AN0007 Stack Chip Components Handling and Usage

From Syfer Technology Limited
 

 
A selected number of components are available 'Tape and Reel' packed. The storage and handling of these components is as for normal chip capacitors. Unless supplied 'Tape and Reel' packed, all stack chip components will be supplied packed in a protective foam environment in individual cells, to prevent damage by contact during transportation. It is recommended that the components are stored in the original packing until used. If stored in the original packing, the components should be able to withstand all reasonable handling associated with transportation. When removing components from the packaging, care must be taken to prevent damage to the legs due to snagging. The recommended method of removal is: Carefully remove the foam packing pieces individually from the box. When the loaded packing piece is on the bench, gently push each component from the packing piece onto the bench. Do not allow the components to drop. It is preferable to place empty packing pieces on the bench, so as to protect units as they are removed.
