Please note: The 3 x 8 mm S tape feeder module for 0201/0402 components has no
spacer. The increment is pre-set at 2 mm as the carrier tape for this module
is generally manufactured with 2 mm increments.
But a setting of 4 mm is possible!

Please note:

Do not open the retainer when carrier and cover tapes are

Otherwise, the cover tape removal device will cause

tearing in the carrier tape's perforation resulting in several
tape-pockets being pulled forwards.
