ANSI EIA-960-A-2011 pdf download ASSEMBLY COMPONENT TRAY – ACT1 Scope This standard covers requirements for Assembly Component Trays –ACTs used during automated assembly processes. The standard size is covered which works with tray slots handling an envelope of 298.45mm (11.75inches) x 254mm (10inches) and the “J” size which works with tray slots handling an envelope of 322.58mm (12.7 inches) x 135.89mm (5.35 inches).
2 Introduction
This standard was formulated to provide dimensions and tolerances necessary for trays to locate components in matrix positions for existing automated handling equipment. The standard ACT tray will fit within the footprint of two side by side JEDEC-PGA Package trays which measure 322.58mm x 135.89mm (12.7” x 5.35”) each. They can also be used as shipment packages in the logistic chain, where the tray box – both RSC (Regular Slotted Carton) style and self-locking optimize the space used on a US 48” pallet and the A2N and L9N air cargo containers. Both RSC and self-locking boxes designed around the ACT dimensions maximize parts within the 1728 in^3 shipping volume limit without incurring Dimension Weight charges. The “J” ACT tray matches the outside dimensions and general geometry of PGA Package trays. It is designed as a form, fit, and function, alternative to JEDEC-PGA trays.
