Surface mounting forming die TO220 for Supercut/TOCF machine - Iteco 131400

Power devices in a TO220 package are not always available as a surface mount version. This die assembly reshapes the leads on the Supercut/TOCF into a seating foot, so the leaded part rests on the pad and can run through the reflow or wave process with the rest of the board.

Operating features

• Flat seating lead ends - the formed foot makes contact with the pad, no plated through hole is required.
• Die formed, not hand formed - foot height and length come from the die, so coplanarity stays constant across the batch.
• One die for cut and form - trimming and forming happen within the same machine stroke.
• Pneumatic sequence - clamping, positioning and forming are handled by the machine, the operator only loads the tube.
• Up to 3000 pieces per hour - demanding shapes still run at machine speed.

Applications

Mixed technology assemblies where a power transistor or regulator has to be soldered on the surface without its own hole, for example on thin boards, on double sided assemblies or when an existing hole has to be removed from the layout.

Compatibility and scope of supply

The die works only in the Supercut/TOCF automatic machine, which Iteco supplies under part numbers 7915.176 and 7915.177 in the 115 V and 230 V versions. The machine ships without tooling and every forming shape needs its own die. Each component package additionally requires the matching clamping piece and tube holder. Supplied as one complete die assembly. Made in Italy.
