Cover tape extenders are used when a reel of SMD components doesn’t have a leader at the beginning of the reel.  Without the leader, components are often discarded or have to be repackaged before being used.  

The tape extenders add an additional 508mm (20”) of tape as a leader and feed into SMT placement equipment as a piece of cover tape. 

Can be used with either paper or plastic tape, punched or formed pockets, from 8 - 44mm width.
