Advantek, Inc.

Advantek's STATLOK® (static shielding) and DRYLOK® (moisture barrier and static shielding) bags are specifically designed for the safe packaging of static-, dust- and moisture-sensitive devices. For details about each product in our line of barrier bags, please select a data sheet:

Surftape is a unique form of punched carrier tape where the component is placed on a sticky backing within a compartment boundary. The adhesive base securely holds devices in the position they are placed until it is removed, eliminating the need for cover tape. Surftape is designed to conform to many international engineering standards: EIA 481, EIA 747, IEC 60286-3, and JIS C 0806

Cover tape is sealed to the carrier tape to hold the devices in the pockets. Advantek offers a full range of heat activated and pressure sensitive cover tapes to deliver desired sealing results. Because many surface-mount components need protection from ESD, we provide cover tapes with anti-static properties, creating an ESD-safe environment inside the pocket of the carrier tape. Many of our cover tapes provide exceptional clarity for in-pocket lead inspection and the strength needed for high speed throughput.

Bands provide additional protection for components packed in carrier tape and wound on a reel. PROBANDS™ are slightly wider than the carrier tape and protect the components by fully covering the carrier tape on the reel. LOKBANDS® attach to the outer edges of the reel, adding extra strength to the package. both bands have anti-static properties that provide ESD protection.

Advantek VAPLOK™ Desiccants protect moisture-sensiive devices by absorbing airborne moisture particles which may be present inside a moisture barrier bag after vacuum packaging. Meets EIA Std. 583 and MIL-D-3464, Type I and II. Desiccant material can be either Clay or Silica Gel Completes moisture protection when used with Advantek Humidity Indicator Cards and DRYLOK® Moisture Barrier Bags for superior protection For more details, please view this data sheet:

Embossed carrier tape provides protection to integrated circuits and other devices from physical and electro-static discharge (ESD) damage during shipping and storage. Carrier tape is widely used for presenting devices to pick-and-place machines for automatic placement onto printed circuit boards. Advantek's carrier tape can incorporate containment features found in more expensive shipping media. This provides fragile devices—such as QFP's, chip scale packages and bare die—protection from physical abuse. Included in our line of carrier tape is Advantek SFT™, our Sharp Form Tape for precision applications, which can be processed in a clean-room environment. Near-vertical sidewall draft angles help prevent part migration as well as abrasion caused by contact with device edges. SFT™ pocket bottoms are flat to provide horizontal device confinement and presentation to pick-and-place equipment.
