Abstract
The present invention utilizes multiple and split pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) tape stratums for carrier tape packaging systems to receive, retain and release small components in automated assembly processing. A carrier tape includes many small apertures which extend through the thickness of the carrier tape. Each aperture is designed to carry a small component. The present invention utilizes a pair of parallel lengths of pressure sensitive tape which are separated by a gap to retain each component within its respective aperture.
