Humidity indicator cards are used to constantly indicate that dry packaging methods have not been compromised at any stage along the supply chain of electronic components. This is vital as many products are highly sensitive to moisture so it is important to be able to see clearly if this has happened.
These HICs are environmentally friendly as they are completely Cobalt free and are perfect for the electronics and semiconductor industries. Being Cobalt free does not effect the readings given by the card and will give readings for the humidity levels for dry packaging, while decreasing their impact on the environment.

This card contains 5 blue crystals. Each crystal represents a different level of relative humidity. When exposed to humidity for 24 hours or more the crystal dissolves unto a large blue spot above the indicated humidity percentage. The highest percentage indicated by a dissolved crystal is the maximum amount of humidity that the item has been exposed to; once dissolved the spot will remain even if the relative humidity has fallen below the indicated percentage for a prolonged time.

Humidity Indicator Cards (HICs) are used to indicate the humidity levels inside a moisture barrier bag after it has been vacuum packed. As with the 3 & 4 spot HIC cards the indicator spots change colour between blue and pink depending on the humidity level within the bag; blue to pink as the humidity increases and pink to blue and it decreases.

Type S Clear Insulative Polystyrene carrier tape is designed for superior performance. Its insulative qualities make it ideal for packaging capacitors and other passive devices. The material’s high transparency enables easy in-pocket part inspection, while its uniform surface texture provides a consistently flat sealing area. This specially modified polystyrene offers exceptional strength and stability over time and temperature variations while maintaining flexibility.
Configurations
Carrier Tape is provided splice-free in any of several reel configurations. The number of meters of carrier tape that will fit on a given reel is conditional upon the pocket pitch, pocket depth, and reel configuration.
Carrier tape is manufactured in accordance with EIA standards in a range of widths from 8mm to 200mm, depending on the size and orientation of the device being packaged. In addition, carrier tapes are offered in a variety of reel configurations including single-wind and level-wind (cross-wind) format. Standard configuration is single-wind carrier tape on a 22” diameter corrugated paper reel.
Single-wind reel flange diameters available include 13.0”, 22.0” (standard) and 30.0”. Level-wind reel flange diameters include 14.25” and 22.0”. Both corrugated paper and corrugated plastic reel flanges are offered. High impact plastic LOKREEL® packaging reels are available in the 13” diameter format. Standard hub options include inside diameters of 0.5”, 1.12” and 3.0” and outside diameters of 4.0”, 6.8” and 9.5”.
Shelf Life and Storage
We recommend that Type S carrier tape be used within one year of the date of manufacture. Store this product in its original packaging in a climate controlled environment where temperature ranges from 21°C +/- 17°C (70°F +/- 30°F). This product is not affected by humidity. Allow the product to stabilize at room temperature prior to use.
Camber
The Insulative Polystyrene carrier tape meets the EIA-481-D standard for camber that is not greater than 1mm in 250 linear millimeters. For 8mm to 24mm carrier tape in the level wind format, the camber will not be greater than 2mm in 250 linear millimeters.
