1.2. Transferring Devices Between Tubes

To prevent leads from bending on tube edges, follow these steps when transferring J-Lead devices and QFP devices in carriers from one tube to another:

  1. Use a metal or plastic sleeve to line up tube ends. If you do not have a sleeve, carefully line up the tube ends.
  2. Tilt the tubes so that the devices slide from one tube to the other. Do not shake or vibrate the tubes.

The following figure shows the sleeve for tube-to-tube transfer.
