The advantages and disadvantages of different packaging methods for thermistors/varistors

1.  Bulk Packing

      Commonly used in disc type, lead type thermistor / varistor, temperature sensor

      Advantage：

            ● The packaging takes up less space

            ● Easy to transport and operate on the shop floor

            ● Lower prices

            ● Generally in stock, faster delivery

      Disadvantages：

           ● The surface of the product will be friction marks (does not affect performance)

           ●  Can not be used for automatic pipelining

2.  Reel Packing

      Commonly used in Surface Mounted Devices type thermistor, Less for glass axial type,

  disc type, lead type thermistor / varistor

       Advantage：

            ● Can be used for automatic pipelining

            ● The surface of the product less friction marks

      Disadvantages：

           ●  Higher price

           ●  Delivery time is longer

           ●  Order quantity required more

           ●  Packaging takes up more space

3. Ammo Packing 

      Commonly used in large diameter thermistor, Less for disc type, Lead type thermistor /

 varistor and glass Axial Type thermistor

       Advantage：

            ● Can be used for automatic pipelining

            ● The surface of the product less friction marks

      Disadvantages：

           ●  Higher price

           ●  Delivery time is longer

           ●  Order quantity required more

           ●  Packaging takes up more space
