	Packing Method
	Your choices are...
	Tape Reel		Components are packed in tape reel assemblies that include a carrier tape with embossed cavities for storing individual components. A cover tape seals the carrier tape in place. This composite tape is then wound on a reel that is placed in a corrugated shipping box for transport and delivery. Customers unpack the reels and load them into industry-standard, pick-and-place board assembly equipment. Tape and reel assemblies provide component isolation and are designed for surface mount packages such as quad flat package (QFP) and thin quad flat package (TQFP).  Typically, carrier tape is made from a polystyrene (PS) or PS-laminate film with a uniform film thickness between 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm. Carrier tape design is defined largely by component length, width, and thickness. Cover tape is made from a polyethylene teraphthalate (PET) film or film laminate with an adhesive applied to the underside of the film. This adhesive is usually heat and pressure sensitive to ensure a positive, consistent seal between the carrier tape and the cover tape. The reels that contain the composite tape are typically made of polystyrene and have one, two, or three parts. Reel dimensions meet EIA-481-1, EIA-481-2, and EIA-481-3 standards.
	Tray / Rail		Components are packed in trays (rails) that are made of carbon-powder or fiber materials and molded into rectangular outlines that contain matrices of uniformly spaced pockets. These containers protect components during shipping and provide proper component location and orientation for use with industry-standard, pick-and-place board assembly equipment. Trays are designed for components for that have leads on four sides and that require component lead isolation during shipping, handling, or processing. For example, quad flat package (QFP) and thin quad flat package (TQFP) components are often shipped in trays. To facilitate shipping and handling, trays are stacked and bound together in standard configurations. To provide rigidity, an empty cover tray is added to the top of the load. Typical stacking configurations consist of five full trays and one cover tray, and ten full trays and one cover tray. Customer requirements determine whether trays are shipped in single or multiple stacks.
	Bulk		Components are distributed as individual parts.
	Tube		Components are packed in shipping tubes or stick magazines that are made of rigid polyvinylchloride (PVC) and extruded in industry-standard sizes. These containers protect components during shipping and provide proper component location and orientation for use with industry-standard, pick-and-place board assembly equipment.  To facilitate shipping and handling, shipping tubes and stick magazines are usually loaded into intermediate containers such as boxes or bags to form standard quantities. Intermediate-level packing quantities for shipping tubes and stick magazines often vary by pin count and package type.
	Other		Other unlisted or proprietary packing method.
	Search Logic:		Products with the selected attribute will be returned as matches. Leaving or selecting "No Preference" will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
