摘要： An article such as an electrical connector in the form of a connector base 1 and a plurality of electrical terminals 2 is transported by means of a suction cup 4 which has a suction area greater than can be provided by the surface of the connector base 1. To enable transportation of the electrical connector, a length of adhesive tape 5 is attached to the connector base 1, the tape 5 having an area which is greater than the suction area of the suction cup 4.
After transportation of the electrical connector, e.g. to a workstation where the electrical terminals 2 are soldered, e.g. using infrared radiation, the adhesive tape 5 is removed from the connector base.
The tape is an aramid-based adhesive tape, such as Nomex (R.T.M.) tape having a thickness of between 0.25 mm and 1.00 mm, e.g. substantially 0.25 mm, and the electrical connector is an SMT ("surface mount technology") connector. Alternatively the tape is a PTFE-based adhesive tape, such as Teflon (R.T.M.) tape.
