SMT Splice Tape is an assembly equipment commonly used in surface mount technology. It is used to transport electronic components from the feeding position to the placement position to achieve automated production processes. The types of SMT Splice Tapes can be mainly classified according to material and function. 1. Classification according to materials 1.1 Plastic splicing tape: This is the most common splicing tape. It is made of plastic material and can provide good electrical insulation properties and good mechanical strength. The plastic splicing tape can fix the components with hot glue or double-sided tape to ensure the stability of the components. Common plastic splicing materials include PE, PVC, PET, etc. 1.2 Metal splicing tape: Metal splicing tape is usually used for some components that require high conductivity, such as LED lamp beads. Metal splicing strips can provide better electrical conductivity, effectively reduce resistance and improve current conduction efficiency. Common metal splices include aluminum, copper, etc.
2. Classification according to functions 2.1 Surface tension adjustment: The surface tension adjustment splicing tape can keep the components in the appropriate position by adjusting the surface tension of the splicing tape. This type of splicing tape is usually used for smaller components or specially shaped components to ensure that they do not fall off during transportation. 2.2 ESD handling: ESD SMT Splice Tape can effectively reduce the impact of static electricity on components. This splicing tape is usually made of conductive material that can conduct electricity and protect components from electrostatic damage. 2.3 Dust-proof treatment: Dust-proof splicing tape can effectively reduce the entry of dust and impurities. This splicing tape is usually made of materials with better sealing properties to avoid dust from having adverse effects on components. 2.4 Splicing tape with infrared sensor: This splicing tape is equipped with an infrared sensor, which can monitor the position of components in real time and send out signals in time to ensure that the components are correctly transported to the placement position. In addition to the above categories, there are also some other special types of splicing tapes to choose from, such as SMT Double Splice Tape, special splicing tapes for printed circuit boards, etc. These splicing tapes are constantly being innovated and improved with the advancement of technology and the continuous development of industry needs.
