ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for forming the leads of electrical components such as five-leaded TO-220 packages is provided. Taped components are supplied from a reel to a sensor which detects the presence of an electrical component contained on the tape, and stops advancement of the tape. While the tape is stopped, a cutter singulates a segment of tape having at least one electrical component from the remainder of the tape. The singulated tape is then advanced through a lead forming station, where the leads of the electrical component are formed into the desired configuration. A method is also disclosed for forming the leads of electrical components supplied on a roll of tape.
