IEC 60286-4:2013

Packaging of components for automatic handling - Part 4: Stick magazines for electronic components encapsulated in packages of different forms

IEC 60286-4:2013 is applicable to stick magazines (including end stoppers) intended to be used for storage of electronic components, for transport from the manufacturer to the customer and for in-house use in the manufacturing plant. They are also used to feed automatic placement machines for surface mounting as well as for through-hole mounting of electronic components. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: Clause 4 describes the guidelines for customer specific stick magazine design. It replaces the magazine design rules for IEC outlined components and rules for orientation of components in stick magazines which have been moved to Annexes A to D.

Emballage des composants pour opérations automatisées - Partie 4: Magasins chargeurs pour composants électroniques encapsulés dans des boîtiers de différentes formes

La CEI 60286-4:2013 est applicable aux magasins chargeurs (y compris aux bouchons d'extrémités) destinés au stockage des composants électroniques pour le transport entre le fabricant et le client, et pour l'utilisation interne dans l'installation de fabrication. Ils sont aussi utilisés pour l'alimentation des machines de placement automatique pour le montage en surface ainsi que pour le montage par trous traversants des composants électroniques. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: L'Article 4 décrit les lignes directrices pour la conception de magasins chargeurs sur mesure. Il remplace les règles de conception des magasins pour les composants décrits par la CEI et les règles d'orientation des composants dans les magasins chargeurs qui ont été déplacées dans les Annexes A à D.

Part 4: Stick magazines for electronic components encapsulated

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.
International Standard IEC 60286-4 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 40:
Capacitors and resistors for electronic equipment.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 1997 and constitutes a
technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
– Clause 4 describes the guidelines for customer specific stick magazine design. It replaces
the magazine design rules for IEC outlined components and rules for orientation of
components in stick magazines which have been moved to Annexes A to D.
