Antistatic Cover Tape Type ATA™ Heat Activated

Heat Activated Tape

Type ATA™ Cover Tape offers excellent clarity and highly consistent adhesion. Its smooth adhesive finish refracts little light, greatly enhancing the tape’s clarity while reducing its haze. These features improve your ability to conduct post-taping in-pocket inspection of components. ATA also works with polycarbonate carrier tape.

  • Halogen Free, ultra clear tape to allow post-taping inspection of components while in the pocket
  • Performs within EIA-481 bonding guidelines
  • Proven to work effectively with the following Carrier Tape materials: Types C, X, V & T Static Dissipative Polystyrene, Types J, K, L & O Homogenous Polystyrene, Types G, N & Q Polycarbonate

Construction
Type ATA™ Cover Tape is constructed in two layers, a 0.0010” polyester base film over a 0.0015” heat-activated adhesive coating layer. Both layers are antistatic to protect static sensitive devices.

Configurations
Type ATA™ Heat Activated Cover Tape rolls are 480 splice-free meters on a 3” inner diameter plastic core.

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.
