SMT Single Splice Tape

SMT Single Splice Tape is a specialized adhesive tape used in SMT assembly to splice the end of an empty component reel to the beginning of a new reel. Unlike double splice tape—which features adhesive on both sides—single splice tape typically has adhesive on only one side. This design is suited to specific machine requirements and production conditions. The SMT single splice tape’s adhesive is applied on one side, which is ideal when the splicing process or feeder system is designed for single-sided bonding. This can simplify the splicing process in some setups and reduce material costs. By creating a seamless leader tape, SMT single splice tape helps ensure that the pick-and-place machine can maintain an uninterrupted supply of components. This minimizes downtime and reduces waste associated with reel changes. Single splice tape is available in various widths (e.g., 8mm, 12mm, 16mm, etc.) to match the tape specifications of different component reels and feeders. In certain production environments, using single splice tape can be more economical compared to double splice tape, particularly when the feeder system is calibrated for a single adhesive layer.
Integrating the Dobeter’s SMT single splice tape into your assembly line can help maintain continuous component feeding, reduce waste, and optimize production efficiency when the machine’s splicing system is configured for single-sided adhesive tape.
