Reels

The sealed carrier tape containing the DFN is reeled on 7-inch reels (see Figure 10 and

Table 4 for reel mechanical dimensions). These reels are compliant with EIA-481-C

standard. In particular, they are made of an antistatic polystyrene material. The reel color

may vary depending on supplier.

Dice quantity per reel is 2500. A reel may contain devices coming from 2 different wafer lots.

The reels have a minimum leader of 600 mm and a minimum trailer of 160 mm (in

compliance with EIA-481-C and IEC 60286-3 standards). The leader makes up a portion of

carrier tape with empty cavities and sealed by cover tape at the beginning of the reel

(external side). It is affixed to the last turn of the carrier tape by using adhesive tape. The

trailer is located at the end of the reel and consists of empty sealed cavities.
