Tape-and-Reel-Service for Electronic Components

Smooth assembly of electronic components on your circuit boards

Streamlining Production: A Guide to Tape and Reel Service for electronic components

In the high-speed world of electronics manufacturing, efficiency reigns supreme. Tape and reel service for electronic component plays a crucial role in streamlining the assembly process, ensuring smooth component handling and placement on Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). This article delves into the world of tape and reel service, its significance, and key factors to consider when selecting an external vendor.

Semitron's Tape and Reel Services - first-class and competent

Semitron’s tape and reel services are designed to provide precision, reliability, and efficiency for all your component handling needs. With advanced monitoring systems, rigorous quality assurance, and versatile taping options, we ensure that your components are ready for seamless production. Our close collaboration with tape suppliers allows us to produce custom tapes economically and rapidly, tailored to meet specific customer needs. Trust Semitron to deliver the highest standards in tape and reel services, tailored to meet your specific requirements.

Precision Monitoring and Inspection

During the tape and reel process, precision is paramount. An integrated 2D camera system monitors the positioning, marking, and pin alignment of components, ensuring they are correctly placed. Our automated tape and reel handling systems are equipped with advanced 3D-Leadscan cameras capable of measuring connector pins with micrometer accuracy. This meticulous attention to detail guarantees that every component is precisely aligned and ready for assembly.

Ongoing Quality Assurance & wide range of taping options

Quality is at the heart of Semitron’s tape and reel services. Continuous inspection processes ensure that the materials meet high standards. We monitor cover tape peel forces to guarantee smooth production, preventing issues during the assembly phase. This ongoing quality assurance provides our customers with confidence in the reliability and performance of their components.

Semitron offers a wide range of taping options to accommodate various component types and packages. Our services include:

  • Axial Components: DIN IEC-286-1 standard, including diodes, resistors, and capacitors.
  • Radial Components: DIN IEC-286-2 standard, such as ELKOs, LEDs, and transistors.
  • SMD Taping: DIN EN IEC 60286-3 standard, covering SOIC, PLCC, TSOP, SSOP, QFP packages, and more.
  • Custom-Specific Packages: Tailored solutions to meet unique customer requirements.

The Process

  • Component inspection: electronic components are inspected for any physical defects or damage before being placed on the tape.
  • Tape and reel selection: The appropriate size and type of embossed carrier tape and plastic reel are chosen based on the electronic component package type (SOIC, QFN, etc.) and industry standards.
  • Component placement: The electronic components are precisely placed on the embossed carrier tape with the correct orientation and spacing for pick-and-place compatibility.
  • Process validation: Statistical sampling and visual inspection ensure proper placement and adherence to industry standards.
  • Packing and labeling: The completed tape and reel are properly labeled and packaged for safe transport and integration into the assembly line.

Frequently asked questions about Tape-And-Reel Services

Tape and reel service prepares electronic components for use in automated pick-and-place machines on Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). Here’s how it works:

  • Carrier Tape: The electronic components are mounted onto a specially designed, heat-resistant plastic tape with precise spacing and orientation.
  • Embossed Reel: The tape, loaded with electronic components, is wound onto a plastic reel that fits into automated pick-and-place machines.
  • Process Steps: The service typically includes drying the electronic componentss to prevent moisture damage, inspecting for defects, and ensuring proper orientation and placement on the tape. The finished rolls are dried from MSL 2a for components, or as specified by the customer for other components, to prevent moisture damage during the reflow soldering process.

We support tape and reel services for all devices, irrespective of whether they are purchased through our distribution services or not.

Most requests we get for tape and reel services are programming services and electrical testing. In special cases, we also perform authenticity testing and packaging services for extended life. In special cases, we also carry out authenticity tests and packaging services for an extended service life.

Generally, we can also strap larger quantities within a few days or the taping can even be carried out directly after the previous programming or testing process in the same machine. This varies based on your specific programming needs and volumes. Please be sure to indicate your timeline in your initial discussion so we can do our best to meet them.

Beyond Tape and Reel: Distribution and Additional Services

Semitron’s unique value is its combined expertise in distribution and test house services. As an authorized distributor, we offer a vast selection of parts from leading manufacturers like ADI, Microchip, and Honeywell. But we go beyond just supplying components. Our state-of-the-art facilities and test house services ensure your parts function perfectly within your specific application. Throughout the entire process, you’ll benefit from our team’s in-depth knowledge and support.

Semitron’s test house offers a variety of services beyond tape and reel services. We offer programming services and can perform various tests to ensure the quality and functionality of your electronic components. This can include optical/visual inspection, component analysis, and thermal testing. Additionally, we provide services like taping, post-processing, and mechanical modifications to cater to your specific project needs.
