At TapeSplice.com, we understand the critical role high-quality splicing materials play in modern surface-mount technology (SMT) manufacturing. That is why we offer Sierra Electronics Polyester Splicing Tapes (2″ x 60 meters) — engineered for dependable performance, precision, and efficiency on every production line.
What Are Polyester Splicing Tapes?
Polyester splicing tapes are specialized adhesive tapes designed to join the end of one component reel to the beginning of another without stopping automated machinery. In high-speed SMT assembly, seamless splicing is essential to maintain continuous reel feed, prevent machine stoppages, and improve overall throughput.
These tapes use a strong polyester (Mylar) backing combined with a high-performance adhesive to create secure, gap-free bonds between carrier tapes. Whether you are running prototype builds or high-volume production, reliable splicing tape is a foundational requirement for stable feeder operation.
Key Advantages of Our Polyester Splicing Tapes
1. Designed for Continuous SMT Production
Our Polyester Splicing Tapes are supplied in a 2-inch width with a 60-meter roll length, allowing extended use and fewer roll changes during production. This format supports efficient reel splicing while minimizing interruptions on busy assembly lines.
2. High-Strength Polyester Backing
The polyester film backing provides excellent tensile strength, dimensional stability, and flexibility. This ensures the splice passes smoothly through high-speed feeders without stretching, tearing, or deforming — issues commonly found with lower-quality alternatives.
3. Very High-Performance Adhesive
Our tape uses a very high-performance adhesive system engineered to maintain strong bond integrity under continuous feeder stress. The adhesive delivers reliable shear strength and peel performance, reducing the risk of splice separation, misfeeds, or machine alarms.
4. Heat and Mechanical Stress Resistance
SMT environments expose materials to constant mechanical forces and elevated temperatures. Our Polyester Splicing Tapes are designed to maintain adhesion and stability even under demanding operating conditions, making them suitable for modern high-speed pick-and-place machines.
Why Our Polyester Splicing Tape Is Better Than the Competition
Made in the USA, No Compromises
One of the most important differentiators of our Polyester Splicing Tapes is that they are manufactured entirely in the United States under strict quality control standards. This offers several advantages over imported alternatives:
- Consistent material quality and adhesive performance
- Predictable manufacturing tolerances
- Reduced batch-to-batch variation
- Reliable domestic supply chain
- Faster shipping and better availability
- Direct manufacturer accountability
Many low-cost imported splicing tapes suffer from inconsistent adhesive behavior, variable backing thickness, and unpredictable performance. These inconsistencies can lead to feeder errors, downtime, and wasted components. Our American-made tapes are built for manufacturers who cannot afford those risks.
Ideal Polyester Splicing Tapes Applications
TapeSplice Polyester Splicing Tapes are well-suited for:
- Continuous reel splicing in SMT assembly
- High-volume electronics production
- Prototyping and low-to-mid volume builds
- Contract manufacturing environments
- Any application where feeder reliability is critical
Their balanced combination of strength, flexibility, and adhesive reliability makes them compatible with a wide range of carrier tapes and feeder systems.
Key Selling Points for Your Customers
Increase Line Uptime
Reliable splicing reduces feeder stoppages and allows production lines to run longer without interruption.
Reduce Scrap and Rework
Secure splices minimize misfeeds, part loss, and handling errors that lead to wasted components.
Improve Process Consistency
Uniform tape quality ensures predictable results across shifts, operators, and production runs.
Dependable Supply and Support
Domestic manufacturing means shorter lead times, better inventory planning, and responsive customer support.
