Hello experts,

We have hard time with a tantalum capacitor challenging our 12mm feeder. Pocket seems to small for the part and parts are getting stuck and cannot be picked. In my opinion this part should use 16mm on 12mm pitch rather than 12mm tape with 8mm pitch. It is the first time in my carer to have pick issues with tantalum cap. If you have any standard or criteria about maximum component size for certain tape size, please share. We use ASM SX equipment and part is 7361 package

Hi, In general Tantalum D & E case packages prefers 12mm Reel with sufficient height. Make sure that no external force has been applied to the reel ( where it causes pocket deformation) thus leads to prevent smooth component release. Slowdown the nozzle pick up & use maximum wider nozzle to pick up the component for time being.
