Abstract
An apparatus re-forms the axial lead of an axial-lead type electronic component into the shape of a U and affixes the electronic components with U-shaped leads to a support tape so as to form a continuous web-carrier carrying a series of electronic components each with a U-shaped lead. The apparatus feeds the electronic component one-by-one to a transfer assembly which transfers the components to a re-forming position and an affixing position in sequence. Means for forming a kink in a lead of each component and for removing excess lead wire are also provided.
