The complete line of materials and equipment will enable networks' inherent reliability to be preserved throughout assembly steps. The prevent bending or entangling the network leads thereby enhancing reliability, permit full access to the networks for electrical testing and assembly, and provide space for symbolizing and coding. The carriers are designed to facilitate handling of integrated circuits throughout the production cycle and are adaptable to all levels of mechanization. A companion tool, and hand shear, is designed to remove the networks from their protective carriers. The shear cuts all leads to close tolerance in one operation without transmitting stress to the networks themselves.
Shear cutting dies of different shapes are available to fit varying lead patterns.
The cutting edges have a life expectancy of over 100,000 operations and are economical to replace. Texas Instruments Incorporated. All rights reserved.
