Technical note

Tape and reel shipping media for STM8 and STM32

microcontrollers in SO packages

Introduction

SO packages can be supplied in tape and tube shipping media.

The reels have a 13” typical diameter.

The types of reel used are in plastic either anti static or conductive, with a black conductive

cavity tape. The cover tape is transparent anti static or conductive.

The devices are positioned in the cavities with the identifying pin (normally Pin “1”) on the

same side as the sprocket holes in the tape.

STMicroelectronics tape and reels are compliant with EIA 481 and IEC 60286-3 standard

specifications.

Table 1 lists the SO packages available for STM8 and STM32 microcontrollers, as well as

the corresponding shipping media.
