Abstract
A carrier tape for handling electrical components includes a reinforced component restraining member. Each pocket of the carrier tape includes at least one component restraining member that resists lateral movement of a component within the pocket. The component restraining member includes a first portion having a first height or spacing from a bottom surface in the pocket. A second portion of the restraining member has a second, taller height or spacing from the bottom surface. The first, lower portion reinforces the component restraining member and strengthens it to avoid lateral deformation during shipment or handling of the carrier tape when an electrical component is placed within the pocket.
