Embossed carrier tape molding

By the molding characteristics of the pockets, carrier tapes can be divided into embossed carrier tapes and punched carrier tapes. An embossed carrier tape is a type of carrier tape in which the material of the carrier tape is locally stretched or suction-formed to create a recessed pocket shape by die stamping or blister method. This type of carrier tape can be molded into pockets of different sizes to accommodate the size of the electronic components to be packaged. A punched carrier tape is a type of carrier tape in which pockets are formed by punching through or partially through the carrier tape using a mold. This type of carrier tape can only accommodate electronic components with a thickness limited by the thickness of the carrier tape itself and is generally used to package smaller components.
