Type S Cover Tape is a transparent, heat sealable polyester cover film engineered to protect and contain surface mount components in a wide range of both conductive and non conductive carrier tapes. Type S Cover Tape’s adhesive system has been proven, with millions of meters of defect-free product manufactured and sold since 1986.
Construction
Type S Cover Tape is constructed in two layers, a 0.00092” polyester base film covering a 0.0015” heat-activated adhesive coating layer (total 0.062mm nominal).
Configurations
Type S Heat Activated Non-Antistatic Cover Tape is provided splice-free on 3” inner diameter plastic cores. Available widths include all EIA standard widths for carrier tapes from 8mm to 56mm.
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.
