EMBOSSED CARRIER TAPE FOR ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS

An embossed carrier tape for electronic components includes a carrier body (10). The carrier body (10) has a first conductive layer (11) being 10% to 20% by volume, a second conductive layer (13) being 10% to 20% by volume, and a tension-withstanding layer (12) being 60% to 80% by volume. The first and second conductive layer (11, 13) are manufactured by conductive materials. The tension-withstanding layer (12) has greater tensile strength than does the first conductive layer (11), and the tension-withstanding layer (12) has greater tensile strength than does the second conductive layer (13). When the embossed carrier tape is mounted on an automatic pick-and-place machine and a tensile force is subject to the embossed carrier tape upon movement of the embossed carrier tape, the tension-withstanding layer (12) provides sufficient tensile strength to keep the form of the embossed carrier tape intact. Thus, subsequent production processes associated with the electronic components can be smoothly and continuously performed without interruption thereto.
