JEDEC Standard ESD Safe Matrix Trays For Automated IC Handling

Product Description:

Features:

JEDEC trays incorporate numerous engineering features optimized for high-volume automation and component safety. The foremost benefit is the Industry Standard recognition; instant access to global equipment and accessories is guaranteed, which significantly de-risks equipment design, accelerates development time, and lowers overall cost. Critical design elements facilitate seamless automation. The tray's center area features flat cells specifically contoured for automated handling via vacuum pick-up tools, ensuring reliable component transfer. For mechanical alignment, a distinct scalloped feature (scalloped feature) is sculpted into one side, allowing the use of a locating pin to mechanically fix the correct orientation during use. A crucial visual aid is the 45-degree chamfer located in one corner, which provides an unambiguous visual indicator for the Pin 1 orientation of the components within the matrix.

Applications:

1. Automated Test and Assembly: Their most intensive use is in automated test and assembly processes. The components, ranging from through-hole (PGA, DIP) to surface mount (QFP, BGA) and leadless devices (LGA, QFN), are presented to pick-and-place machines in a precise, machine-readable matrix format.

2. Global Transport and Secure Storage: Parts loaded into stacked JEDEC trays offer an easy, efficient, and highly protective solution for storage and global logistics. The stacking feature inherently allows each successive tray to act as a protective cover for the one beneath it.

3. Process Compatibility: Trays function as carriers for components through various manufacturing steps, which can include high-temperature processes like baking (depending on material, such as mid-temp trays up to 140°C) or cleaning processes.

4. Component Compatibility: Besides traditional ICs (like QFP, BGA, TSOP, PGA etc.), JEDEC trays are also used for non-traditional electronic components including connectors, PCBs, MEMS, lenses, watch parts, and even synthetic stones, leveraging the standardized automation equipment.
