Reel orientation: stated in the datasheet, missing on the page

Drew Owens ·

Found by the Puma assembly sim's rotation check (ROT), ADVISORY. Sim-director checkpoint c2, 2026-10-28.

Finding: Reel orientation missing (feeder-reader)

Evidence (the datasheet on this page): p. 40: "LMR33630ADDAR SO DDA 8 2500 ... Q1"

Suggested addition to the page: Pin 1 quadrant Q1, 12 mm tape, 8 mm pitch

Why it matters: the Puma's carrier Orientation for this part has to match how it sits in the tape. If it does not, a polarised part is placed rotated. The nametag first article on 2026-09-21 placed its USB-C 180 degrees off this way. Angles are in the tape frame: 0 means toward the direction of feed, 90 toward the sprocket holes, viewed from the cover tape. EIA-481 quadrants are as TI draws them, Q1 upper-left with the holes on top and the feed to the right.

Record: puma-sim data/reel-orientation (private drew2/adom-aiflow-assembly, not released yet). Nothing on this page was edited.
