PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is the 3M™ Polycarbonate Carrier 3000 primarily used for?
This product is designed for high-precision applications requiring reliable carrier tape solutions. The polycarbonate construction provides durability and clarity, making it ideal for component packaging and automated handling in electronics manufacturing.
-
What does the 0.4mm pocket hole specification mean?
The 0.4mm pocket hole refers to the diameter of the holes in the carrier tape. These precisely sized holes are engineered to securely hold and position electronic components during storage, transport, and automated assembly processes.
-
How long is each roll and how many come in a case?
Each roll is 1000 meters long, and you receive 3 rolls per case, giving you 3,000 meters total per case purchase. This quantity helps keep your production lines running smoothly without frequent reordering.
-
Why would I choose polycarbonate over other carrier tape materials?
Polycarbonate offers excellent durability, superior clarity for component visibility, and outstanding dimensional stability. It also resists moisture and maintains its properties across a wide temperature range, making it ideal for demanding manufacturing environments.
-
Is the 8mm x 4mm dimension the tape width and pocket spacing?
The 8mm x 4mm refers to the tape width and pitch (pocket spacing) respectively. This standard size is widely compatible with automated component placement equipment used throughout the electronics manufacturing industry.
