In the fast paced world of electronics manufacturing, a single misstep in your SMT process can lead to costly downtime, wasted materials, and missed deadlines. One overlooked, but mission critical component of your SMT line is splice tape. Whether you’re running a high volume contract assembly house or a prototype line, selecting the right splice tape company can dramatically impact your efficiency, quality, and bottom line.
So how do you know you’re choosing the right partner?
Here’s what to look for and how Sierra Electronics checks every box.
In an era of offshore mass production in little red boxes, quality control often takes a back seat. When choosing a splice tape supplier, you want consistent quality, traceable materials, and a supply chain that won’t let you down.
Sierra Electronics proudly manufactures all our splice tape products in our Santa Fe, New Mexico factory, using premium materials sourced from reliable U.S. suppliers. That means tighter tolerances, better adhesion, and more confidence in your reel to reel splices.
Downtime costs money, every minute counts. If you’re waiting days for a red box of splice tape to ship from overseas or backordered distributors, you’re already behind. We have all products in stock. And We ship every order the same day it’s placed, so your team can keep the reels turning without disruption. Whether it’s 8mm, 12mm, 16mm, 24mm, to 72mm or specialty tape formats, your SMT line keeps running on schedule.
When things go wrong with tape splicing, it can affect component placement, and machine uptime. You need a partner who understands the mechanics of SMT, not just someone who slaps their logo on imported red box.
At Sierra Electronics, we work directly with SMT engineers and operators every day. From double splice tape with alignment jigs to leader tape extenders and tool free options, our products are designed for real world production environments.
Not every job runs on the same specs. Whether you’re a large scale OEM or a small EMS shop, you need flexibility. Look for a company that offers:
Sierra Electronics does it all because we manufacture in house and aren’t limited by a third party supplier’s inventory or MOQ policies.
With over two decades of experience supporting SMT manufacturers across North America and beyond, Sierra Electronics has become a trusted name in SMT splice solutions. We’ve earned our reputation by delivering reliable products, fast service, and expert support.
