A new re-reeling service, enabling passive components to be re-reeled to individually specified quantities, suits surface mount passive components such as resistors, capacitors and inductors.

Farnell InOne, the number one source for RoHS compliant products and information, has launched a new re-reeling service, enabling passive components to be re-reeled to individually specified quantities. Available for surface mount passive components such as resistors, capacitors and inductors, the new service is ideally suited to small-scale production runs, where components normally come in large reel quantities but the build only requires a part reel quantity. The required components can now be re-reeled onto a new reel, ready to pick and place, saving time and money.

The new service from Farnell InOne will help engineers to eliminate the problem of wasted components.

No unused stock needs to be left on the machine and the associated storage problems for unused components will be eradicated.

In turn, assembly efficiency is improved and customers only buy what is needed.

The service comes complete with leader and trailer tape, securely reeled on a 7in reel and ready to go on a pick and place machine.

It is available for a wide range of passive components from many of the market-leading manufacturers including AVX, EPCOS, Phycomp, Multicomp, Murata, Welwyn and Panasonic.
