Pressure Sensitive Cover Tape
Pressure Sensitive Cover Tape is a high-performance sealing solution that is designed to keep electronic components encapsulated in carrier tapes without heat activation. It is pressure-sensitive adhesive-based, which provides a hard and consistent bond to maintain surface-mount devices (SMDs) in a stable condition during shipping, storage, and automated assembly.
This clear cover tape is widely used in tape-and-reel packaging for high transparency to permit clear viewing of components in electronics production. It is applicable for use with numerous carrier tape materials and is also available in electrostatic discharge (ESD) protective grades for electronic component handling when sensitivity is a concern. Its ease of application and its consistent sealing characteristics make it a required choice for PCB assembly, semiconductor packaging, and automated component feeding.
