PACKAGING OF COMPONENTS FOR AUTOMATIC HANDLING –

FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is
entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may
participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two
organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60286-4 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 40:
Capacitors and resistors for electronic equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1991 and constitutes a
technical revision.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
40/920/FDIS 40/1044/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.

PACKAGING OF COMPONENTS FOR AUTOMATIC HANDLING –
Part 4: Stick magazines for electronic components encapsulated
in packages of form E and G
1 General
1.1 Scope
Stick magazines (including end stoppers) are intended to be used for storage of electronic
components, for transport from the manufacturer to the customer and for in-house use in the
manufacturing plant. They are also used to feed automatic placement machines for surface
mounting as well as for through-hole mounting of electronic components.
1.2 Normative references
The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text,
constitute provisions of this part of IEC 60286. At the time of publication, the editions indicated
were valid. All normative documents are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based
on this part of IEC 60286 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most
recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. Members of IEC and ISO maintain
registers of currently valid International Standards
IEC 60191-2:1966, Mechanical standardization of semiconductor devices – Part 2: Dimensions
IEC 60191-3F:1994, Mechanical standardization of semiconductor devices – Part 3: General
rules for the preparation of outline drawings of integrated circuits
IEC 60747-1:1983, Semiconductor devices – Discrete devices – Part 1: General
ISO 11469:1993, Plastics – Generic identification and marking of plastic products
2 Terminology
2.1 Stick magazines
An elongated container which has an appropriate cross-section designed to accommodate
devices. Alternative terms such as tubes, rails and magazines may be used.
2.2 End stoppers
Mechanism placed at each end of the stick magazine to keep the devices from falling out of the
stick magazine. Alternative terms such as pins, plugs, end plugs, nails, retainers etc. may be
used. For the purpose of this standard the term "end stopper" shall be used.
