Electronic component carrier tape is a tape-shaped product used in the field of electronic packaging. It has a specific thickness, and pockets for holding electronic components and positioning holes for index positioning are equidistantly distributed along its length direction. When mounting electronic components, the placement machine uses the carrier tape to precisely position, take out the components in the pocket in turn, and place them on the printed circuit board in turn.
As a packaging for loading and storing electronic components, SMT carrier tape can protect electronic components from contamination and damage during transportation. Therefore, it is widely used as a plastic carrier for the packaging of SMT electronic components such as ICs, resistors, inductors, connectors, LEDs, fuses, switches, relays, connectors, diodes, and triodes.
In order to help you choose a good carrier tape manufacturer correctly, below I list the top 15 global SMT carrier tape manufacturers and their websites, profiles and products. Also, if you are looking for a PCBA manufacturer, then IBE Electronics would be a good choice.
