Carrier Tape > Tri-Laminate PC Type B
Advantek’s Tri-Laminate Polycarbonate (PC) carrier tape is a specially modified static dissipative polycarbonate material, offering excellent strength and high precision formability. For high speed taping applications this material offers the same strength, protection and performance as homogeneous polycarbonate material, but at a lower cost. Additionally, for high precision applications requiring sharp pocket features and flat pocket bottoms, like bare die, this material provides superior formability and strength. Advantek’s Tri-Laminate PC is available in a variety of thicknesses (0.20mm, 0.25mm and 0.30mm) depending upon your specific application’s needs.
