IEC 60286-2 Ed. 3.0 en:2008

IEC 60286-2 applies to the tape package of components with two or more unidirectional leads for use in electronic equipment. In general, the tape is applied to the component leads. It covers requirements for taping techniques used with equipment for automatic handling, preforming of leads, insertion and other operations and includes only those dimensions which are essential to the taping of components intended for the above-mentioned purposes. It cancels and replaces the second edition published in 1997 and its amendment 1 (2002) and constitutes a minor revision related to tables, figures and references.
