Product Name: Mild Self‑Adhesive Cover Tape with Adhesive Edges (1.2mm / 1.5mm) | Electronic Carrier Tape Cover Tape
Product Overview
This product is a mild self‑adhesive cover tape specially designed for electronic component carrier tape packaging. Made of high‑quality transparent PET substrate with adhesive edge widths of 1.2mm or 1.5mm, it offers stable adhesion, excellent anti‑static properties, and high transparency. Suitable for SMT carrier tape sealing of IC chips, LEDs, crystal oscillators, sensors, connectors, and other electronic components – no heating required, it can be applied by pressure at room temperature. Especially ideal for heat‑sensitive components and manual / semi‑automatic packaging lines. The adhesive edge design ensures that the adhesive is only present along the two edges of the carrier tape, leaving a glue‑free zone in the middle, preventing adhesive contact with components and leaving no residue upon peeling.

Product Advantages
1. Adhesive Edge Design – Component Protection
- Adhesive is applied only along the two edges of the cover tape (1.2mm or 1.5mm)
- The center is a glue‑free zone where the component sits
- When peeling, the adhesive does not contact the component – no damage to component surface or leads
2. Mild Adhesion – Stable Peel Force
- Moderate tack (low / slight tack) – easy to peel
- Uniform and consistent peel force – no fluctuations
- Ensures the cover tape stays sealed during transport while allowing smooth peeling on the machine
3. No Adhesive Bleed, No Adhesive Break
- Precision coating process – clean, well‑defined adhesive edges
- No adhesive overflow that could contaminate the cover tape surface or components
- No adhesive break or separation during long‑term storage or transport
4. Anti‑Static Performance
- Surface resistance 10⁶ – 10⁹ Ω
- Effectively dissipates static charge – protects sensitive electronic components
- Suitable for cleanrooms and ESD‑protected environments
5. Transparent Design – Easy Inspection
- High transparency – component status visible at a glance
- Visual inspection possible without peeling the cover tape
- Compatible with AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) systems
6. Room‑Temperature Application – No Heating Required
- Pressure‑sensitive self‑adhesive – applied at room temperature
- Reduces equipment cost (no heat sealing equipment needed)
- Suitable for packaging heat‑sensitive components

- Apply pressure of 2‑4 kg/cm² using a pressure roller or laminator
- Apply at room temperature – no heating required
2. Peeling Method:
- Normal peeling by SMT cover tape peeling mechanism
- For manual peeling, peel at 180° angle uniformly
3. Recommended Application Pressure:
| Carrier Tape Width | Recommended Pressure |
|---|---|
| 8‑16mm | 2‑3 kg/cm² |
| 24‑44mm | 3‑4 kg/cm² |
| 56mm and above | 4 kg/cm² |
Usage Precautions
- Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry place (15‑30℃, 40‑70% RH), away from direct sunlight, high temperature, and high humidity.
- Moisture Protection: After opening, it is recommended to use the entire reel at once. If not fully used, reseal for moisture protection.
- ESD Protection: Ensure equipment is properly grounded during use.
- Avoid Contamination: Keep the cover tape surface and adhesive edges away from oil, dust, and other contaminants that may affect adhesion.
- Shelf Life: Use within 12 months of unopened original packaging. After expiry, re‑validate adhesion.
- Temperature Effect: Adhesion may decrease at low temperatures (<10℃). Allow to return to room temperature before use.
Packaging Method
- Winding: Customer‑specified length per reel (100m, 200m, 300m, 480m, 500m, etc.)
- Reel Size: Standard plastic reel (7‑inch or 10‑inch) compatible with cover tape width
- Inner Packaging: Anti‑static aluminum foil bag, vacuum or heat‑sealed
- Outer Packaging: High‑strength corrugated carton
- Labeling: Each reel/carton marked with width, adhesive edge width, length, lot number, peel force range
Width Selection Advice (9.1mm vs 9.3mm)
| Specification | Characteristic | Recommended Scenario |
|---|---|---|
| 9.1mm | Slightly narrower adhesive spacing | Conventional 12mm carrier tape |
| 9.3mm | Slightly wider spacing, strong versatility | Most common standard for 12mm carrier tape |
Both are compatible with 12mm carrier tape. 9.3mm is the industry standard – recommended as the first choice.
