Abstract

There is disclosed an electronic parts carrier tape in which a nesting phenomenon, in which superposed embossed portions are fitted together after winding the carrier tape on a reel, is less liable to occur. The electronic parts carrier tape includes a flexible, tape-like member having electronic part-storing embossed portions arranged at predetermined intervals in a longitudinal direction of the tape-like member. At least one rib is formed on and projects outwardly from an outer surface of a peripheral wall of each of the embossed portions. An outer dimension (X) of a bottom of the embossed portion, as seen in a cross-section of the embossed portion through the rib, is larger than a dimension (Y) of an opening in a top of the embossed portion.
