TGIF (happy hour)... But anyway, how do you ensure that chip components packaged on tape-and-reel are using the proper pocket size? We've been receiving components that are packaged on tape with a rather large pocket, resulting in problems at the pick-n-place machine. Is there a cross-reference standard? Do you inspect for pocket size at incoming? Thanks in advance... Jim Marsico AIL Systems Inc.
