Leader Tape Extenders Black ESD

Leader Tape Extenders in Black ESD are an efficient solution for adding leader sections to carrier tapes, making reel loading faster and more consistent. These extenders are especially useful when a reel lacks sufficient leader tape for automated feeder pickup, helping to reduce setup delays and keep production moving.

Manufactured with electrostatic discharge (ESD) safe materials, they help protect sensitive components during handling and placement. The black color provides clear contrast for operator visibility and machine recognition, while the tape’s surface allows for smooth feeding through a variety of SMT equipment.

Each extender features a strong, pre-applied adhesive strip that bonds cleanly to the existing carrier tape. The connection holds firmly under motion without creating bumps or snags that could disrupt the feed path. The material resists curling and tearing, even under frequent use or high-speed operation.

Leader Tape Extenders Black ESD are a practical addition to any SMT line, especially in setups requiring fast reel changes or extended runs. By allowing components to be loaded earlier in the feeder, these extenders support better efficiency without compromising safety or reliability.
