An apparatus for inserting electric components, which have a plurality of lead wires arranged in two rows in an approximately same direction, into a circuit board, characterized in that the automatic apparatus has a taking-out chuck unit provided with a pair of forming levers for spreading the tip ends of the lead wires arranged in the two rows, a driving source for the taking-out chuck unit, an insertion chuck unit for receiving and retaining the electric components from the taking-out chuck unit to insert them into the circuit board, and a component feed portion for feeding the electric components, in a given order, to the components taking-out position for the taking-out chuck unit.
In an automatic apparatus for inserting electric components into a circuit board, the electric components having a plurality of lead wires which are arranged in two rows in approximately the same direction, the improvement comprising a taking-out chuck unit provided with a pair of forming levers for spreading apart the tip ends of said lead wires in two rows and retaining said lead wires, a driving source for moving the taking-out chuck unit from a component taking-out position, an insertion chuck unit for receiving and retaining the electric components from said taking-out chuck unit delivered by the driving source thereby to insert the electric components into said circuit board, and a component feed portion for sequentially feeding said electric components to the components taking-out position of said taking-out chuck unit.
