| | Tape and Reel is a process of packing surface mount devices (SMD's) by loading them into individual pockets comprising what is known as a pocket tape or carrier tape. The units are sealed in the carrier tape with a cover tape, usually by heat or pressure. The carrier tape is wound around a reel for convenient handling and transport. The reel is enclosed in a reel box before it is finally shipped to the customer.
Packing units by Tape and Reel also facilitates automated retrieval and mounting of the components on the application board during customer manufacturing. Taping and reeling of SMD's is the counterpart of packing non-SMD's in tubes.
