Overview

EN 60286-3-1:2009 (identical to IEC 60286-3-1:2009) specifies requirements for packaging of surface-mount components on continuous tapes - Type V: pressed carrier tapes. The standard covers carrier tapes with concave cavities formed by compressing the base material and is intended for SMT components size 1608 and smaller. It is part of the IEC 60286 series on packaging of components for automatic handling and is to be used together with EN/IEC 60286-3.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope & definitions: Defines a pressed carrier tape (concave cavities created by compression) and related terms such as fluff, burr, deformation, and puff.
• Tape geometry: Specifies tape and pocket dimensions, positioning tolerances and cumulative pitch requirements (examples given for 8 mm tape). Maximum pocket offset is 0.05 mm.
• Component retention and movement limits:
  • Maximum tilt and planar rotation: 20°.
  • Maximum lateral movement: 0.3 mm (reduced to 0.20 mm for 1005M, and 0.12 mm for 0603M components).
  • For components ≤ 1005M, puff (difference in tape thickness) limited to 0.05 mm max.
• Mechanical handling constraints:
  • Minimum bending radius of carrier tape: 25 mm.
• Measurement methods:
  • Carrier tape thickness measurements use an external micrometer with measuring pressure ≤ 1.5 N.
  • Illustrative figures and tables define cross-sections, cavity depth, and dimensional tolerances.
• Packing, marking and additional tape requirements: Alignment with EN/IEC 60286-3 clauses on fixing, cover tape, packing and marking is mandatory.

Practical applications and who uses it

• Primary use: Standardizes tape-and-reel packaging to ensure reliable feeding in automatic component placement (SMT pick-and-place) machines.
• Who benefits:
  • Component manufacturers and tape suppliers (designing Type V pressed tapes)
  • EMS (electronics manufacturing services) and PCB assembly lines (SMT manufacturers)
  • Test houses and component distribution/warehousing (handling, storage, shipping)
  • Quality, procurement and design engineers specifying packaging requirements
• Why it matters: Ensures dimensional compatibility, controlled component orientation, reduced pick-and-place errors, and repeatable automated handling.

Related standards

• EN/IEC 60286-3 (Part 3): Packaging of surface mount components on continuous tapes - required companion standard.
• Other parts of the IEC 60286 series cover alternative tape and magazine types and broader packaging practices.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and
non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates
closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined
by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents
