Abstract: Multi-layer cover tape constructions include a polymeric substrate with a low adhesion backsize coating layer on one surface and an adhesive layer on the other surface, with a conductive film construction adhered to a portion of the adhesive layer such that portions of the adhesive remain exposed. The conductive film construction includes a polymeric substrate with an exposed layer of abrasion-resistant, electrically conductive nano-scale graphite coated by buff coating. Other multi-layer cover tape constructions include a polymeric substrate with a low adhesion backsize coating layer on one surface, and an exposed layer of abrasion-resistant, electrically conductive nano-scale graphite particles coated on the other surface. Stripes of adhesive are present on a portion of the electrically conductive coating such that portions of the electrically conductive coating remain exposed between the adhesive stripes.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a carrier tape having pockets for carrying electronic components. The carrier tape includes a longitudinally extending elevated central portion having a plurality of pockets formed therein and two side portions, each side portion disposed on opposite sides of the elevated central portion and extending longitudinally therewith, wherein each side portion is attached to the elevated central portion by an inclined portion such that the central portion is higher than the side portions when disposed in a flat configuration.
