Carrier Tape For SMT Pogo Pin Product
Carrier Tape refers to a tape-shaped product used in the field of electronic packaging. It has a specific thickness and is equidistant in its length direction with holes (also known as pockets) for holding electronic components and a Positioning holes for index positioning.
The carrier tape is mainly used in the electronic component mounting industry. It is used with cover tape (top sealing tape) to carry electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, transistors, diodes, etc. in the carrier tape pocket, and seal the cover tape above the carrier tape to form a closed package for Protect electronic components from pollution and damage during transportation. When the electronic components are mounted, the cover tape is peeled off, and the automatic mounting equipment uses the precise positioning of the index hole of the carrier tape to take out the components in the pocket one by one, and place them on the integrated circuit board (PCB board).
According to the size of the electronic components carried by the package, the carrier tape is also divided into different widths. Common widths are 8mm, 12mm, 16mm, 24mm, 32mm, 44m, 56mm, etc. With the development of the electronics market, the Pogo pin has a trend of getting smaller and smaller, and the carrier tape is also developing in the direction of precision. There is already a 4mm width carrier tape on the market.
