Packaging Description:
SOT-23 parts are shipped in tape. The carrier tape is
made from a dissipative (carbon filled) polycarbonate
resin. The cover tape is a multilayer film (Heat Activated
Adhesive in nature) primarily composed of polyester film,
adhesive layer, sealant, and anti-static sprayed agent.
These reeled parts in standard option are shipped with
3,000 units per 7" or 177cm diameter reel. The reels are
dark blue in color and is made of polystyrene plastic (antistatic coated). Other option comes in 10,000 units per 13"
or 330cm diameter reel. This and some other options are
described in the Packaging Information table.
