Chip-like electronic component series

摘要

A chip-like electronic component series retains a plurality of chip-like electronic components (2) distributed along a longitudinal direction of a tape (1). The tape (1) is formed with a plurality of cavities (5) distributed in its longitudinal direction, so that the chip-like electronic components are received in respective ones of the cavities. In order to retain the chip-like electronic components in the cavities, the cavities are covered by a cover sheet (3). Each of the cavities comprises a relatively flat receiving portion (7) having a bottom surface (6) extending along the longitudinal direction of the tape and a projecting receiving portion (8) projecting from a part of the bottom surface of the flat receiving portion. With such configuration, the cavities can retain at least two types of chip-like electronic components of different geometry or retain the chip-like electronic components at least in two types of conditions.
