Cover Tape > Type ATA™ Heat Activated Antistatic Cover Tape
Advantek’s Type ATA™ Cover Tape offers excellent clarity and highly consistent adhesion. Its smooth adhesive finish refracts little light, greatly enhancing the tape’s clarity while reducing its haze. These features improve your ability to conduct post-taping in-pocket inspection of components. ATA also works with Advantek polycarbonate carrier tape.
- Ultra clear tape to allow post-taping inspection of components while in
the pocket
- Performs within EIA-481 bonding guidelines
- Proven to perform with these Advantek Carrier Tape materials:
- Types C, X, V & T Static Dissipative Polystyrene
- Types J, K, L & O Homogenous Polystyrene
- Types G, N & Q Polycarbonate
- Halogen Free
Construction
Type ATA™ Cover Tape is constructed in two layers, a 0.0010” polyester base film over a 0.0015” heat-activated adhesive coating layer. Both layers are antistatic to protect static sensitive devices.
| Top Layer: 0.0010” Antistatic Polyester Base Film |
| Bottom Layer: 0.0015” Antistatic Adhesive Coating |
Configurations
Type ATA™ Heat Activated Cover Tape rolls are 480 splice-free meters on a 3” inner diameter plastic core.
