I couldn't quite find what I liked for a SMD parts reel so I've made my own.
This one's got a simple notch for alignment of the two halves and a 3mm screw hole (which'll probably work with a 1/8 SAE wood or self tapping screw). It also has the center design of a normal industry reel which should be nice if I upgrade to a pick & place for my spools.
The 180mm SMD Reel is for spooling up your 9mm or 12mm SMD parts tape on a plastic roll. The smaller size is a 120mm SMD Reel for spooling up 9mm SMD parts tape on a plastic roll.
Features include:
Common 9mm and 12mm widths
Single 3mm or 1/8 screw hole attachment
Positioning standoff (only requires one screw)
Notch to assist in rolling your spool
Standard three-prong interior that might even conform to Electronic Industries Association (EIA) Standard 481
