Since a plurality of electronic parts storage cases are arranged and inserted along the storage grooves, the case body can be made compact, and at the same time, the compressed air can be sent to the storage grooves. It has the advantage that the electronic parts can be individually delivered to the mounting head and the electronic components can be accurately supplied to the mounting head.

In this electronic component storage case, various types of electronic components are aligned and inserted into individual cases, respectively, and a plurality of cases storing the different types of electronic components are arranged to obtain one print. It can be applied as a means for individually supplying different types of electronic components required to form a circuit on a board. As described above, multiple storage cases should be prepared and installed in the electronic component supply device including the compressed air blowing mechanism, and the compressed air blowing mechanism should be operated according to the electronic component mounting program. With this, it is possible to send the compressed air of electronic components to the storage groove of the individual case body and to sequentially supply the electronic components to the mounting head that moves for each case in the mounting order.

In order to carry out high-accuracy and high-speed mounting of electronic components by applying this electronic component storage case, it is necessary to quickly grasp what the electronic components inserted in each case are, and to print one sheet of paper. To quickly prepare a storage case for the electronic components required to configure the circuit on the printed circuit board, or to immediately respond to a change in the lot of the circuit assembly, and to eliminate the case where the electronic components became empty during the component mounting work. It is desirable to be able to deal with the automatic exchange of the same kind promptly. If the identification can be made quickly, not only from the mounting side of electronic components, but also when packing and shipping electronic component storage cases, a predetermined number of storage cases with electronic components of the same type are prepared to ensure efficient operation. It can be packed in one package, and is also preferable from the management aspect such as controlling the total number of shipments.
