SMD Tape and Reel Packing Carrier Tape for Components Collecting and Storage

We supply high quality embossed carrier tapes and custom carrier tapes according to customers's demand.
If you need a carrier tape to allow parts to be placed and sealed to go onto a pick and place system, then we have options for you.

Introduction

The Carrier tape has pockets that are shaped to match the contours of the component to be carried. The width of carrier tape is between 8 and 104 mm,which is under the EIA standars, we also can custom for customers. In the carrier tape, there are sprocket holes down both sides of the tape, round with a radius of approximately 1.5 mm on one side and oval with a "radius" of 0.75 mm on the other. These holes enable precision presentation of the pocket to the pick and place unit.

Carrier tape size and it matched cover tape

Each carrier tape has it matched cover tape, the cover tape has the cold sealing and hot sealing options during the components packing,also the cover tape has the ESD options. Below is the dimension of the carrier tape and it matched cover tape diagram.

Application

The embossed carrier tapes are widely used in the surface packaging, carrying and transmission of the surface mounting equipments,for example, the mini PCB , IC ,LED chip, connectors, diodes, dynatrons, resistors, conductors, capacitors, fuses, switches, relays, resonators, radome, socket component,etc.

SMT production line equipment

1. Universal SMT machine: Using the program edited by the device to mount components onto designated parts positions, it can mount SOP 28 pin or more (including components that can be mounted by high-speed machines) roll, disc, or tubular packaging components. Its characteristics are high precision and diversity, but its installation speed is inferior to high-speed machines.
2. Reflow soldering: Use SMT solder paste or red glue to set an appropriate temperature curve to complete the soldering action between the solder paste and the part.
3. Unloader: The board is loaded into the magazine through a transfer track.
4. Optical inspection instrument: Automatic optical inspection is a device based on optical principles to detect common defects encountered in welding production. AOI is a new testing technology that has only emerged in recent years, but has developed rapidly. Currently, many manufacturers have launched AOI testing equipment. When performing automatic detection, the machine automatically scans the PCB through a camera, collects images, compares the tested solder joints with qualified parameters in the database, processes the images, checks for defects on the PCB, and displays/marks the defects through a display or automatic marker for maintenance personnel to repair.
