Sierra Electronics Panasonic® Splice Tape with Shim “Arrow Right” is engineered specifically for Panasonic SMT intelligent feeders that rely on optical splice detection and automatic reel-lot updating. Built from a matte-black, feeder-readable material, this one-piece splice assembly ensures error-free sensing so Panasonic equipment can automatically:
This splice system combines Sierra’s precision brass shim and covertape connector on a single plastic carrier, creating the fastest, most repeatable splicing method for Panasonic’s advanced platform.
Panasonic’s intelligent feeders use optical sensors that require a dark, non-reflective splice zone. Sierra’s matte-black tape meets this requirement perfectly, eliminating false reads, light reflections, or sensor misfires.
The “Arrow Right” indicator provides unambiguous alignment for operators, ensuring:
Sierra’s soft-brass shim is mounted directly onto the plastic carrier without a liner, allowing immediate attachment to the bottom side of the two carrier tapes. This ensures:
On the same carrier, the top covertape connector is pre-attached over a white release liner, which is peeled off prior to application. Once folded over:
A perforated hinge built into the carrier provides exact alignment when folding the covertape connector. After the splice is secured, the carrier is removed and discarded.
Matte-black material ensures proper detection of the splice event.
Triggers Panasonic’s internal traceability system for new reel information.
Bottom shim + upper covertape connector pre-aligned for rapid, mistake-free splicing.
Perfect for modern Panasonic lines running:
No liner, perfect hole geometry, EIA-481 compliant.
Guarantees that top and bottom tapes align with no drift.

Manufactured in Santa Fe using U.S.-grade adhesives and precision shim tooling.
No. This one plays favorites — and that’s the point. It’s specifically engineered for Panasonic 8mm carrier tapes. Use it with something else, and you’re gambling with alignment, feed accuracy, and production uptime. Stick to what works.
It’s not just some extra piece of metal. The pre-inserted shim is the backbone of the splice. It aligns the carrier tape holes perfectly, so your feeder doesn’t miss a beat. No more tape shifting, feeder errors, or scrapped boards.
That arrow isn’t decorative. It shows the correct splice direction. Sounds simple, but trust me—when you’re in a rush, visual cues like that save mistakes, time, and sanity.
Sticky enough to hold through friction, speed, and heat. Once it’s applied, it stays. No peeling, no slipping, no mid-run surprises. You’ll forget it’s even there—which is exactly how it should be.
Nope. No fancy gadgets. Just peel, place, press. Done. We made it simple because production already has enough moving parts. This shouldn’t be one of them.
Because small packs don’t cut it in real production environments. With 500 in the box, you’re not running out mid-shift or scrambling to reorder every week. Bulk means peace of mind.
Absolutely. Faster splicing. Fewer errors. Tighter alignment. All of that adds up to less line stoppage, smoother transitions, and better throughput. And yes — your bottom line will notice.
