Reel holding device and tape feeder

Abstract

A reel holding device includes a main body, a pressing plate openable and closable with respect to the main body to press a side surface orthogonal to a central axis of a reel around which a component supply tape is wound and which is accommodated in a reel holder, and a holding section configured to attract and hold the pressing plate by a magnetic force in a closed state in which the pressing plate presses the reel, in which the holding section includes an attracting portion configured to attract the pressing plate and a peripheral portion adjacent to the attracting portion, and a magnetic force larger than a magnetic force of the attracting portion is generated in at least a part of the peripheral portion.
