Does anyone have one of these machines laying around that can be parted out ? I am looking for the rods that the edge chain sprockets ride on. (loading side)

Hi folks, I'm looking your opinion on the quality of this component. It is an 0603 inductor made by EPCOS, B824496C. We are finding that it has a tendency to partially tombstone. I was thinking that the coating extending out on to the terminations c

Even though we can't comment on that specific part, you're correct. If the solderability protection on the terminations is not symetrical, it could result in tombstoning. We used to see this alot in smaller components, where the plating did not compl

Does anyone know of an after market source for the E-clips that hold the tape covers on CP and IP feeders. I am sure I can dig something up I just figured I'd ask ya'all first. Fuji PN: S1021A

I found them. McMaster PN : 98543A103 That is for the black phosphate finished ones. You can get them in different finishes if you want.

That was something sitting in the back of my minD. Thanks for the part number. Now I have to ask, does anyone have an aftermarket place for operators that treat the feeders well? I am in need of a few of them
