Select Model SRF and SM Series Common Mode Chip Inductors
Carrier Tape Design Change
Riverside, California – February 24, 2020 – Effective immediately, Bourns is changing the carrier tape design of select
SRF and SM Series Common Mode Chip Inductors to include a 1 mm diameter hole at the bottom of the carrier pocket.
The carrier pocket currently has a closed bottom. In some cases, when the carrier tape is peeled away during assembly,
the process itself can generate a level of electrostatic discharge high enough to attract small components remaining
in the pocket which can interfere with the component picking process. Research shows that the open hole at the
bottom of the carrier pocket can dramatically reduce the static voltage to a level that will not interfere with the
assembly process. A list of affected part numbers is included on the following page.
The change in carrier tape design has no effect on the component. The form, fit, function, reliability and quality of the
inductor remain unchanged.
