Abstract
A component mounting apparatus includes a pushing member for inserting a pair of terminal wires of an electric component into a circuit board and a clinching mechanism operatively provided below the circuit board for bending the terminal wires, extending outwardly from the circuit board, sideways in a direction towards each other for fixedly mounting the electric component on the circuit board. The clinching mechanism includes a pair of arms which come into contact with the terminal wires for bending the same. Each of the arms is provided with a pair of stress detecting elements which detects the stress set up in the arm upon contact between the arm and the terminal wire for detecting whether or not the electric component is properly mounted on the circuit board.
