Sierra Electronics Stainless-Steel SMT Splicing Shims

High-Strength Splicing Shims Designed for Older Pick-and-Place Systems and Heavy 24 mm Carrier Tapes

Sierra Electronics Stainless-Steel SMT Splicing Shims are engineered for legacy SMT lines and wide-tape applications where high tensile strength is essential. Built for older pick-and-place machines with heavy feeder tension, these shims deliver the rigidity needed for error-free splicing on 24 mm, 32 mm, and 44 mm carrier tapes.

Key Features

  • High-Strength Stainless Steel
    Prevents bending or slippage under heavy torque and strong feeder pull cycles.
  • Designed for Older SMT Platforms
    Ideal for older Fuji, Panasonic, Sanyo, Samsung, Hitachi, Mydata, and Siemens systems that rely on higher mechanical tension.
  • Perfect for Large Components
    Provides the rigidity needed for deep or heavy component pockets such as inductors, transformers, relays, and power modules.
  • Precision-Cut Using U.S. Hardened Tooling
    Manufactured with U.S.-engineered dies for accurate sprocket indexing, clean geometry, and consistent performance across long production runs.
  • Compatible with All EIA-481 Carrier Tape Standards
    Ensures smooth tracking through legacy feeders and consistent pocket positioning.
  • Excellent Feed Stability on Wide Tapes
    Maintains structural integrity on 24 mm and larger carrier tapes that demand stronger splice materials.

Precision-Cut and U.S. Manufactured

Sierra Electronics manufactures stainless-steel SMT splicing shims using hardened dies engineered by Los Alamos–trained machinists. Each shim is punched with exacting accuracy to maintain:

  • EIA-481 sprocket alignment
  • Perfect hole geometry
  • Smooth tracking through legacy feeders
  • High structural rigidity for heavy tapes

The result is a production-grade stainless-steel shim designed for the demanding loads of older SMT equipment.

A Modern Solution for Classic SMT Systems

Whether you’re running legacy Fuji CP, older Panasonic systems, Mydata TP units, early Samsung/Sanyo lines, or any heavy-pull pick-and-place platform, stainless-steel shims remain the best choice for:

  • 24 mm carrier tapes
  • 32 mm and 44 mm wide tapes
  • Large, heavy, or deep-pocket components
  • High-tension, high-durability feeders

These lines still build millions of assemblies per day worldwide—and they depend on strong, rigid splicing.
