What happened to the 0.90mm tolerance for 16mm carrier tapes?
We have removed our .90mm tolerance button in order to comply with new EIA Standards. Please select .50mm for parts that go into 16mm wide carriers.
Are you Web-enabled for E-commerce?
Yes, You can order materials from Reelpak, and from REEL.biz.
I cannot easily determine orientation on one of my components. What can I do?
"If you follow EIA-481B-2001 Section 4.14 in sequential order, you cannot orient a part in the carrier tape incorrectly."
What is OX3 doing to improve its service offering?
OX3's new KAIZEN program rewards our employees for suggesting process improvements.
What are other customers saying about OX3's service value?
Avnet Electronics (worldwide) recently graded OX3 at 100% on quality!
Recently, one of our customers called to say that he uses our ABK search to find Width and Pitch when creating his machine-placement programs for surface-mount pick and place equipment.
OX3 was recently audited and renewed under ISO-9001-2000.

Do you want your company's devices to show up on our ""Manufacturers"" page? We can cross-reference our tapes, trays, tubes and services to your part numbers.
How long have you been in business?
The Widmayers have been running OX3 since 1972, making it the oldest family-owned semiconductor handling business in the U.S.!
Do you have any helpful hints to make taping easier for me to understand?
What are your hours of operation?

What's going on in the industry and with taping standards?
The new EIA standard 481-B-2001 has been approved by the Automated Component Handling Committee, (ACH).
Four carrier tape sources have discontinued their operations this year due to the downturn in our economy. There are now 8 principal sources and each one is represented in our stockroom here at OX3.
It's expensive to hire someone for in-house taping, and to keep so many carrier tapes in stock.
It makes sense in today's slowing economy to outsource to OX3 in order to save manufacturing costs.
We maintain the largest selection of in-stock carrier tapes in the world.
OX3 is 99% on-time with deliveries and its service is guaranteed. Does your current taping supplier guarantee its deliveries to you?

No! We use the latest automated taping systems at OX3 that are guaranteed to improve inspection of the coplanarity on your devices.

Can you ask your supplier to drop-ship the parts to us when filling your purchase order?

Do you have any helpful hints to make taping easier for me to understand?
- Did you know that 1,000 divided by the pitch gives you the number of parts per meter of tape?
- Where Pitch is an odd multiple of 4, its midpoint will always line up with a sprocket hole. Do you know why this is important? Ask for our Technical Sheet #604.
- You can determine Width, Pitch, Component Type and Carrier from are Glossary Page.
- Don't forget! Once you've narrowed down your search by A, B and K make sure the rotation angle of the part in the pocket does not exceed 20 degrees.
- With carrier tapes the critical dimensions are often ""F"" and ""P2"". If these are off it can adversely affect component placement.
- The Electronics Industry does not allow tapes to be spliced, however to make smaller reels out of one larger one, you can peel back a foot of cover tape, dump out the parts, and reseal. Don't do this for resale !!
