Abstract
A substrate holding device for holding a circuit substrate. The substrate holding device has a substrate clamping device including a receiving member and a movable member which is movable to force a portion of the circuit substrate against the receiving member, for thereby clamping the circuit substrate. At least one of the receiving member and the movable member has an elastically deformable portion provided by its contact portion which is to be brought into contact wiht the circuit substrate. The elastically deformable portion is preferably formed of a rubber or its equivalent material. The substrate holding device may have a movement-velocity reducing device which reduces the movement velocity of the movable member in a final stage of forward movement of the movable member toward the receiving member.
