More off-the-shelf 3M carrier and cover tape than anyone in the business
Why specify Polycarbonate carrier tape?
Polycarbonate is superior to polystyrene in several major ways
- Polycarbonate provides better defined pockets, flatter and more level bottoms, straighter walls, crisper corners.
- Polycarbonate provides better dimensional control (tighter tolerances) for fine pitch WLCSP's
- You get a better, more consistent seal resulting in a lower, smoother peel force.
NPI specializes in 3M carrier tape for chip and wafer scale packaging. These dimensions, below 1.5 mm, require a tighter tolerance than is possible with normal polystyrene tape. The pocket profile is exact, helping these components to seat and remain seated while being presented to the pick head.
