Overview
IEC 60286-1:2017/AMD1:2021 is an amendment to the international standard IEC 60286-1:2017 focused on the packaging of electronic components with axial leads using tape packaging on continuous tapes. Issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), this amendment refines and updates key aspects of tape packaging dimensions and handling requirements to ensure consistent quality and compatibility with automated assembly processes.
This standard plays a crucial role in defining the physical parameters, tape spacing, and packaging formats for axial lead components, facilitating efficient automatic handling and mounting in electronics manufacturing.
Key Topics
Tape Packaging Dimensions: The amendment includes updated dimensions and specifications such as
- Distance between adjacent components (A)
- Inner distance between two tapes (B)
- Component displacement allowances (K and M)
- Lead lengths and body length of the component (L values)
- Maximum tape width (Wmax), limited to 140 mm to ensure proper handling
Tape Spacing and Width: Specifies restrictions on tape spacing to optimize reel packaging and compatibility with automatic mounting machines.
Lead Protrusion: Specifies requirements for the protrusion of the component leads beyond tape boundaries to ensure secure packaging without damaging component leads.
Leader Tapes: Defines the inclusion of leader tapes without components, typically a minimum of 200 mm at both leader and trailer parts of reel packaging, to facilitate machine loading. Fan-fold packages may optionally include leader tapes as per customer specifications.
Fan-Fold Packaging: Details on outer dimensions and tape width for fan-fold arrangements used in some packaging scenarios.
Reeling and Unreeling Parameters: Updated guidance on tape widths and distances to allow smooth handling during reeling and unreeling operations in production lines.
Applications
IEC 60286-1:2017/AMD1:2021 is essential for manufacturers, suppliers, and users of electronic components with axial leads who require standardized packaging for automated assembly lines. Key applications include:
Automatic Component Placement: Ensures components are packaged to be compatible with pick-and-place machines and automatic handlers, improving production speed and efficiency.
Quality Control in Packaging: Standardization reduces risks of lead damage or component misalignment during transportation and storage.
Supply Chain Consistency: Enables manufacturers and distributors to maintain uniform packaging standards worldwide, simplifying logistics and reducing compatibility issues.
Industrial Electronics Manufacturing: Widely used in the assembly of capacitors, resistors, and other axial lead electronic parts within consumer electronics, industrial controls, automotive electronics, and communication equipment production.
Related Standards
This amendment complements and interacts with other IEC and international standards related to electronic components and packaging, including but not limited to:
IEC 60286 Series: Addresses packaging methods for various types of electronic components to support automated handling.
IEC 61175: Identification marking of components, often used in tandem for proper traceability.
ISO/IEC Directives: Governing the development and implementation of international standards including packaging protocols.
IEC 60068: Environmental testing standards ensuring packaging protects components under various environmental conditions.
Practical Value
Adopting IEC 60286-1:2017/AMD1:2021 helps organizations align with international best practices, enhancing operational efficiency, reducing component handling errors, and ensuring robust supply chain processes. It supports digital manufacturing advances by enabling reliable and repeatable tape packaging configurations critical to Industry 4.0 automated production lines.

AMENDMENT 1
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of 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, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). 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. 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 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 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.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
