13-inch plastic reels are widely used in the surface mount device (SMD) industry with several key applications and functions:
1.Component Storage & Transport: The 13" plastic reel is designed for the safe storage and transport of SMD components such as resistors, capacitors and integrated circuits. Its size allows for efficient storage of large quantities of components.
2.Automated assembly: The reel format is compatible with automatic placement machines, which are commonly used in SMD assembly processes. This allows components to be quickly and accurately placed on printed circuit boards (PCBs).
3. Component protection: The plastic reel provides protection for components during transportation and storage, preventing damage caused by dust, moisture and physical shock.
4. Standardization: The 13-inch size is an industry standard, making it easier for manufacturers and suppliers to handle and replace parts. This standardization helps streamline the production process.
5. Easy to operate: The reel is designed to easily handle and feed components into assembly machines, making the manufacturing process more efficient.
Overall, 13-inch plastic reels play a vital role in the SMD industry, aiding in the efficient storage, transportation, and assembly of electronic components.
We are pleased to inform you that our three pieces type of 13” reels are also available in white color. Each reel set contains two flanges and one hub. The reels are delivered un-assembled and require simple manual assembly before use. Please contact our sales team for a free quote.
