General Information
Overview
EN IEC 61249-2-51:2023 (CLC) - Materials for printed boards and other interconnecting structures - Part 2-51 - specifies requirements for base materials for integrated circuit (IC) card carrier tape, unclad. The standard covers construction, constituent materials, property requirements, quality assurance, packaging, marking and storage for IC carrier tape base materials. Typical construction described is a glue-coated sheet with a woven E‑glass reinforced epoxy underlayer on one side and an adhesive layer protected by release film on the other.
Key topics and technical requirements
This standard defines technical requirements and test-related topics without prescribing manufacturing techniques. Major areas include:
- Construction and materials: permitted lay-up (E‑glass/epoxy underlayer, adhesive, release film) and material descriptions.
- Electrical properties: required electrical performance and referenced test methods for interconnection applications.
- Non-electrical properties: visual appearance (delamination, particles, scratches, bubbles, fibre exposure), dimensional tolerances (length, width, underlayer and adhesive thickness), and splice criteria.
- Mechanical and thermal properties: tensile strength, elongation at break, glass transition temperature (Tg) of the underlayer, water absorption, peel strength and resin flow behavior.
- Surface properties: surface roughness, gloss and surface energy relevant to adhesion and handling.
- Quality assurance: qualification and conformance inspection programs, sampling positions, inspection frequency, certificate of conformance and safety data sheet requirements.
- Packaging, marking and storage: packing methods, labelling, storage conditions and shelf life to preserve material integrity.
Referenced test and normative documents include IEC 61189-2 and other international standards for materials and test methods.
Applications and who uses it
EN IEC 61249-2-51:2023 is intended for organizations involved in:
- Manufacture of IC carrier tapes and base material suppliers.
- PCB and electronic assembly manufacturers that use carrier tape for integrated circuit packaging and automated pick-and-place.
- Quality, procurement and compliance teams specifying material acceptance criteria.
- Test laboratories performing electrical, mechanical and environmental characterization.
The standard helps ensure consistent material performance for automated assembly, reliable tape handling, adhesion and long-term storage - critical in electronics manufacturing and component packaging.

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 IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
