Carrier Tape

V-TEK provides custom designed carrier tape pockets to your exact device dimensions.
All carrier tape is manufactured in accordance with EIA standards and made from three primary materials:
Polycarbonate: A black plastic material with tighter tolerances for better part capture. It is used primarily for smaller and thinner electrostatically-sensitive electrical and electronic devices. Polycarbonate carrier tape is available in non-conductive (NCPC), static-dissipative (SDPC), and conductive (CPC) formats.
Polystyrene: The most commonly used material for carrier tape. It is used for larger components requiring less precise pocket forms. Polystyrene carrier tape is available in static-dissipative (SDPS), and conductive (CPS) formats.
Paper: Paper tape is used for passive components, typically in the 0201 up to 1210 device size range. It is available in half-punched or press pocket format.
