This section of IEC 60286 pertains to bulk case packaging that can accommodate surface mounting components. The bulk case is intended for the transportation and storage of components, as well as for supplying them directly or via an appropriate feeder to the placement machine. It connects to the automatic handling machine through a coupling interface.
NOTE: For information on size limitations of components, refer to Annex A, Tables A.1, A.2, and A.3.
