IC Tubes

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.
