Overview - IEC 60286-2:2008 (Packaging of components for automatic handling)

IEC 60286-2:2008 specifies requirements for the packaging of electronic components that have two or more unidirectional leads when supplied on continuous tapes for automatic handling. This third edition (2008) replaces earlier editions and focuses on taping techniques where the tape is normally applied to the component leads. The standard addresses only those dimensions and performance requirements that are essential to reliable automatic feeding, insertion and other automated operations.

Key topics and technical requirements

The standard covers practical, machine-relevant specifications including:

• Tape geometry and coordinate system - reference planes, tape width and pitch, and sprocket-hole positioning to ensure consistent indexing during unreeling.
• Component-to-tape dimensions - lead spacing, lead diameter, permissible protrusion and maximum deviations needed for reliable handling and insertion.
• Taping variants - treatment of two‑lead and three‑lead components, straight or formed leads, and cases with short terminals not held by cover tape.
• Taping details - cover/carrier tape interaction, splices, leader and trailer lengths, and how components are secured to the tape for feeding.
• Performance tests - pull strength from taping, peel strength of cover tape, tape break force, acceptable kinks/bends and storage handling.
• Packing and delivery formats - reel dimensions, fan‑fold containers, reel filling, component protection, marking and recycling considerations.
• Tolerances and tables/figures - normative and informative annexes provide dimensional tables and drawings for common lead configurations and sprocket-hole placement.

Practical applications and who uses this standard

IEC 60286-2 is used by:

• Component manufacturers specifying how resistors, capacitors and other leaded parts should be taped for automated assembly.
• Electronics manufacturers and contract assemblers who need reliable inbound taped components for through‑hole or mixed assembly lines.
• Packaging and test engineers designing carrier tapes, reels and automated feeders.
• Equipment manufacturers (tape-and-reel machines, insertion machines, feeders) that require consistent dimensions and performance criteria. Practical benefits include improved feed reliability, reduced jams and misfeeds, standardized reel interchangeability, and smoother automated insertion and preforming operations.

Related standards

Relevant normative references cited in the standard include:

• IEC 60097 (grid systems for printed circuits)
• IEC 60301 (preferred diameters of wire terminations)
• IEC 60717 (space required by components with unidirectional terminations)
• ISO 11469 (plastics identification and marking)

By standardizing tape geometry, tolerances and performance tests, IEC 60286-2 helps ensure compatibility between taped components, feeders and automated assembly equipment - reducing downtime and increasing yield in electronic manufacturing.

Seating plane
The method for determining the seating plane is given in IEC 60717.
– For components with straight leads: The bottom of the component body, including any
projections which support the component on the printed board (line in parallel to the
reference abscissa through the bottom point nearest to the tape).
– For components with crimped (or otherwise preformed) leads: The seating plane depends
on the profile of the crimp, the diameter of the leads and the hole size in the printed board.
For this reason a reference plane is defined, for components with crimped leads only, as
follows.
Reference plane
The line parallel to the abscissa through the lowest centre of the radius of curvature of the
bending of the crimp (see Figure 5).

PACKAGING OF COMPONENTS FOR AUTOMATIC HANDLING –

Part 2: Packaging of components with unidirectional
leads on continuous tapes
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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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 including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

Seating plane
The method for determining the seating plane is given in IEC 60717.
– For components with straight leads: The bottom of the component body, including any
projections which support the component on the printed board (line in parallel to the
reference abscissa through the bottom point nearest to the tape).
– For components with crimped (or otherwise preformed) leads: The seating plane depends
on the profile of the crimp, the diameter of the leads and the hole size in the printed board.
For this reason a reference plane is defined, for components with crimped leads only, as
follows.
Reference plane
The line parallel to the abscissa through the lowest centre of the radius of curvature of the
bending of the crimp (see Figure 5).

The break force of the tape shall be 15 N or more.
5.5 Material of tape
The tapes shall be suitable to withstand storage of the taped components. The tape material
shall not migrate along the leads or give off vapour that may affect solderability or deteriorate
the mechanical and electrical characteristics of component or leads by chemical reaction (for
example, corrosion).
In addition, the hold-down tape shall not become detached so that the components do not
remain in position after storage, and the carrier tape material shall not age and therefore lose
strength in such a way that it breaks on unreeling when the taped components are fed from
the package by hand into the assembly machines.
Tapes in adjacent layers shall not stick together in the packaging because of exposed
adhesive, for instance.
The sprocket holes shall be free from burrs and traces of adhesive from the hold-down tape.
5.6 Hold-down tape
