After passing the quality inspection of perceptive, electronic components need to be properly packaged for transportation and storage to prevent product damage and loss.
More than the minimum packaging quantity of electronic components are usually packaged in accordance with the original manufacturer's packaging.
Less than the minimum package quantity, generally have the following five electronic components packaging form: Tape, Tube, Tray, Bulk and AMMO.
1. Tape/ Reel Packaging
Taping is the process of encapsulating electronic components into individual pockets of a carrier tape. These units are sealed with heat or pressure cover tape. The carrier tape is wound on industry standard reels for loading onto component placement equipment. Generally chip resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, crystals, small ICs, etc. can be wrapped in tape and reel.
2. Tube Packaging
Tube packaging is mainly used for rectangular chip resistors, capacitors, and some shaped, small device packaging, mainly used for SMT electronic components of many varieties, small batch occasions. Packaging, the components are arranged in the same direction, one at a time into the plastic tube.
3. Tray Packing
Tray packing is to use a rectangular partition to divide the tray into equal parts according to the specified cavity, and then put the components into the tray one by one, generally 50 per tray, covered with protective film after installation. Vacuum forming trays are available in single, three, ten, twelve and twenty-four layers with automatic feeding tray feeders.
4. Bulk Packaging
Bulk packaging refers to the free packaging of SMD components in molded plastic boxes or bags. When installing, the plastic box is inserted into the shelf, and the components are fed one by one into the feed opening of the mounter with a feeder or feed tube. One. This type of packaging is low cost and small in size, but it is less applicable and mostly used for cylindrical resistors.
5. AMMO Packaging
AMMO packages are tapes that are cut continuously in predetermined quantities. However, the cut strips are placed in their manufacturer's own box for safekeeping.
Why choose vacuum sealing for electronics?
Vacuum sealing electronics offers a variety of benefits such as protection against water, dust, moisture, oxidation, corrosion and even UV or RF contamination.
There are several reasons to choose vacuum packaging for electronic components.
1. ESD Protection - Vacuum sealers manufactured with anti-static materials are chosen so that ESD sensitive components, assemblies and PCBs can be vacuum packed in an electrostatically safe environment.
2. Product Integrity - Vacuum sealing protects against dust, damage, UV and RF contamination, electrostatic discharge, moisture oxidation and corrosion.
3. Moisture Resistance - Vacuum sealing prevents condensation during storage and accidental spills during handling.
4. Buffering Options - You can control the suction rate and final vacuum strength to well below 100%, which can damage implanted components. You may also consider injecting air to provide a cushion.
How are electronic components encapsulated?
1. Select the Right Box for Your Electronics
Size is important because when the box is too large, the product inside may move around and eventually get damaged, and when the box is too small, the electronics may sit on the side of the box and eventually get crushed.
2. Use Protective Electronic Component Packaging
A thick layer of anti-static bubble wrap is one of the safest options, make sure all edges are covered to prevent the box from shattering or puncturing.
3. Seal Your Electronics Packaging Securely
Use packing tape to seal all seams and even all sides of the box. The corners of cardboard boxes are the most fragile, so to make sure they arrive intact, use multiple layers of tape on the corners.
4. Label Electronics
Add labels such as "fragile" and "handle with care" to your packages to make sure the courier knows how to handle them. Place labels in a plastic bag to prevent them from peeling off in bad weather conditions.
By now you should have a better understanding of what we do before we ship.
