ABSTRACT:
A tape has a plurality of recesses for carrying electronic microchips. Each recess has a bottom wall having ridges surrounding the center of the recess. The ridges engage the microchip to center the microchip within the recess and space leads connected to the microchip from the side walls and end walls of the recess. Support members extending angularly between the ridge ends are adapted to elevate the microchip above the bottom wall of the recess and space the leads from the bottom wall. A cover is releasably attached to the tape to close the top of the recess. A hole in the bottom wall of the recess allows optical readings to verify the position of the microchip. A modification of the tape has a plurality of recesses for carrying electronic microchips having corner ears. Each recess has corner supports for supporting the corner ears of the microchip. The corner supports elevate the microchip and space leads connected to the microchip from the recess walls. The microchip ears engage side walls and end walls of the recess to locate the microchip in a centered position within the recess.
