Abstract
In a flux transfer unit to be used in an electronic component mounting apparatus for transferring flux to an electronic component picked up from a component feed unit and then mounting the electronic component onto a board, a blade holding head which has a first blade and a second blade for film formation use and scraping use of flux, respectively, and which is reciprocatively driven by a rodless cylinder via a drive transmission pin, is held by a movable member so as to be swingable about a swing support pin, and the movable member is braked with a specified braking force by a plate spring member. Thus, each time the direction of motion of the blade is reversed, the blade holding head swings, so that the first blade and the second blade can be automatically switched over without providing any exclusive drive mechanism.
