  IC Packaging Trays: The Essential Protector of Semiconductor Chips If you've ever wondered how delicate integrated circuits ( ICs ) travel safely from the manufacturing plant to the final assembly line, the unsung hero is the IC packaging tray . These trays are far more than just plastic containers; they are a critical component in the semiconductor supply chain, ensuring the integrity and quality of the chips within. As the backbone of automated component handling, understanding IC trays is essential for anyone in electronics manufacturing or logistics. What is an IC Tray? (Integrated Circuit Tray) An IC tray (Integrated Circuit tray), often called a JEDEC tray (after the standardizing body, the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council), is a highly specialized, standardized container used for the precise handling, transport, and storage of electronic components, primarily integrated circuits (microchips). These trays are not just for basic protection; their design is rigoro...
