Sucking pipette for picking up electric components

A pipette for gripping a component by means of a vacuum when mounting components on printed circuit boards, said pipette having a base body with a suction opening on an end surface of said body, which surface faces toward the component, a bearing surface on said end surface surrounding the opening in said end surface, said bearing surface forming part of an elastomer bearing member, which is mounted on the base body of the pipette and projects slightly beyond the end surface, the improvements comprising the base body of the pipette surrounding an inserted part of the bearing member, except for the side facing toward the component, without play and the bearing member having a base part which has a thick cross section and is surrounded on all sides by the base body, a thin bearing rib, which is smaller than the base part and forms the bearing surface, at least one elastomeric support member with an end side support surface for a component being inserted onto the end surface of the base body, said support member having a bearing surface of a height less than a height of the bearing surface of said bearing member, the support member being of a web-like design and having a cross section which is similar to the cross section of the bearing member and having at least one support rib, an outside of said support rib forming a support surface and the support member being arranged inside an area enclosed by the bearing rib of the bearing member.
