1.1mm thick lasagna noodle (already cooked). Is the thickness the issue or is it t

We are also experiencing problems with this thick stiff paper tape. Our problem is the strength of the spring that supports the tape at its pick position. After a while it just pushes it down because the tape exit wants to bend the tape too sharply

Has anyone else been experiencing this lately? We have had a rash of boards that come in properly vacuum sealed. We store them in the hot room until we are ready to build, and we get bubbles under the solder mask. We've had 4 different jobs, all di
