Precision-Molded | ESD-Safe | EIA-481 Compliant | Made for High-Speed SMT
Sierra Electronics 8mm SMD Component Reels are engineered for the most common and highest-volume surface mount devices used in automated assembly. Designed for maximum feeder density and nonstop production, these reels support chip resistors, capacitors, diodes, and miniature semiconductors — the components that drive throughput on every SMT line.
Built in the USA at our Santa Fe facility, each reel delivers the mechanical accuracy required for high-speed pick-and-place systems operating above 40,000 CPH, ensuring stable feeding, precise indexing, and consistent component presentation.
Key Performance Advantages
EIA-481 Compliant
Maintains strict dimensional tolerances for pocket alignment, pitch accuracy, and feeder indexing — preventing costly misfeeds and jams.
Anti-Static, ESD-Controlled DuPont Material
Protects sensitive components against charge buildup through controlled surface resistance suitable for ESD-restricted assembly floors.
Optimized for Uptime & Speed
Smooth edges, stable sidewall geometry, and durable hubs support continuous reel rotation and vibration resistance under high-acceleration cycles.
Feeder-Maximizing Format
8mm reels account for 60%–75% of all SMT component usage, making them the most efficient and space-optimized choice for mass production.
