The critical elements are pocket geometry and orientation. Pocket size sets how precisely the part sits in the tape; too large and the part shifts, so the nozzle picks off-centre; too small and the part cannot seat fully, leading to crushing or a missed pick.
Material: SUS304 Stainless Steel. It is fed from carrier tape on the placement machine.
Pocket depth trades pick speed against stability: deep pockets locate well but lengthen nozzle travel.

| Typical substrate | SMT component packing |
| Key inspections | pocket dimensions, peel force, orientation |
Pocket dimensions and position are sampled to EIA-481 optically.We recommend a pilot assembly at the actual torque and mating part before locking the process parameters for volume.
