ABSTRACT:
A tape feeder includes a feeding member which feeds a carrier tape having feed holes in its lengthwise direction, and accommodating pockets which are arranged in the lengthwise direction, accommodate respective circuit components and have a predetermined position relative to the holes. The feeding member feeds the tape so that the circuit components are sequentially positioned at a component-supply position. The tape feeder also includes a tape-support surface which supports a surface of the tape and which has, in a path-related portion thereof located along a path of movement of the holes, one or more optical-characteristic giving portions each of which is larger than one of the holes and has a first optical characteristic that is given to the one hole and is recognized differently by an optical recognizing device than a second optical characteristic of another portion of the path-related portion.
