1 Technical Data February 01 3M TM Polycarbonate Carrier 3000 Product Description 3M Polycarbonate Carrier 3000, used in conjunction with a suitable 3M cover tape, serves as a reliable and convenient means of helping protect and transport electrostatically-sensitive electrical and electronic devices, and deliver them to the assembly point. 3M Polycarbonate Carrier 3000 is a continuous, splice free, polycarbonate carrier with precisely formed pockets to ensure component fit to ANSI/EIA standards. Polycarbonate Carriers 3000 is available in a broad selection of pocket designs with dimensions to accommodate a variety of common electrical and electronic parts. Customized Polycarbonate Carrier 3000, including those for connectors, with dimensions specific to your requirements, is also available upon request. EIA-481-D Standard Dimensions E 1 P P B F A A B View A-A A D D 1 P 1 t B 0 K 0 View B-B B1 Construction Embossed, heat-resistant, polycarbonate sheet. Dimensional Properties Polycarbonate Carrier 3000 in 8mm through 4mm wide meets the ANSI/EIA-481-D Standard for the dimensions illustrated to the right. Product Format Polycarbonate Carrier 3000 is available as continuous, splice-free, 8 mm through 10 mm carrier on recyclable cardboard supply reels or plastic reels in planetary wound format. Most 8 mm through 4 mm carriers are also available in a level-wound format. Reel capacity will typically be from 30 to,000 meters, depending upon the pocket depth, pitch and winding format. 1mm Carrier Break Strength (kgf) Typical Carrier Tape Break Strength 3M TM Polycarbonate (PC) Carrier Tape 9.8 3M PC Carrier M PC Carrier 703 & 70 Polystyrene (PS) Carrier Tape Note: The technical information and data presented here should be considered representative or typical only, and should not be used for specification purposes. 7.

2 3M TM Polycarbonate Carrier 3000 Typical Mechanical Properties Shrinkage 3M Polycarbonate Carrier 3000 exhibits shrinkage of less than 0.1% for P0-10, even after 4 hours exposure at 8 C (18 F). This compares favorably to the EIA-481-D standard which stipulates that the P0-10, or ten-pitch tolerance, maintain a dimension of 40.0 mm ± 0. mm, an implied tolerance of ±0.%. Carrier shrinkage can result in problems with feeding, pocket position, and, in the case of the pocket dimensions, parts sticking in the pockets. The extent of shrinkage in cold-formed polystyrene carrier pockets can be rapidly accelerated by exposure to elevated temperature, and will depend upon the duration of exposure and the maximum temperature reached.

Electrical Properties The electrical and triboelectric properties of Polycarbonate Carrier 3000 have been engineered to help provide protection for static-sensitive components through an effective balance between the electrostatic shielding and electrostatic decay properties of the carrier. Polycarbonate Carrier 3000 exhibits a nominal surface resistivity of 10 4 Ω/square and 10 8 Ω/square. Polycarbonate Carrier 3000 exhibits desirable triboelectric properties which may be appropriate for packaging electrostatically-sensitive components. Storage Conditions It is recommended that Polycarbonate Carrier 3000 be stored indoors, in its original packaging, in a controlled climate environment, typically at or below 3 C (9 F) and 70% relative humidity. Product must be protected from exposure to direct sunlight. Exposure to elevated humidity reduces the compressive strength of corrugated, cardboard containers. The recommended stacking height must be followed to avoid damaging the packaged product. It is recommended that the product be used on a first-in, first-out basis. Shelf Life It is recommended that Polycarbonate Carrier 3000 be used within five years from the date of manufacture when stored according to the recommended storage conditions. Recyclability Polycarbonate Carrier 3000 is a carbon-filled thermoplastic polymer film which can be recycled after use. However, recycling programs for this product may not exist in your area. Cover Tape Recommendations 3M TM Heat Activated Adhesive Cover Tapes or 3M TM Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Cover Tapes are recommended for use with Polycarbonate Carrier 3000.

Test Notes 1. Engineering grade resin.. 3. Tensile tests are conducted at 3 C (73 F), 0% RH under controlled conditions with a constant rate of jaw separation of 0 mm/minute from an initial separation of 11 mm. Yield strength is the force which produces % elongation of the sample. Breaking strength is the ultimate strength for the material at the break point. Impact strength testing utilizes a mandrel to hold a section of the material under test. A weight is allowed to strike the material from a known radius and after the strike the swing is measured vs free swing and the strength of the material is calculated from the difference. 4. Camber is a measurement of the weave of the material. Measured over a 0 mm length.. 6. Optical properties are measured using a BYK-Gardner Haze-Gard Plus Transmission Meter, Model 47. Resistivity tests are conducted at 3 C (73 F), 0% RH under controlled conditions with Hiresta-UP equipment, model MCP-HT40. Resistivity is measured at the sealing surface of a typical carrier using the defined test method. Specification tolerances for this carrier is 10 4 Ω/square and 10 8 Ω/square. 7. Static decay is measured at 1mm width carrier tape samples, with an Electrotech Systems Static Decay Meter Model 406-C under 4 C 38%RH, using MIL STD 3010, Method M Test Method was used for the micro-contamination test for 3M Carrier Tapes.
