Double-Sided SMT Splice Tape
FUNSMT double-sided SMT splice tape joins component carrier tapes in seconds without stopping the pick-and-place machine. Each pre-cut PET strip carries 10 embossed alignment dots that register with sprocket holes to prevent vision-system errors. Available in 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 44, and 56 mm widths — 500 pieces per box for 8–16 mm — in full-ESD, half-ESD, and non-ESD grades.
Boost your assembly line efficiency with Funsmt’s Double Splice Tapes. Engineered for speed and reliability, these pre-cut PET strips allow for rapid manual splicing of component carrier tapes—with or without specialized tools—ensuring your pick-and-place machines never stop running.
Performance Benefits & ROI
-
Maximize Machine Output: Increase your pick-and-place productivity by 5% to 30% by eliminating the need to stop and re-thread feeders during reel changes.
-
Intelligent Alignment System: Each strip features 10 precision-embossed dots on both sides. These serve as visual guides to ensure perfect synchronization with carrier tape sprocket holes, preventing vision system errors.
-
Reduce Equipment Wear: By maintaining a continuous feed, you significantly decrease mechanical abrasion on feeders caused by frequent reloading and re-indexing.
-
Versatile ESD Options: Available in three technical grades to meet your specific factory requirements: Full Anti-Static (ESD), Half Anti-Static, and Non-Anti-Static.

Professional Splicing Instructions
-
Preparation: Use a precision cutting tool to ensure a perfectly square cut on the ends of both the expiring and new carrier tapes.
-
Expose Adhesive: Peel away the release liner to reveal the high-tack adhesive surface.
-
Align: Place the cut carrier tapes (cover tape facing down) onto the first strip, using the embossed dots to align with the sprocket holes.
-
Secure: Fold the second strip over to the underside of the carrier tape and press firmly to create a high-strength bond.
-
Finish: Remove and discard the clear plastic protective cover and guide strip. The splice is now complete and feeder-ready.
Why Choose Funsmt Double Splice Tapes?
In high-speed SMT environments, a weak splice means a line stoppage. Funsmt tapes are engineered with a specific adhesive rheology that bonds instantly to both plastic and paper tapes, yet remains thin enough to pass through feeder precision gates without jamming.
Compatibility
| Feeder detection type | Machine brands |
|---|---|
| Emitter-receiver feeders | Panasonic, Yamaha, Hanwha, Juki |
| Non-detecting feeders | Europlacer, Mycronic, older Juki models |

Frequently Asked Questions
Which carrier tape widths are supported?
Standard widths are 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 44, and 56 mm. Pack quantity is 500 pieces per box for 8–16 mm and 250 pieces per box for 24 mm; wide-format tapes up to 88 mm are available on request.
What is the difference between full-ESD, half-ESD, and non-ESD grades?
Full-ESD grade provides complete static-dissipative protection for ESD-sensitive components; half-ESD is a cost-balanced option for standard lines; non-ESD suits non-sensitive applications. All three use the same high-tack, residue-free adhesive.
Do I need a special tool to apply the tape?
No. The strips are designed for manual application — cut both carrier tape ends square, align the embossed dots with the sprocket holes, and fold the second strip under the joint. A precision cutting tool improves joint consistency.
How do the 10 alignment dots work?
The embossed dots on both sides of each strip serve as visual guides. Aligning them with the carrier tape's sprocket holes keeps the joint centered, so the feeder's vision system indexes correctly and components feed without interruption.
How should splice tape be stored?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the box sealed until use to protect the adhesive, and avoid stacking heavy objects on the strips to prevent deformation.
What is the MOQ and lead time?
There is no rigid MOQ — we support trial orders as well as volume repeats. Standard sizes ship from our U.S. warehouse (San Jose, CA) in 2–3 business days; custom specifications are made to order.
