Embossed carrier tape provides protection to integrated circuits and other devices from physical and electro-static discharge (ESD) damage during shipping and storage. Carrier tape is widely used for presenting devices to pick-and-place machines for automatic placement onto printed circuit boards. Junan`s carrier tape can incorporate containment features found in more expensive shipping media. This provides fragile devices – such as QFP’s, chip scale packages and bare die – protection from physical damage.
