Tape and Reel

Tape and Reel is a method of packaging surface mount devices (SMDs) which facilitates automated equipment.  The embossed carrier tape acts as the container for which the component sits and is then sealed with tape and wound up onto a reel. This is often the required form of packaging for all parts manufactured in tubes or trays.


Some parts have moisture sensitivity levels (MSL) requiring a baking process be implemented to retract any humidity occurring inside the part. DTR offers baking and dry packing that meet or exceed industry standards and quality procedures.

Common Questions

Do I need tape and reel?

Our typical lead time is 3-5 days.  Call us if you are in  a bind and need it sooner, if we can get it done faster then we will.
 How do I know Dominion can tape my part?
Email us your manufacturers part number and/or a data sheet so we can review it within 24 hours  and let you know.  
Does Dominion bake moisture sensitive (MSL) parts?
Yes, we do.  Dominion has a very large oven that can bake thousands of parts for days on end.   We will review your datasheet  confirming how long they need to baked for and to what moisture sensitivity level.
