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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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 IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

PACKAGING OF COMPONENTS FOR AUTOMATIC HANDLING –

Part 3-1: Packaging of surface mount components on continuous tapes –
Type V – Pressed carrier tapes

INTRODUCTION
Tape packaging meets the requirements of automatic component placement machines and
also covers the use of tape packing for components for test purposes and other operations.
This International Standard describes a carrier tape comprising concave cavities formed by
compression of bulk carrier material. This specification is for size 1608 and smaller.
1 General
1.1 Scope
This part of IEC 60286 is applicable to the taping of surface mount components using carrier
tapes which have concave cavities ed by compression of the base material.
1.2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition
of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

NOTE The nominal dimensions of the component compartment should be derived from the relevant component
specification. The tolerances on the nominal sizes of the compartment should be selected so that the components
cannot change their orientation within the tape and can be easily removed from the tape, with the following
characteristics.
There should be sufficient clearance surrounding the component so that
a) the component does not protrude above the top surface of the carrier tape,
b) the component can be removed from the cavity in a vertical direction without mechanical restriction after the top
cover tape has been removed,
c) the rotation of the component is limited to a 20° maximum tilt (see Figure 2, sketch A) and a 20° maximum planar
rotation (see Figure 3, sketch B),
d) the maximum lateral movement allowed is 0,3 mm except for 1005M sized components where the maximum should
be 0,20 mm and for 0603M sized components the maximum should be 0,12 mm (see Annex A).
For defined component positioning, the pocket positions should be defined to an origin point. This origin is the centre of
the index hole, defined by the crosshair of the dimensions E and P . The centre of the component compartment is
1 0
defined by P and F, relative to the sprocket hole, as shown in Figure 2 with tolerances given in the table above.
Preferred dimensions for components should be taken from the relevant IEC specifications.
Dimensions A ≤ B , unless otherwise specified in the component detail specification.
0 0
For components with size designation of 1005M or smaller, the puff (T – T) should be limited to 0,05 mm maximum.
If positioning precision is required, for example when components ≤ size 1005M are mounted in narrow space, then the
tolerance on D should be (+0,05 / 0,00) mm.
4 Polarity and orientation of components in the tape
Requirements shall be in accordance with IEC 60286-3, 4.1, 4.2.1 and 4.2.3.
5 Fixing of components and additional tape requirements
Requirements shall be in accordance with IEC 60286-3, 5.1, 5.2, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7 and 5.8
and the following.
5.1 Specific requirements for Type V tapes
5.1.1 Minimum bending radius
The minimum bending radius (R ) shall be 25 mm.
min
5.1.2 Measurement method for carrier tape thickness (T and T )
The equipment used to conduct these measurements shall be an external micrometer with a
measuring pressure of 1,5 N or smaller. The probe shall be made of super-hard material and
the diameter of the probe head shall be 2,0 mm.

The thickness of the carrier tape shall be measured with an accuracy of 0,001 mm. The
dimension of the thickness excluding the puff of the bottom of the cavity is T, when the flat
side is measured adjacent to the sprocket holes. The dimension of the thickness including the
puff on the bottom of the cavity is T .
Measurement shall be made at the points shown in Figure 5.

5.1.4 Measurement method for Cavity depth (dimension K
A non-contact measuring system should be used.
The cavity depth K is defined as the distance between the centre of the bottom of the cavity
and the carrier surface at the centre point between the sprocket hole and the cavity.
A measurement can be performed according to Figure 7.
