Cover Tape 2679 seals electronics components in polycarbonate carrier tapes for transport or storage. Made of polyester, and features smoother peels and improved transparency for visual inspection. Heat-activated and seals with carrier tape through a heat application. Improved static-dissipative technology protects from static events during transport and storage, reducing damage to components sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Improved surface resistance and stable peel properties allow for a smooth, consistent peel from the carrier tape, reducing risk of component migration and pick-and-place error. Comes in 480-m roll format in widths ranging from 5.2 to 49.4mm. RoHS compliant.
