Sierra Electronics’ SMT Splice Shim Cartridge is the industry’s most precise and reliable splicing solution for high-volume SMT assembly. Each cartridge contains 20 brass splice shims, punched using Chicago Cutting Die Company tooling and engineered to run flawlessly in our Stapler-Style / Semi-Automatic SMT Splicing Tool—built in Santa Fe, NM by Los Alamos machinists using hardened carbide cutters.
Unlike the imported Chinese copper shim frames that flood the market, Sierra’s U.S.-made brass shims hold their tooth geometry, maintain perfect alignment, and deliver jam-free performance in modern pick-and-place systems running 0201 and 01005 components.
This is the professional-grade, American-built SMT splicing solution trusted by aerospace, medical, defense, and high-reliability manufacturing.
20-Splice Brass Shim Cartridge
High-capacity frame lets operators run 20 consecutive splices before reloading, reducing downtime on busy SMT lines.
Precision-Cut Using Chicago Cutting Die Tooling
Made in the USA – No Copper Imports
Chinese copper shims deform, crush under pressure, and cause feeder jams.
Sierra Electronics’ brass shims maintain strength, tooth shape, and splice flatness under all feeder loads.
Compatible With All Major Pick-and-Place Platforms
Runs perfectly on Fuji, Panasonic, Siemens / ASM, Mycronic, Yamaha, Juki, Samsung, Sanyo, Hitachi, Assembleon, and Philips.
Built for Sierra’s Stapler-Style / Semi-Automatic Splicing Tool
Machined in Santa Fe by Los Alamos precision machinists.
