When it comes to modern electronics assembly, Surface-Mount Technology (SMT) continues to set the standard for speed, precision, and mass production flexibility. Whether you’re an electronics manufacturer, PCB assembler, or prototyping specialist, the right tooling and consumables make all the difference—and that includes your SMT reels.
At Sierra Electronics, we’re dedicated to supplying top-quality SMT component reels tailored for diverse SMT and pick-and-place machines. Our reels meet rigorous industry standards, ensuring smooth component handling from start to finish.
SMT reels are essential carriers used to hold and feed components into automated pick-and-place machinery. As part of the tape-and-reel packaging system, they allow for efficient, high-speed placement of SMD (surface-mount device) components onto printed circuit boards (PCBs).
Quality SMT reels help:
Whether you’re assembling microchips, resistors, capacitors, LEDs, or other SMD parts, reliable reels ensure your SMT line keeps moving and remains cost-effective.
At Sierra Electronics, our SMT reels are designed with durability and performance in mind. The materials used and manufacturing standards adhered to result in reels that are:
We supply both standard and custom reels, ensuring you can find the right size and configuration for any project or product line.
Our reels are ESD-safe, built for durability, and available in multiple sizes to suit 8mm, 12mm, 16mm, 24mm, and wider tape widths.
To make your selection process even easier, our SMT reels now include detailed dimension graphics, giving you instant visual reference when choosing the right reel for your setup.
Our SMT reels are compatible with most leading SMT pick-and-place systems, including Samsung, Hitachi, Juki, Yamaha, Fuji, and Panasonic. Whether you’re operating long SMT production runs or adapting to shorter prototype builds, our reels support consistent tape feeding for 8mm, 12mm, 16mm, 24mm, and wider tape widths.
With the increase in global electronics demand, every second saved in your SMT workflow counts. Our reels make it easy to prepare, store, and dispense SMD components with minimal disruption.
From high-volume EMS (electronic manufacturing services) to compact R&D setups, our SMT reels pair perfectly with:
Whether you’re upgrading your existing SMT line or setting up a new one, our reels can help ensure efficiency, speed, and reliability in component feeding.
To complement your SMT component reels, we also offer:
All designed to work together to maximize the uptime and productivity of your SMT operations.
