Cover Tape Extender for the Extension of the 32 mm SMD Cover Tape

Description

When an SMD Tape, without leader, is to be fed into a pick and place machine the Cover Tape must be pulled back to allow the advancing mechanism of a tape feeder to engage, which usually leads to the loss of several components. With short SMD Tape lengths, expensive components or short production runs this is unlikely to be acceptable. Valuable components can be saved. The yellow, self-adhesive section is permanently attached up to the black mark. Cover Tape Extenders are supplied in special transport, storage and dispensing cartons, from where they are easily picked one at the time.

Conclusion

A valuable product in SMD technology to avoid the loss of components, especially for assemblers of small-batch production.

Highlights

- high tensile /and shearing strength;

- artificial length addition of extra length to the Cover Tape;

- non-adhesive PET-stripe for insertion in a Tape Feeder;
