Abstract

An electronic component container includes a component accommodating space to accommodate electronic components, and a discharge port through which the electronic components accommodated in the component accommodating space are dischargeable to an outside. An inner wall surface of the component accommodating space has a skewness Rsk of about −0.8 or greater and about −0.3 or less.

Claims (34)

1 . An electronic component container comprising:

a component accommodating space to accommodate a plurality of electronic components; and

a discharge port through which the electronic components accommodated in the component accommodating space are dischargeable to an outside; wherein

an inner wall surface of the component accommodating space has a skewness Rsk of about −0.8 or greater and about −0.3 or less.

2 . The electronic component container according to claim 1 , wherein the skewness Rsk of the inner wall surface is about −0.76 or greater and about −0.38 or less.

3 . The electronic component container according to claim 1 , wherein the inner wall surface has an arithmetic mean roughness Ra of about 1.5 μm or greater and about 3.5 μm or less.

4 . The electronic component container according to claim 1 , wherein the inner wall surface has a root-mean-square roughness Rq of about 1.8 μm or greater and about 4.5 μm or less.

5 . The electronic component container according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic component container has a surface resistance value of about 10 8 Ω/cm 2 or greater and about 10 10 Ω/cm 2 or less.

6 . The electronic component container according to claim 1 , wherein the inner wall surface includes at least a portion of an entirety of inner wall surfaces that surround the component accommodating space.

7 . The electronic component container according to claim 1 , wherein the inner wall surface includes an inner wall surface that has a largest contact area with the electronic components among an entirety of inner wall surfaces that surround the component accommodating space.

8 . The electronic component container according to claim 1 , further comprising a first portion and a second portion separable in a left-right direction.

9 . The electronic component container according to claim 8 , wherein each of the first and second portions are made of resin.

10 . The electronic component container according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a container body including the component accommodating space therein;

a discharge port through which the plurality of electronic components are capable of being supplied and discharged;

a shutter to open and close the discharge port; and

a slider to cause the shutter to slide.

11 . The electronic component container according to claim 10 , wherein the container body includes:

a top plate and a bottom plate extending in a front-rear direction;

a front wall and a rear wall extending in an up-down direction;

a pair of left and right side walls; and

an inclined plate partitioning an interior of the container body into upper and lower spaces.

12 . The electronic component container according to claim 11 , wherein the discharge port is at a lower portion of the front wall.

13 . The electronic component container according to claim 10 , wherein the discharge port has a rectangular or substantially rectangular shape.

14 . The electronic component container according to claim 11 , wherein the inclined plate extends between the left and right side walls and from the rear wall to a lower portion of the discharge port.

15 . The electronic component container according to claim 11 , wherein the included plate is positioned below a center in the up-down direction of the interior of the container body.

16 . The electronic component container according to claim 11 , wherein the inclined plate is inclined at an inclination angle of about 3° or greater and about 10° or less.

17 . The electronic component container according to claim 11 , wherein the inclined plate is inclined at an inclination angle of about 5°.

18 . The electronic component container according to claim 10 , wherein

the container body includes upper gripping portions and rear gripping portions;

the upper gripping portions are defined by a pair of recesses respectively provided in front and rear ends of an upper portion of the container body; and

the rear gripping portions are defined by a pair of recesses respectively provided at upper and lower ends of a rear portion of the container body.

19 . The electronic component container according to claim 10 , wherein the container body includes a plurality of claws on a bottom surface thereof to detachably mount the electronic component on a feeder.

20 . The electronic component container according to claim 10 , wherein the shutter includes strip-shaped film having a thickness of about 0.1 mm or greater and about 0.5 mm or less.
