Abstract
A slide-type solvent transfer unit is used, and a plurality of nozzles at a head part which suck and hold components are moved down simultaneously to transfer flux to electronic components. In comparison with an electronic component mounting method including a transfer operation whereby nozzles are lowered one by one by a conventional electronic component mounting apparatus equipped with a rotary type solvent transfer unit, the time required for moving the nozzles up and down is shortened and a total cycle time is reduced, so that production efficiency is improved.
