The tape splicing tool for clips on lead frame can be used with either paper or plastic tape, punched or formed pockets, any cover tape, and all tape widths. The clip and carrier tape are aligned and secured in the tool using sprocket hole locating pins and spring loaded pressure clips. This tool uses clips on lead frame similar to a stapler and does 20 splices before needing to be reloaded. The consistency of the splice is not operator dependent because everything is locked in place by the tool. This model is used for clips on lead frame only.
