I would be glad to help you eliminate the solder balling and beading that you are seeing. As this is a fairly common defect, I would like to forward you an Application Note that we have developed that explains the cause and possible solutions. Most

Does anyone else encounter problems using feeders to handle caps that are reeled up with paper tape. We are having alot of problems with vendors that are now using the thicker type (like cardboard) to use to reel up caps. Our feeders either run too

5v or 12v feeders.....and are you sure the parts fit through the feeders and are not getting jammed. On some of the old feeders you had to remove the springs and other parts to make the tall caps work.... chow

Is anyone aware of the spec for tape if any?
Electronics Forum | Thu Oct 27 13:22:39 EDT 2005 | russ
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.

Thanks Rob, Our tape does meet the Kemet spec but I am actually wondering if there is an EIA spec or something to compare to.
