Description
Standard or custom made IC Tube used for packaging electronic components, protecting them from the dangers of ESD, transportation and atmospheric damage.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
For quoting IC Tubes, Sewate will need one of the following:
- Drawing of the tube you wish to order
- Drawing of the IC component that’s going into the tubes
- A sample tube if there is no drawing
- If none of the above is available, we will need your physical component that goes into the tube so we can take measurements.
Considerations for custom-made IC tubes
- One time tooling set up cost
- Extruded Plastic IC tube tooling must be designed & manufactured based on the shape of the extrusion
- Minimum tube order requirement
STANDARD PVC
The semiconductor industry has relied on IC Tubes as the medium for shipping its components between assembly and test operations or between its end customers. There are still two simple reasons for its popularity – economy and flexibility. We offer over a thousand types of open tools, from through-hole, SMT to leadless packaging (QFN, MLF, LPCC, etc.). Our products can provide services for the following fields, such as connectors, relays, switches, power modules, sensors, medical instruments, leds, passive components, etc.
Features | Benefits |
Good impact strength | crack free tubes |
Stable dimension | Excellent smooth interfacing |
Critical dimension control within 5 mils | Higher productivity |
Short cycle time | Short lead time |
POLYCARBONATE(PC)
Polycarbonate IC Tube is our high performance tube series. Our deep knowledge of shipping tube design, polymer science and extrusion technology enables us to produce IC Tubes with tolerances of +/ -2 mil (+/ -50 micron) dimensions. This unique tight tolerance can help many of our customers improve uptime, reduce scrap and minimize rework.
Features | Benefits |
Tight tolerance. Critical dimension control +/- 2 mils | Accurate unattended high speed device loading and unloading |
Superb clarity/transparency | Ease of visual inspection |
Package guide profile design | Prevent device piggy back, shingling and unit rotation |
High impact strength | Ideal for MSOP and TSSOP square body packages |
“Green materials”
Actively support the 3R concept – reduce, reuse and recycle.
We are always looking for opportunities to launch products that help reduce the impact on the environment. Various “green materials”, such as PS, PC,ABS and PETG polymer products, are testament to this commitment. Pllease take a look at What are the materials for Anti Static Plastic IC Tubes?
PS IC TUBES
Features | Benefits |
Halogen free | Reduced environmental impact |
Improved clarity/transparency and impact strength | Good clarity/transparency without compromising impact strength |
Available in clear or translucent |
PETG IC TUBES
Features | Benefits |
Halogen free | Reduced environmental impact |
Strongest impact strength | Excellent for heavy duty big packages |
Excellent clarity/transparency | Application examples: microprocessor heat sink and ceramic TO packages. |
