Carrier Tape of Plastic Precision

A precision carrier tape is a strip-shaped product used in the field of electronic packaging, which has a specific thickness and evenly distributed holes (also known as pockets) for holding electronic components along its length. It is mainly used in the industrial application of electronic component mounting, where it is used in conjunction with tape or cover tape to carry and collect a series of small electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, transistors, and diodes, and package them in the pockets of the thin carrier tape. The precision carrier tape is then sealed with the tape or cover tape to form a closed package, which is used to protect the electronic components from contamination and damage during transportation. During the mounting process, the tape or cover tape is peeled off, and the automatic mounting equipment uses the precise positioning holes on the carrier tape to accurately locate the components in the pockets and install them one by one on the printed circuit board, thus achieving the automatic, high-efficiency, high-reliability, and low-cost installation of chip-type electronic components in the packaging process. 

Precision tape carriers are mainly used for surface mounting of downstream electronic components, and can be widely used in ICs, resistors, inductors, capacitors, connectors, fuses, switches, relays, connectors, oscillators, diodes and other electronic components. As the types, size and performance of downstream electronic components are continuously upgraded and optimized, the precision tape carrier system used for them is also constantly developing and innovating. 

Electronic component precision carrier tape, according to the material used, is mainly divided into paper carrier tape and plastic carrier tape. Paper carrier tape has the advantages of low cost and convenient recycling and disposal, and will be preferred by electronic component manufacturers. It is mainly used for the packaging of electronic components with a thickness of no more than 1mm; when the thickness of electronic components exceeds 1mm, it is generally packaged using plastic carrier tape due to the bending conditions and thickness limitations of paper carrier tape.
