How to Choose carrier and cover tapes for tape-and-reel packaging is often an afterthought.

 

Putting some thought into choosing the right carrier and cover
tapes can help manufacturers balance the need for product quality
with the desire to control cost.

Electronic component manufacturers may not
view feeder packaging as adding value to their product.

Carrier and cover tape are considered as pure cost, so the cheaper, the better.

However, proper carrier and cover tape selection will minimize part
migration, flipping and sticking during transportation, and mis-picks
during the pick-and-place process, preventing product and productiv-
ity losses during SMT assembly.

Carrier and cover tapes can also pro-
tect sensitive devices against damage due to electrostatic discharge
(ESD).
