The cover tape is the film that seals the carrier tape<\/a> and holds the component within its cavity until the feeder ejects it. It sounds simple, and it's where a line most often stops.<\/p> The parameter that determines whether it works is not the material: it's the detachment force<\/strong>. We have both sealing families in stock in Mexico, for carriers from 8 to 88 mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n There are two ways to attach the cover tape to the carrier, and they are not interchangeable:<\/p> We handle both in all inventory widths. If you're unsure which one your line uses, you can check the sealing machine: if it has heating and temperature control, it's heat sealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n If the cover tape is pulled off with too little force, the component will fall out of the cavity before reaching the nozzle. If it is pulled off with too much force, the tape will pull the part, dislodge it, or the cover tape will break and stop the line.<\/p> That's why EIA-481<\/strong> It doesn't leave it to the provider's discretion. It sets a range based on the carrier's bandwidth:<\/p> And it also specifies how it is measured, which is equally important: at room temperature, tilting at an angle of 175\u00b0 to 180\u00b0<\/strong> already a speed of 300 \u00b1 10 mm\/min<\/strong>. A measurement taken at a different angle or speed yields a number that cannot be compared to anything.<\/p> When a reel fails in the feeder and the measurements are fine, this is almost always the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n If it's in stock and you're in the same city, it will be delivered the same day.<\/strong> It's the difference between waiting for a shipment from Asia when the line is already stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n We published a guide that cross-references carrier width, seal type, and roll length to resolve the selection without back-and-forth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Tell us the width of the carrier you're using, the type of seal on your equipment, and the quantity. With that information, we can tell you which part number is right for you and whether it's in stock. Contact us<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n The cover tape isn't chosen on its own: it has to match the carrier tape<\/a> which seals, and both travel on a reel held by flanges<\/a>. The three pieces are chosen together.<\/p> If you prefer not to manage the consumables, we deliver the component already taped and verified: this is our service. taping of components<\/a>. The complete catalog is available at ESD consumables<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n All four were diagnosed before changing suppliers, and in most cases the material was not the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Heat-sealable and self-adhesive (PSA) cover tape, from 8 to 88 mm wide and in 300 and 500 m rolls, is also available at SBC Store<\/a>, Price per unit, VAT included, and shipping throughout Mexico. If you don't know which width is compatible with your carrier, the compatibility guide on this page will tell you, and the carrier tape<\/a> It's in the same store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n How do I know if my line uses heat sealing or pressure adhesive?<\/strong> What width of cover tape do I need?<\/strong> What should the detachment force be?<\/strong> Do you carry an antistatic version?<\/strong> How long does delivery take?<\/strong> Do they sell only the consumable or also the service?<\/strong>Heat sealing or pressure adhesive<\/h2>\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n
You can tell by the sealer: if it has a heating element and temperature control, it's heat sealing. If it only applies pressure with a roller, it's PS (pressure sealing).<\/p>
It is determined by the width of the carrier tape, not the component. We handle carrier covers from 8 to 88 mm.<\/p>
Between 0.1 and 1.3 N for carriers from 12 to 56 mm, according to EIA-481, measured at 175-180\u00b0 and 300 mm\/min. Outside of that range the component comes off or the tape drags it.<\/p>
Yes, for components sensitive to electrostatic discharge.<\/p>
If the item is in stock and you are in the same city, on the same day.<\/p>
Both. You can buy the roll, or send us the component and receive it already on a reel.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":435,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-338","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sbcgroup.com.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sbcgroup.com.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sbcgroup.com.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sbcgroup.com.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sbcgroup.com.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=338"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/sbcgroup.com.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/338\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2545,"href":"https:\/\/sbcgroup.com.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/338\/revisions\/2545"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sbcgroup.com.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sbcgroup.com.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
