Abstract
Abstract Small, fragile products such as transistors, diodes and integrated-circuit dice are packaged on a tape which may be indexed through various production stages. The tape is formed with spaced apertures closed on one side by means of a pressuresensitive adhesive wall bonded to one side of the tape. Devices are dropped onto the wall and adhere thereto. Sprocket holes are formed along the marginal edge of the tape for engagement with an indexing drive mechanism.
