LZ607 is a 12mm wide transparent PC carrier tape designed for Ichuan’s large-size KJSMA SMD components. Unlike narrow 8mm tapes, KJSMA components have longer outlines that demand wider tape width and deeper, larger cavities. The transparent PC material enables operators and automated vision equipment to inspect component placement, tilting and surface defects directly through the tape without peeling cover tape, greatly simplifying in-line quality control procedures. The thickened 0.23mm substrate improves anti-warp performance, solving the common bending deformation issue of thin-base wide carrier tapes during winding and shipping.
Core Specifications (Compliant with EIA-481 Industry Standards)
| Parameter Name | EIA-481 Industry Standard (mm) | Hatro Custom Parameter (mm) | Practical Advantages |
|---|---|---|---|
| W (Tape Width) | 12±0.10 | 12 | Compatible with all mainstream 12mm wide tape taping machines and high-speed SMT placement equipment, stable feeding without lateral deviation |
| P1 (Feed Hole Pitch) | 4±0.10 | 4 | Standard 4mm sprocket pitch matches global SMT machine standards, eliminates tape jamming during continuous high-speed operation |
| T (Base Thickness) | 0.23±0.02 | 0.23 | Thickened substrate boosts structural rigidity, effectively prevents tape warping and curling after long-time roll storage |
| A0 (Cavity Width) | 3.07±0.05 | 3.07 | Matches horizontal width of KJSMA large components, restricts left-right displacement inside the pocket |
| B0 (Cavity Length) | 5.80±0.05 | 5.80 | Custom long cavity fits the full length of KJSMA components, stops front-back sliding and component overturn |
| K0 (Cavity Depth) | 2.35±0.05 | 2.35 | Deep cavity fully accommodates the height of large KJSMA parts, avoids component extrusion and surface scratch |
| D1 (Draft Angle) | 1.50 | 1.50 | Wide demolding angle ensures smooth mold release during production and easy suction nozzle pick-up at SMT station |
Key Advantages
- Ultra-Transparent PC for Unobstructed Visual QC: Clear transparent substrate allows manual and AI vision inspection of component status inside cavities, reducing cover tape waste from frequent quality spot checks.
- Thickened 0.23mm Rigid Base: Solves the easy-warp defect of ordinary thin 12mm carrier tapes, maintains flatness after months of reel stacking and cold storage.
- Oversized Custom Cavity for KJSMA Large Components: 3.07×5.80×2.35mm large pocket fully wraps KJSMA parts, no edge collision or component tilting during transport.
- 1.50° Wide Demolding Angle: Suits large heavy components, prevents parts from being stuck in cavities during SMT pick-and-place to cut empty pick downtime.
- Complete 12mm Wide-Width Supporting Accessories: Matching wide cover tape and large-diameter plastic reels are available in one order, 3-day fast mold sampling for size adjustment of special KJSMA variants.
Application Scenarios
- Ichuan KJSMA large-size SMD electronic components packaging
- Wide-width 12mm taping production lines with mandatory online visual inspection
- Industrial control modules, power equipment components, medium-power electronic component mass assembly
Q&A
Q: What is the biggest advantage of transparent PC tape LZ607 over black carrier tape for KJSMA components?
A: Transparent material allows real-time visual inspection without tearing cover tape. Factories with strict incoming and in-line QC can directly check component offset, missing parts and surface flaws through the tape, saving massive cover tape consumption and improving inspection efficiency significantly.
Q: Why adopt a thickened 0.23mm base instead of standard 0.20mm for 12mm wide tape?
A: Wider 12mm tapes have weaker structural stability than 8mm narrow tapes; thin substrates easily curl and warp after long winding. The 0.23mm thickened base greatly enhances bending resistance, keeping the tape flat during taping, storage and SMT feeding to avoid machine feeding faults.
