CNC / Machined Parts & Stamped Components
Traits: heavier metal parts, irregular shapes.
thicker embossed carrier tape
deep or special-shape cavities
high-strength materials (PS/PC)
SMD Nuts / Spring Clips / Busbars
Traits: strong directionality, prone to flipping.
cavity limiters and orientation guides
anti-flip structures
optimized pick-up angle
Crystals / Connectors / Switches
Traits: more complex geometry, tight tolerance needs.
high-precision embossing
strict pitch/hole control
transparent or ESD material as required
Diodes / Transistors / ICs
Traits: very small parts, ESD-sensitive, high-density feeding.
anti-static carrier tape
fine-pitch cavities
controlled cover tape peel force
The 3 Core Rules
cavity must fit and stabilize the part
sprocket pitch must match feeders (EIA-481-C)
material & cover tape must seal correctly
Conclusion
Choosing the right carrier tape reduces line problems and saves cost. A professional source factory should help you match tape design to both component and equipment.
