A splice failure is not just a nuisance — it stops production cold. Sierra Electronics prevents that failure long before a reel reaches your SMT line.
We test and certify every TapeSplice™ product to:
Splice strength is proven using 24-hour and 72-hour sustained load testing, simulating aggressive high-CPH feeders.
If a splice survives 3 days under load — it survives millions of pick cycles.
24-Hour High-Tension Validation
| Condition | Requirement | Sierra Result |
|---|---|---|
| Static load | 500 g | PASS |
| Adhesive joint slip | 0% | PASS |
| Cover tape retention | 100% | PASS |
72-Hour Extended Splice Endurance
| Condition | Requirement | Sierra Result |
|---|---|---|
| Static load | 1,000 g | PASS |
| Pitch/geometry deviation | None observed | PASS |
| Visible lift or curl | 0% | PASS |
Real-world peel-force testing:
We machine-test peel force in a controlled environment to confirm:
Zero-jam, zero-scrap performance – verified every batch.
Electrostatic discharge damage is silent and expensive.
We test:
Hole indexing + tape thickness are measured to protect:
Only perfect geometry enters the SMT machine.
Your production is protected from restricted materials:
Sierra Electronics delivers:
Protect the handoff. Protect the line.
