Collection: Cover Tape Extenders

Cover tape extenders, also called leader tape, add length to an SMT reel that has little or no leader, so the feeder can load without wasting components.

Choose blue or yellow, or black ESD-safe for static-sensitive parts. All are pre-cut strips, and the black comes in sizes from 4mm to 56mm.

For carrier tape, see the SMT carrier tape extender (8mm to 44mm), and use the ESD reel sealer to prevent reels from unravelling.
