SMT Double Splice Tape

SMT Double Splice Tape is a specialized adhesive tape used in surface mount technology assembly to join the end of an empty component reel to the beginning of a new reel. This process is essential to maintain a continuous feed of components into the pick-and-place machine, thereby minimizing downtime and reducing waste. Unlike standard splice tapes, double splice tape features adhesive on both sides to create a stronger, more secure bond between the tape ends. This robust adhesion helps ensure that the splice remains intact even under the mechanical stresses of high-speed feeding. By providing a seamless connection, double splice tape prevents the loss of components that can occur when the leader tape is too short. This results in more consistent and reliable component placement during production. Dobeter’s SMT Double Splice Tape is designed for the fast-paced environment of modern SMT lines, the SMT Double Splice Tape helps reduce setup time during reel changes. This efficiency is critical in high-volume manufacturing. Our SMT double splice tapes are available in various widths (commonly 8mm, 12mm, 16mm, 24mm, etc.) to match the specific requirements of different component tapes and feeder systems, the SMT Double Splice Tape is used when a component reel runs out, allowing for a quick splice with a new reel so that production can continue uninterrupted, with an effective splice, fewer components are wasted during the reel change process, which can lead to significant cost savings over time.
