6-7 Packing specifications ( Embossed carrier tape specifications )
This standard applies to the embossed carrier tape specifications for ICs supplied by SHARP CORPORATION.
SHARP’s embossed carrier tape specifications are generally based on those described in JIS C 0806 ( Japanese
Industrial Standard ) and EIA481A.
6-7-1 Tape structure
The embossed carrier tape is made of conductive plastic. The embossed portions of the carrier tape are filled with IC
packages and a top covering tape is used to enclose them.
6-7-2 Taping reel and embossed carrier tape size
For the taping reel and embossed carrier tape sizes, refer to the attached drawing.
6-7-3 IC package enclosure direction in embossed carrier tape
The IC package enclosure direction in the embossed portion relative to the direction in which the tape is pulled is
indicated by an index mark on the package ( indicating the No. 1 pin ) shown in the attached drawing.
6-7-4 Missing IC packages in embossed carrier tape
The number of missing IC packages in the embossed carrier tape per reel should not exceed either 1 or 0.1 % of the
total contained on the tape per reel, whichever is larger. There should never be more than two consecutive missing
IC packages.
6-7-5 Tape joints
There is no joint in an embossed carrier tape.
6-7-6 Peeling strength of the top covering tape
Peeling strength must meet the following conditions.
(1) Peeling angle : 165 ~ 180 °
(2) Peeling speed : 300 mm / min
(3) Peeling strength : 0.2 ~ 0.7 Ｎ ( 20 ~ 70 gf )

(1) The top covering tape ( leader side ) at the leading edge of the embossed carrier tape, and the trailing edge of the
embossed carrier tape, should both be held in place with paper adhesive tape at least 30 mm in length.
(2) The leading and trailing edges of the embossed carrier tape should be left empty ( with embossed portions not
filled with IC packages ) in the attached drawing.
(3) The number of IC packages enclosed in the embossed carrier tape per reel should generally comply with the list
given below.
