Abstract
In an electronic component series of the type wherein a plurality of electronic components are distributed in the longitudinal direction of a tape-like receiving member to be retained by the same, a cover tape is heat-sealed to a receiving tape having receiving concavities for receiving the respective electronic components. Stepped portions or protrusions are forned in the receiving tape to define regions not in contact with the cover tape. This restricts the extent of the sealed regions wherein the cover tape is heat-sealed to the receiving tape, such that the sealed regions are substantially constant in width which results in a substantially constant force being required for removing the cover tape from the receiving tape.
