A component carrier, for holding for purposes of automated visual inspection an electrical component having a lead with a free end, includes a carrier substrate and a pocket recessed in the substrate for holding the component in the interior of the pocket. The pocket includes a wall, depending from the carrier substrate and defining a lateral boundary of the pocket, and a bottom. There is a lead-tip horizontal plane and a lead-tip vertical plane when a correctly constructed component of the type the carrier is intended to hold is properly oriented in the pocket. The lead-tip vertical plane is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the pocket. The wall slopes down and inwardly at a first angle relative to the substrate through the lead-tip horizontal plane and at a second angle relative to the substrate through the lead-tip vertical plane. The first angle is greater than or equal to approximately 75.degree. and less than or equal to 90.degree., and the second angle is less than 90.degree. and not greater than the first angle.

[ We claim:] [1.] A component carrier for holding for purposes of automated visual inspection an electrical component having a lead with a free end, comprising:a carrier substrate; anda pocket recessed in the substrate for holding the component in the interior of the pocket, the pocket comprising (a) a wall depending from the carrier substrate and defining a lateral boundary of the pocket, and (b) a bottom,wherein there is a lead-tip horizontal plane and a lead-tip vertical plane, both intersecting a tip of the free end of the lead of a correctly constructed component of the type the carrier is intended to hold when the component is properly oriented in the pocket, the lead-tip vertical plane being perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the pocket, the lead-tip horizontal plane being parallel to a plane approximated by the carrier substrate adjacent to the pocket, and wherein the wall slopes down and inwardly at a first angle, relative to the plane approximated by the carrier substrate, through the lead-tip horizontal plane and at a second angle, also relative to the plane approximated by the carrier substrate, through the lead-tip vertical plane, the first angle being greater than or equal to approximately 75.degree. and less than or equal to 90.degree., and the second angle being less than 90.degree. and not greater than the first angle. [18.] A component package comprising:a carrier substrate with a pocket recessed therein, the pocket comprising (a) a wall depending from the carrier substrate and defining a lateral boundary of the pocket, and (b) a bottom; andan electrical component having a lead with a free end, the component being disposed in the interior of the pocket for automated visual inspection,wherein there is a lead-tip horizontal plane and a lead-tip vertical plane that both intersect a tip of the free end of the lead of the component when the component is properly oriented in the pocket, the lead-tip vertical plane being perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the pocket, the lead-tip horizontal plane being parallel to a plane approximated by the carrier substrate adjacent to the pocket, and wherein the wall slopes down and inwardly at a first angle, relative to the plane approximated by the carrier substrate, through the lead-tip horizontal plane and at a second angle, relative to the plane approximated by the carrier substrate, through the lead-tip vertical plane, the first angle being greater than or equal to approximately 75.degree. and less than or equal to 90.degree., and the second angle being less than 90.degree. and not greater than the first angle. The component package of claim 18, wherein the first angle is at least approximately 79.degree.. [37.] A process of packaging a plurality of identical electrical components, each having a lead with a free end, comprising:providing a carrier comprised of a substrate with a series of identically shaped pockets recessed therein for holding one of the components in the interior of each pocket, each pocket comprising (a) a wall depending from the carrier substrate and defining a lateral boundary of the pocket, and (b) a bottom;placing one of the components in each of the pockets so that there is a lead-tip horizontal plane parallel to a plane approximated by the carrier substrate adjacent to the pocket, and so that there is a lead-tip vertical plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the pocket, the lead-tip horizontal plane and the lead-tip vertical plane intersecting a tip of the free end of the lead, wherein the wall of the pocket slopes down and inwardly at a first angle, relative to the plane approximated by the substrate, through the lead-tip horizontal plane and at a second angle, relative to the plane approximated by the substrate, through the lead-tip vertical plane, the first angle being greater than or equal to approximately 75.degree. and less than or equal to 90.degree., and the second angle being less than 90.degree. and not greater than the first angle; andaffixing a substantially transparent carrier cover to the carrier substrate, so as to cover all of the pockets and enclose the components therein.
