Plastic reel

1.Product Overview

Plastic reels, also known as plastic spools or I-shaped wheels, are essential support devices for electronic components, precision wires, and SMT automated manufacturing processes.This product is manufactured from high-quality engineering plastics (such as PS, ABS, PC, etc.) and features excellent dimensional accuracy, superior mechanical strength, and outstanding anti-static performance.Widely used in the fixed-length winding and automated packaging of resistors, capacitors, inductors, connectors, enameled wires, and data cables, it serves as a critical consumable that ensures safe and efficient handling during transportation, storage, and high-speed SMT assembly processes.

2. Key Features

High-precision tolerance: manufactured using precision mold injection molding, featuring a smooth surface and standardized hole diameters to ensure perfect compatibility with automated equipment (e.g., surface mount printers, winding machines) and stable operation without jamming.

Excellence in physical properties: high strength and toughness, impact and shock resistance, effectively protecting internal components from compression damage; heat-resistant and aging-resistant, suitable for complex process environments such as reflow soldering.

Anti-static design: Available in multiple materials including conductive, anti-static, and insulating options.The surface resistance value remains stable and controllable, preventing electrostatic discharge damage to sensitive components and ensuring high yield rates for electronic products.

Environmental-friendly material: Complies with international standards such as RoHS and REACH, halogen-free, non-toxic, odorless, and recyclable for some models.

Customized Services: Supports customized colors (e.g., transparent, black, blue), sizes (from 7 inches to 15 inches or larger), hole diameters, and surface printing of corporate logos.

4. Applications

SMT component carrier reels (for resistors, capacitors, inductors, and IC chips).

Common Questions (FAQ)

Q: What materials are available for plastic film reels?

A: Common materials include PS (low cost, high rigidity), ABS (good toughness, impact-resistant), and PC (high strength, heat-resistant).Anti-static properties are typically achieved by adding carbon black or additives to the material.

Q: How to choose the appropriate reel size?

A: It mainly depends on the width and quantity of the components (total volume).The 7-inch disc is commonly used for packaging small components, while the 13-inch and 15-inch discs are designed for larger or high-volume component packaging.For details, please contact our technical support team.

Q: Do you support custom printing?

A： support. We can apply screen printing or laser marking on the reel surface to print information such as the company logo, model number, and batch number, thereby enhancing brand image.
