SMT Applications & Resources
FUNSMT splice tapes join 8–56 mm carrier tapes on pick-and-place lines without stopping the feeder; leader tape extenders rescue short reel tails; Kapton tape masks and insulates through 260°C reflow. This hub collects selection guides, 10-step how-tos, supplier comparisons, industry notes, and a glossary.
