Loading up the pick and place with part reels. We decided to put the most common, cheap stuff in the back of the ‘stack’ of reels. After all, it won’t need to be swapped.
Less used stuff is going towards the front, that way it is easier to swap out. We’re leaving free 8mm reel spots right in the front of the stack, that way it’s easy to temporary load a certain capacitor or resistor value.
Here’s the stack, from front of machine to back:
- Free (8mm feeder)
- BAS-16J Diode DO-323
- 1.5A ferrite bead 0603
- 3.3volt regulator SOT-23-5
- Yellow LED 0805
- 18pF cap 0603
- 0.1uF cap 0603
- 1uF cap 0603
- 10uF cap CASE-A (1206)
- 2K resistor 0603
- 10K resistor 0603
- 10K x 4 resistor array 1206
- 5.4mm buttons SMD (12mm feeder)
- free (12mm feeder)
- free (16mm feeder)
