Data Sheet

Tape and Reel

VC7916-62 carrier tape basic dimensions are based on EIA 481. The pocket is designed to hold the part for shipping and

loading onto SMT manufacturing equipment, while protecting the body and the solder terminals from damaging stresses.

Prior to shipping, moisture sensitive parts (MSL level 2a-5a) are baked and placed into the pockets of the carrier tape. A cover

tape is sealed over the top of the entire length of the carrier tape. The reel is sealed in a moisture barrier ESD bag with the

appropriate units of desiccant and a humidity indicator card, which is placed in a cardboard shipping box. It is important to note

that unused moisture sensitive parts need to be resealed in the moisture barrier bag. If the reels exceed the exposure limit and

need to be rebaked, most carrier tape and shipping reels are not rated as bakeable at 125°C.
