SMT splice tape is a precision consumable used to join the tail end of an expiring component reel to the leader of a new reel, allowing uninterrupted component feeding during active surface-mount assembly.
Selecting the correct splice tape is a mechanical decision, not a branding choice. The splice must preserve pitch accuracy, tape rigidity, feeder tension, and placement stability throughout reel transition.
Incorrect splice tape selection increases:
Proper selection supports continuous placement, stable handoff, and feeder longevity.
