Cover tape extenders are used when a reel of SMD components does not have a leader at the beginning of the reel.  

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

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