Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit a stopper to be freely moved and secured in place by hand even in the case of an odd-lot IC by providing an IC tube having a slit and a stopper having a knob easily engageable with said slit and securable in any given position thereof. CONSTITUTION:To package odd-lot SOJ type IC 3, a knobbed stopper 2 is fitted into one end of a slit tube 1 and SOJ type IC's 3 are then inserted successively thereinto. At the end of insertion, the stopper 2 is pushed all the way into contact with the last IC 3 so as to secure the IC's in a series firmly in place. As mentioned above, the IC packaging tube 1 is provided with a slit and the stopper 2 is provided with the knob having almost the same width as that of the slit so as to be engageable therewith, whereby the stopper can be freely moved and secured in place and the odd-lot IC's can be easily packaged with improved packaging efficiency.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a tube for packaging ICs.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a conventional IC tube used for packaging, for example, SOJ type IC, and in the figure (3)
is SOJ type I C1 (47 is tube, (5n is 5tJ
This is a stopper to prevent the J-type IC13) from coming out of the tube (4J).

Next, the operation will be explained.

As shown in Figure 2, a specified number of SO
After inserting the J type IC (3), put on the stopper (5) and
Fix the OJ type IC (3) so that it does not move.

At this time, there may be cases where the number of SOJ type ICs (3) does not reach a prescribed number, that is, a fractional number.

In this case, the SOJ type IC (3) usually moves freely, which is one of the causes of destruction of the SOJ type IC (33) due to the generation of static electricity, as well as cracking and chipping in ceramic packages.

Therefore, a method has been used in which the stopper (5) is stuffed into the tube (4) and fixed so that the SOJ type IC (:() does not move).

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Since the conventional IC tube is constructed as described above, when the number of ICs to be packaged is a fraction, there are problems such as it is inconvenient to push in the stopper and it is difficult to take out the tube.

This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object thereof is to obtain an IC tube whose stopper can be freely moved and fixed by hand even when the number of ICs is a fraction.

[Means to solve the problem]

In the IC tube according to the present invention, a slit is provided in a part of the IC tube in order to be able to hold the IC tube in accordance with changes in the length of all the ICs when the number of ICs to be held by l'+1 is a fraction. A stopper with a knob that can be easily fitted into the slit and fixed at any position is inserted into the IC tube.

[Effect]

The stopper with a knob according to the present invention can easily hold both ends of the IC tube corresponding to the length of all the ICs when the number of ICs to be inserted is a fraction.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which an IC is inserted into an IC tube. In the figure, (1) is a slit tube with a slit in part, (2) is a stopper with a knob of approximately the same width that can be fitted into the slit, and (3) is an SOJ type IC. be. The slit provided in a part of the slit tube (1) is not provided near the center of the length of the slit tube (1) in order to maintain the strength of the slit tube (1).

Next, the operation will be explained.

When packaging a fractional number of SOJ type ICs (31), fit a stopper with a knob (2) into one end of the slit tube (1), and then wrap the SOJ type IC (3) to be packaged in the slit tube (1). Insert. When insertion is complete, insert the stopper with a knob (2) into the SOJ that was inserted last.
Push it all the way to type IC+37 and secure it.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the SOJ type IC (31 packaging I
Although the C tube has been described, it may also be an IC tube used for packaging other types of packages. Further, even if the slit of the slit tube (1) is provided on the side or under the IC tube, the same effect as in the above embodiment can be obtained.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the stopper can be freely moved and fixed by making a slit in the IC tube for packaging and attaching a knob in almost the same position to the stopper that can be fitted into the slit. This has the effect of making it easier to package fractional ICs, and greatly improving packaging work efficiency.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

FIG. 1 shows an IC tube according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which an IC is inserted into a conventional IC tube. In the figure, (1) is a tube with a slit, (2) is a stopper with a knob, and (3) is an SOJ type IC. In addition, in the figures, the same reference numerals indicate the same or equivalent parts.

Claims (1)

[Claims] In an IC tube for packaging semiconductor integrated circuits (hereinafter referred to as IC), a slit is made in a part of the IC tube, a knob is attached to the stopper in approximately the same position that can be fitted into the slit, and the stopper is moved. , an IC tube characterized by being fixed.
