Carrier tape, package tape and series of electronic components

摘要

A series of electronic components formed using a carrier tape. The carrier tape is adapted to enable smoothly picking up even small-sized electronic components with a suction nozzle. The carrier tape has housing holes housing electronic components therein. The housing holes are arranged in the longitudinal direction. A top tape and a bottom tape are attached to the upper and lower surfaces of the carrier tape. Interval portions between the housing holes are provided with concave slots in their lower surfaces, thereby forming air flow paths. The air flow paths form air passages which enable smoothly picking up the small-sized electronic components using a suction nozzle.

主权项

1. A carrier tape comprising
a layer of cardboard, and a plurality of housing holes for housing electronic components with a planar dimension of 0.6 mm×0.3 mm or less inside thereof such that the housing holes are arranged in a longitudinal direction and penetrate the layer of cardboard in a thickness direction, a top tape attached to an upper surface of the layer of cardboard and a bottom tape attached to a lower surface of the layer of cardboard, interval portions between the housing holes adjacent to each other are provided, in the lower surface, with a concave slot connecting the housing holes adjacent to each other, wherein the concave slot has a bottom surface having a cross-sectional shape entirely recessed from opposite ends of the housing holes as starting points, when viewed in a direction of arrangement of the housing holes.
