Check the pick postion in the feeder. If the nozzle is picking at the edge of the component, it could flip it. BTW what kind of machine are you using? Stephen Olan

When we see the upside down part problem its typically feeder related....either the feeder is making the part jump or the z is taught tooooooo deep causing the part to jump before its in its pick location. chow

Hi, Your not using vibration feeder here are you? I have seen this a lot with vibration stick feeders. Regards, Grant

Most likely a feeder that has a rough advance. This can cause the part to flip in the tape before the nozzle gets it. Jerry

Crishan, You must be seeing an incredible amount of Attrition on this component if this is the case. You should most definitely be able to put in a Pick-up offset either at the machine or in the part data. aj

Regarding the issue of using a pick-up offset: I really can't see any benefit to this if the pockets in the tape are too large, since this means that you cannot be sure that the components always end up in the same position when the feeder indexes.

Is it possible to advance the feeder at shorter intervals? So every time the part is picked the feeder moves 2 times shorter movements instead of one long move? Just a thought.

For these type of connectors proper underside board heating, a customized nozzle and careful past printing are the keys to reworking properly. Pls contact BEST Inc at http://www.solder.net offline if you need someone to look at these for you. Regar

That Fuji won't sell the reel by itself is difficult to believe. Is there a part number assigned to the reel? If so...they will sell it.

Why not check the parts lists for both the 8x2 & the 8x4 feeders ?. This should tell you for sure.
