Hello Fellow TechNetters, I am in the process of formulating requirements for SM packaging of components for presentation on automatic insertion/placement equipment. I have tried a couple of web sites to find publications on this and the only ones I have found so far is the IPC-481 series which addresses Carrier Taping. Specifically right now I need requirements for tray packaging of QFP's, however I am open to any and all suggestions for SM components. (Do it all now, why wait for the rush? Right!?) Any help or directions on this would be greatly appreciated.
