TMP61: TMP6131QLPGMQ1 without Ammo Carrier

Hello Hypatia,

If we cut the component to size using Ammo Tape and then bend it, it ends up being too short. We want to measure a temperature on a heatsink and so we need the long leads as shown in datasheet (15.1 to 15.5 mm). 

Best regards

Michael

Hi Michael,

I see, have you had problems with removing the tape on the ammo packs?

Best,

Hypatia

Hi Hypatia, 

yes you are right. There's always a bit of glue oder tape left behind on the pins. This leads to problems in the soldering process.

Hi Michael,

We are willing to add the bulk package option to TMP6. However, we don't see this being available soon - it would probably be around July. 

Additionally, the bulk package might not be a perfect solution for you. I wanted to share an evaluation another customer did of the bulk package carrier for a different part. They found that the leads were bent, occasionally very bent as shown in the picture. Is this still workable for you? 

Thank you,

Hypatia

Hi Hypatia,

july is ok for us, at the moment we use another brand of sensors which are EOL but we have enough stock.

Bulk is not perfect, we know this issue but for us it is ok.

Best regards

Michael
