If the contact is in a misplaced position as detailed on ‘page 3’, the nozzle should touch the
beam during its travel down into the pocket and seat the contact down into the pocket.
Once the cover tape is removed from the pocket, if the vibration and shock of the feeding
mechanism on the machine is too violent, the contacts could jump out of position in the tape,
or even jump out of the pocket due to their low mass.
This situation can be controlled in the pick and place process by ensuring the shock of the
tape indexing is not too violent.
