Folks, I do not have a copy of this EIA 481-2 standard, but can anyone tell me if this spec contains information in relation to STANDARD quantities per reel. i.e: If I order a reel of 44 pin QFP's from a supplier who adheres to EIA 481-2, does this require them to put a particular amount of components on the reel, or is this up to the individual supplier/customer?
