I've got some components on a reel with the holes to the right of the part! Are all the feeders set-up to drive the holes to the left of the component or was it an option when new?
They've probably just been reeled the wrong way - I've seen this with engineering sample parts - you'll just need to rewind them onto another reel
Had to check the date then... thought it was 1st April!
Good idea guys! I think it might have been April the 1st when they made that reel (new and sealed!)!
