Method and apparatus for maintaining wire lead protection of components on a storage reel.

摘要

A flexible innerlayer tape (20) having a corrugated portion (21) in which the corrugation runs along the length on the tape (20). The innerlayer tape (20) is wound onto a storage reel with radially leaded electrical components (40) so as to provide separation between the wound layers of components (40), support for the leads (42) and protection against a change in the lead wire orientation while on the storage reel.
