Antistatic Cover Tape Type AA® Heat Activated

Heat Activated Tape

Type AA® Cover Tape is an antistatic, transparent, heat sealable cover film. It is engineered to protect and contain surface mount components in embossed polystyrene carrier tapes.

• Transparent to allow post-taping inspection of components while in the pocket
• Formulated to prevent wetting
• Suitable for any heat sealing taping application
• Consistent adhesion
• Complies with EIA-481 standards
• Proven to perform with these Carrier Tape materials: Types C, X, V & T Static Dissipative Polystyrene, Types J, K, L & O Homogenous Polystyrene

Construction
Type AA® Cover Tape contains a top layer of 0.00092” thick polyester base film and a bottom layer of 0.00128” thick heat activated adhesive coating layer. Both layers are antistatic to ensure the protection of static sensitive devices.

Configurations
Type AA® Heat Activated Cover Tape is provided standard with 300, 400, 500, 600 and 1000 splice-free meters on a 3” inner diameter plastic core. Widths available include all EIA standard widths for carrier tapes between 8mm and 56mm, plus custom widths by special request.

Recommended Sealing Conditions
The detailed sealing parameters apply to single strike seal mode. Multi-strike, or overlap sealing, may require adjustment outside of these ranges.

Shelf Life and Storage
We recommend that the AA® Cover Tape be used within 24 months from the date of manufacture. Store this product in its original packaging in a climate-controlled environment with temperatures under 50°C (122° F) and relative humidity under 80%.
