Tape-and-reel is the preferred method of feeding electronic components for automated SMT assembly because of ease of use and high repeatability. Everything from resistors to BGAs to odd-form components is packaged in tape-and-reel. But costs of feeder setup - some hidden - can drain profits through lost inventory and production time. Reel splicing kits can dramatically improve reel setup and changeover efficiencies to improve any PCB assembly operation's bottom line.
