YAMAHA KHJ-MC46U-00 SS24mm Feeder Waste Tape Cover Latch for YS12 YS24

YAMAHA KHJ-MC46U-00 SS24mm Feeder Waste Tape Cover Latch for YS12 YS24

The YAMAHA KHJ-MC46U-00 SS24mm Electric Feeder Tail Cover Assembly is a mechanical feeder spare part designed for the SS 24mm electric tape feeder configuration. It is commonly used with YS12 and YS24 SMT placement equipment equipped with compatible SS series feeders.

KHJ-MC46U-00 is identified in feeder spare-parts references as TAIL COVER ASSY, specifically corresponding to the 24mm feeder size. It is also commonly described in the SMT replacement-parts market as a waste tape cover, feeder tail cover, waste tape stopper cover, or feeder rear cover.

Installed at the rear section of the feeder, this component helps maintain a controlled area for outgoing carrier tape after components have passed through the feeding and pickup position. It also provides physical protection for the feeder tail mechanism during production, feeder changeovers, transportation, storage, and routine maintenance.

Cause – Why the SS24mm Tail Cover Needs Replacement

Electric tape feeders operate continuously during SMT production and are frequently removed, loaded, adjusted, cleaned, transported, and returned to the production line.

Because the KHJ-MC46U-00 is located at the feeder tail section, it can experience repeated mechanical contact during daily handling.

Typical reasons for replacement include:

A damaged tail cover does not automatically mean the complete feeder must be replaced.

If the feeder motor, sprocket, gear system, sensor, tape guide, and electronic control components remain in good working condition, replacing the KHJ-MC46U-00 tail cover assembly can be a more practical and economical maintenance solution.

Solution – Replace the KHJ-MC46U-00 Tail Cover Assembly

Correct SS24mm Configuration

KHJ-MC46U-00 corresponds to the SS 24mm feeder configuration. It should be selected according to both part number and feeder width rather than appearance alone.

Improved Rear Feeder Protection

The component helps protect the feeder tail section from accidental contact during normal production, feeder installation, removal, transportation, and storage.

Supports Waste Tape Handling

After components are picked from the carrier tape, the remaining material exits toward the rear of the feeder. The tail cover helps maintain an organized mechanical area around this outgoing tape.

Individual Maintenance Replacement

When only the rear tail cover is damaged, technicians can replace this component without unnecessarily changing the complete SS24mm feeder.

Suitable for Preventive Maintenance

Keeping KHJ-MC46U-00 in feeder spare-parts inventory allows maintenance teams to quickly repair damaged units and return them to production.

Specifications

KHJ-MC46U-00 belongs to the SS feeder tail-cover family and is specifically associated with the 24mm feeder configuration.

For purchasing and warehouse management, the complete part number should always be retained because several similar SS feeder tail cover assemblies are available for other tape widths.

Application

The KHJ-MC46U-00 is primarily used for maintenance and repair of SS24mm electric tape feeders operating in automated SMT manufacturing environments.

Typical applications include:

The product is particularly useful in production lines processing electronic components supplied in 24mm carrier tape.

Because feeder widths and mechanical structures differ, compatibility should always be checked according to the actual feeder specification before installation.

How It Works

In an SMT production line, electronic components are supplied through embossed or formed carrier tape loaded into an electric feeder.

The typical feeding sequence is:

Carrier Tape Loading → Tape Indexing → Component Positioning → Component Pickup → Used Carrier Tape Exit

The feeder drive system advances the carrier tape by the required pitch so that each electronic component reaches the correct pickup position.

After the placement head removes the component, the empty carrier tape continues toward the feeder rear section.

The KHJ-MC46U-00 tail cover assembly is positioned around this rear area.

Its primary function is mechanical rather than electronic.

It helps to:

• Protect the feeder tail structure.
• Maintain an organized outgoing tape area.
• Reduce accidental contact with internal components.
• Support stable feeder handling.
• Protect the rear section during feeder changeovers.
• Maintain the proper mechanical condition of repaired feeders.

The KHJ-MC46U-00 does not directly control feed pitch, component positioning, motor speed, machine communication, or placement accuracy.

If an SS24mm feeder experiences indexing errors, pitch abnormalities, motor alarms, communication problems, or inaccurate component feeding, technicians should also inspect other components such as the feed motor, sprocket, gears, tape guide, sensors, wiring, and feeder electronics.

How To Choose

Correct spare-part identification is especially important for SS feeder components because tail covers for different feeder widths can appear visually similar.

Before placing an order, verify the following information:

SS Feeder Tail Cover Size Reference

For an SS24mm electric feeder, KHJ-MC46U-00 should be selected rather than KHJ-MC56U-00, KHJ-MC66U-00, or KHJ-MC76U-00.

Do not select a replacement only because the external appearance looks similar.

When the original part number is unclear, provide clear photos of the feeder, tail section, and existing component together with the feeder width for confirmation.

Key Advantages

Accurate SS24mm Feeder Matching

KHJ-MC46U-00 corresponds specifically to the SS24mm electric feeder configuration, helping reduce incorrect spare-part selection.

Individual Replacement

A damaged feeder tail cover can be replaced independently without replacing an otherwise functional complete feeder.

Protects the Feeder Tail Area

Provides physical coverage around the feeder rear section and reduces accidental contact with surrounding mechanical components.

Supports Waste Carrier Tape Management

Helps maintain an organized exit area for used carrier tape during continuous component feeding.

Useful for Preventive Maintenance

Suitable for feeder repair programs, scheduled maintenance, spare feeder rebuilding, and factory replacement-parts inventory.

FAQ

Q1: What is YAMAHA KHJ-MC46U-00?

KHJ-MC46U-00 is a tail cover assembly for the SS24mm electric feeder. It is installed at the rear section of the feeder and helps provide mechanical protection while maintaining an organized outgoing carrier tape area.

Q2: Is KHJ-MC46U-00 suitable for YS12 and YS24?

Yes. KHJ-MC46U-00 is commonly used with SS24mm electric feeder configurations for YS12 and YS24 SMT equipment. The actual feeder model and part number should still be confirmed before ordering.

Q3: Is KHJ-MC46U-00 a latch or a complete tail cover assembly?

The standard spare-parts description is TAIL COVER ASSY. “Waste Tape Cover Latch” and “Waste Tape Cover” are common market descriptions, but Tail Cover Assembly is the more accurate technical product name.

Q4: Can KHJ-MC46U-00 replace KHJ-MC56U-00?

No. KHJ-MC46U-00 corresponds to the 24mm SS feeder, while KHJ-MC56U-00 corresponds to the 32mm feeder. Their dimensions and feeder applications differ.

Q5: What information is required before ordering?

Please provide the KHJ-MC46U-00 part number, 24mm feeder size, machine model, required quantity, delivery country, and clear product photos if available. This information helps confirm the correct feeder spare part before shipment.
