Waffle Pack Chip Trays

Faqs:

1. What chip types are suitable for waffle packs?

Ideal for:

- BGA (Ball Grid Array) and QFP (Quad Flat Package) components.
- RF/microwave chips, sensors, and MEMS devices.
- Large – die or fragile components requiring secure containment.
- Optoelectronic devices (e.g., lasers, photodiodes) sensitive to physical shock.

2. How do I choose the right cavity depth for my chips?

- Measure the chip thickness + package height (e.g., for a 1.2mm – thick BGA, choose a 1.5mm – 2mm deep cavity to allow clearance).
- Account for any protrusions (e.g., bond wires) to prevent damage during handling.

3. Can waffle packs be customized for unique chip geometries?

Yes, manufacturers offer custom tooling for:

- Non – standard chip sizes (e.g., rectangular, irregular shapes).
- Specialized cavities (e.g., angled walls for easier pick – and – place).
- Branding (e.g., logo embossing, color coding).

4. What safety features do waffle packs include?

- Chamfered cavity edges to prevent chip snagging.
- Latching lids or adhesive seals to secure chips during transit.
- Anti – static interior coatings to minimize particle attraction.

5. How are waffle packs labeled for traceability?

- Laser etching for permanent part numbers, lot codes, or QR codes.
- RFID tags for automated inventory management.
- Color – coded trays for quick visual identification.

6. What's the difference between waffle packs and gel - pack carriers?

- Waffle packs: Rigid, reusable, and ideal for precise alignment in automation.
- Gel packs: Soft, adhesive surfaces for temporary mounting of delicate dies, often used in die – attach processes.

7. Can waffle packs be used for long - term chip storage?

Yes, when paired with:

- Desiccant packets to control humidity.
- Sealed bags (e.g., Mylar) to block oxygen and moisture.
- Dark storage to prevent photodegradation of sensitive components.

8. Are there industry standards for waffle pack dimensions?

Yes, key standards include:

- JEDEC MO – 150: Defines tray dimensions and cavity layouts.
- EIA – 583: Addresses ESD – safe packaging requirements.
- SEMIF47: Specifies compatibility with automated handling equipment.

9. Can waffle packs be used in high - vibration environments?

Yes, if designed with:

- Snug – fitting cavities (tolerance <±0.05mm).
- Vibration – dampening materials (e.g., rubberized inserts).
- Secure locking mechanisms to prevent tray shifting during transit.

10. What's the lead time for custom waffle pack orders?

Typically 4 – 8 weeks for tooling and prototyping, with production runs of 4 – 6 weeks thereafter. Expedited options (e.g., 2 – week turnaround) may be available for urgent projects.

11.Are waffle packs compatible with vacuum environments?

Yes, if made from outgassing – compliant materials (e.g., PEEK, ULTEM). These are tested to meet NASA or SEMI standards for low volatile emissions in vacuum chambers.

12. How do I choose the right cavity depth for my chips?

- Measure the chip thickness + package height (e.g., for a 1.2mm – thick BGA, choose a 1.5mm – 2mm deep cavity to allow clearance).
- Account for any protrusions (e.g., bond wires) to prevent damage during handling.

13. Can waffle packs be customized for unique chip geometries?

Yes, manufacturers offer custom tooling for:

- Non – standard chip sizes (e.g., rectangular, irregular shapes).
- Specialized cavities (e.g., angled walls for easier pick – and – place).
- Branding (e.g., logo embossing, color coding).

14. What safety features do waffle packs include?

- Chamfered cavity edges to prevent chip snagging.
- Latching lids or adhesive seals to secure chips during transit.
- Anti – static interior coatings to minimize particle attraction.
