The development of SMT components and the relationship between SMT components and carrier tape have brought great changes to electronic products in the last century

  At present, most PCBs more or less adopt this production technology of low cost, high efficiency and reducing the volume of PCB. SMT is widely used, which promotes the development of SMD surface mount devices It is inevitable that the original jack components will be replaced by SMD components.

At the same time, people demand small volume and multi-function of electronic products such as mobile phones and computers It also promotes the development of SMD element to high integration and miniaturization. In addition to other transport carriers such as pallets, plastic pipes, etc ◠ SMD components must also have the transport carrier required for high-speed automatic application on the SMT machine – SMD tape carrying system.

 From the protection, economy, capacity and other aspects The tape carrier system also has advantages: This is why most of the carriers of SMD components seen on the SMT production line are paper and plastic substrates of the tape carrier system. The requirements for the tape carrier system: 

      1. Firstly, high precision requirements are put forward for the carrier band. After the resistance, capacitance and inductance of the three element source components  change from long pin to SMD  the volume continues to shrink. Now 0402 package has appeared. 0201 package will be widely used in the near future. In terms of SMT equipment, 0201 equipment has also appeared. The miniaturization of these components drives the change of belt carrying system.

      2. Secondly, the speed of taking and placing components and discrete components by SMT machine is faster and faster, and one cycle has been less than 0.09 seconds, which puts forward the requirement of high tensile strength for the strength of the carrier

      3. Third, it puts forward requirements for reducing cost and improving density packaging. The packaging spacing is 2mm, usually 4mm  G

      4. Finally, anti-static protection. Because the components are very small and easy to be adsorbed by static electricity, the SMT machine can’t get the components or the components turn upside down
