ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for feeding an electronic component to an insertion device using a carrier tape according to the present invention includes a hub having first and second lateral sides and a peripheral surface extending between the lateral sides. The apparatus also includes a tape receiving slot extending into the hub. The slot includes a first laterally extending portion having a first height and a second laterally extending portion having a second height. The height of the second laterally extending portion is smaller than that of the first laterally extending portion for aiding in the proper orientation of the carrier tape within the slot so the electronic components can be properly delivered to the insertion device. The height of the second portion is also smaller than the height of the component receiving compartments. The reel allows the tape to be wound in only one direction so it is not unreeled backwards and the components are not applied to an electronic circuit board in a reverse or wrong manner. The reel also reduces circuit board and machinery failure by preventing the improper insertion of electronic components through proper component presentation to the insertion machine.
