The term "" (jio pn) in a technical context often refers to a reel or spool used for packaging and dispensing components, particularly in electronics manufacturing. These are commonly used for surface-mount devices (SMDs) like resistors, capacitors, and integrated circuits.
are designed to hold electronic components in a standardized format, protecting them from damage and contamination. They facilitate automated component placement machines (pick-and-place machines) by providing a consistent and easily accessible supply of parts. The components are typically housed in pockets within a carrier tape, which is then wound onto the reel.
Primarily used in the electronics manufacturing industry for:
| Reel Diameter (inch) | Reel Width (mm) | Material Type | Component Size Compatibility (mm) | Anti-Static Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 8 | PS (Polystyrene) | Up to 2x2 | Yes |
| 7 | 12 | PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) | Up to 4x4 | Yes |
| 13 | 16 | PP (Polypropylene) | Up to 8x6 | Yes |
| 13 | 24 | Metal | Up to 12x10 | N/A |
| 13 | 32 | PS (Polystyrene) | Up to 16x14 | Yes |
| 13 | 44 | PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) | Up to 24x18 | Yes |
| 13 | 56 | PP (Polypropylene) | Up to 32x24 | Yes |
| 13 | 72 | Metal | Up to 44x36 | N/A |
