Abstract
A carrier tape holding electrical components to a reel around which the carrier tape is wound is provided. Furthermore, the present disclosure is related to a pick-and-place apparatus for receiving this carrier tape and for picking and placing the electrical components arranged in the carrier tape. The carrier tape according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes an adhesive film that forms a bottom wall of the cavities in which a plurality of electrical components is arranged. The adhesive of the adhesive film is configured to substantially release the attachment of the electrical component as a result of heating the adhesive and/or as a result of irradiating the adhesive using light, such as visible light, infrared light, or ultraviolet light, for the purpose of allowing the electrical component to be removed from the cavity using a pick-and-place apparatus.
