ISI provides a professional SMD taping and reeling service for electronics manufacturers across the United States. We handle ICs, capacitors, resistors, and a wide range of other surface-mount components, protecting them against ESD, environmental damage, and transit mishaps by placing them into carrier tape ready for direct pick-and-place line feed.
Components are managed in a controlled environment where static, humidity, and temperature are all monitored.
Kapton and polyester labeling supported alongside laser marking for lot and date coding.
3D inspection available on lead position and pitch, helping customers keep error rates low and production rates high.
Secure stock holding service for customers running call-off programs.
Bare die and wafer-level packages can be taped alongside standard SMD components. See our Bare Die Tape & Reel page for details.
All taping and reeling is carried out to EIA-481-D specification for compatibility with standard pick-and-place equipment.
A broad range of carrier tape widths and pocket profiles held in stock, with custom tooling available for non-standard components.
Batch documentation maintained from receipt through to dispatch, available on request.
Same-day turnaround is our standard delivery target for most taping and reeling orders.
Tape and reel is the process of packaging electronic components into individual carrier tape pockets, sealed with heat or pressure cover tape, then wound onto an industry-standard reel for loading onto pick-and-place equipment.
Tape widths from 4mm to 200mm are available, with spacing between components from 2mm upward. Standard reel diameters include 7-inch for small components and 13-inch for larger items.
Our processing is carried out to EIA-481-D, with handling in line with JESD625-A (ESD-sensitive device handling) and IEC 61340-5-1 (electrostatic protection).
Yes. Many customers combine IC programming with taping and reeling, receiving programmed devices back on tape to their exact pitch and reel specification.
