interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

4.2 Taping
4.2.1 General
The following requirements for axial components shall be met as appropriate (see Figure 1).

– 8 – IEC 60286-1:2017 © IEC 2017
4.2.2 Orientation of polarized components
All polarized components shall be oriented in one direction; the polarized components shall be
clearly identified by use of different colours or marked tapes, the anode being of a white or
neutral colour.
4.2.3 Position, kinks and bends of the leads
The position, kinks and bends of the leads are as follows.
a) The leads shall be free from kinks and bends.
b) The method used to position the component leads on the tape shall be such that the leads
are not nicked or otherwise damaged.
c) Leads shall not be bent beyond 1,0 mm (for B = 26 mm) or 1,2 mm (for B > 26 mm) from
their nominal position when measured from the leading edge of the component lead at the
inside tape edge and at the lead egress from the component (see dimension M in
Figure 1).
4.2.4 The ends of the leads
The ends of the leads shall not protrude beyond the tapes.
4.2.5 Holding in the tape
The components shall be held sufficiently in the tape(s) so that they cannot come free during
normal handling.
4.2.6 Requirements of tape material, storage, and handling
The tapes shall be suitable to withstand storage of the taped components. The tape material
shall not migrate along the leads or give off vapours that can affect solderability or deteriorate
the component properties or leads by chemical action (e.g. corrosion).
In addition, the tapes shall not become detached, thereby causing the components to lose
their relative position after storage, and the tape shall not age to such an extent that its
strength is reduced, causing it to break either when the components are unreeled manually or
by an assembly machine.
Tapes in adjacent layers shall not stick together in the packing, because of the exposed
adhesive for instance.
4.2.7 Splices of tape
Splices shall be at least as strong as the original tape and shall not be thicker than four times
the thickness of a single layer of the original tape. Splices shall not be misaligned by more
than 0,8 mm. When splicing is applied, component spacing A shall remain within the
tolerances as specified in Table 2.
4.2.8 Leader tape
A twin leader tape, free of components, having a minimum length of 200 mm shall be provided
at the beginning and at the end of the tape.
5 Packing
5.1 General
The tapes of components may either be wound on reels or fan-folded.

5.2 Dimensions of the reel
The preferred reel dimensions are shown in Figure 2.

Key
1 is the optional shape: circular or square.
2 is the optional shape: circular or polygonal.
A is the reel diameter: maximum 400 mm.
C is the arbor hole diameter: 14 mm to 38 mm.
N is the hub diameter: 34,9 mm to 102 mm.
Figure 2 – Reel dimensions
5.3 Distances W and W
1 2
The distances W and W shall be governed by the overall width of the taped components W
1 2
(see Figure 1) and shall allow proper reeling and unreeling.
5.4 Recycling
Reels as defined in Figure 2 should be made of recyclable material. When such material is
used, the reel shall be permanently marked with the recycling symbol.
ISO 11469 should be used for making the material.
5.5 Protection of components
In order to prevent component damage and lead distortion, protection between layers of
components and over the last layer may be necessary. In this case, protection materials shall
not cause deterioration of the component or of lead solderability.
5.6 Reel filling
The total number of components on the reel shall be such that the components and the final
cover shall not extend beyond the smallest dimension of the flange in the radial direction.

4.2 Taping
4.2.1 General
The following requirements for axial components shall be met as appropriate (see Figure 1).
4.2.2 Orientation of polarized components
All polarized components shall be oriented in one direction; the polarized components shall be
clearly identified by use of different colours or marked tapes, the anode being of a white or
neutral colour.
4.2.3 Position, kinks and bends of the leads
The position, kinks and bends of the leads are as follows.
a) The leads shall be free from kinks and bends.
b) The method used to position the component leads on the tape shall be such that the leads
are not nicked or otherwise damaged.
c) Leads shall not be bent beyond 1,0 mm (for B = 26 mm) or 1,2 mm (for B > 26 mm) from
their nominal position when measured from the leading edge of the component lead at the
inside tape edge and at the lead egress from the component (see dimension M in
Figure 1).
4.2.4 The ends of the leads Lead protrusion
The ends of the leads shall not protrude beyond the tapes.
4.2.5 Holding in the tape
The components shall be held sufficiently in the tape(s) so that they cannot come free during
normal handling.
4.2.6 Requirements of tape material, storage, and handling
The tapes shall be suitable to withstand storage of the taped components. The tape material
shall not migrate along the leads or give off vapours that can affect solderability or deteriorate
the component properties or leads by chemical action (e.g. corrosion).

– 10 – IEC 60286-1:2017+AMD1:2021 CSV
© IEC 2021
In addition, the tapes shall not become detached, thereby causing the components to lose
their relative position after storage, and the tape shall not age to such an extent that its
strength is reduced, causing it to break either when the components are unreeled manually or
by an assembly machine.
Tapes in adjacent layers shall not stick together in the packing, because of the exposed
adhesive for instance.
4.2.7 Splices of tape
Splices shall be at least as strong as the original tape and shall not be thicker than four times
the thickness of a single layer of the original tape. Splices shall not be misaligned by more
than 0,8 mm. When splicing is applied, component spacing A shall remain within the
tolerances as specified in Table 2.
4.2.8 Leader tape
A twin leader tape, free of components, having a minimum length of 200 mm shall be provided
at the beginning and at the end of the tape.
Unless otherwise specified by agreement between the manufacturer and the customer, reel
package should have leader tapes without components for at least 200 mm at leader part and
trailer part. The leader tapes shall not be required for fan-fold package. Depending on the
customer’s request, fan-fold package may have leader tapes without components for at least
200 mm at leader part and trailer part.
