It is opened as a supply port or an insertion port. The electronic components stored in the magazine body 2 have a main body with two parallel surfaces, and a lead wire is drawn out from one side of the main body. Examples include electrolytic capacitors, etc. There is. Rack plates 4 and 6 that slidably support electronic components are protruded from the inner wall of the magazine body 2 to face each other. Correspondingly, a plurality of support grooves 10 and 12 are formed facing each other to which the support plate 8 supporting the upper surface side is attached so that it can be attached and detached and the height position can be adjusted. A gap 14 is formed between the rack plates 4 and 6 for inserting the terminal of the electronic component, and the width of the gap 14 is set to a size that maintains the lead wire of the electronic component in a constant direction. is prevented. Furthermore, in order to form a space between the rack plates 4, 6 and the bottom surface of the magazine body 2 to accommodate lead wires of electronic components, the rack plates 4, 6 are placed at a certain height above the bottom surface of the magazine body 2. It is formed by

In the case of this embodiment, the support grooves 10 and 12 are formed by forming a plurality of protrusions having different heights at intervals slightly larger than the thickness of the support plate 8. The support plate 8 is fixed inside the support grooves 10 and 12, and its height can be adjusted according to the height of the electronic components to be stored. On the lower surface of the support plate 8, protrusions 16 and 18 are provided so as to straddle the main body of the electronic component at an interval slightly larger than the diameter of the electronic component in order to prevent the electronic component from falling in the lateral direction. It is being

In addition, stoppers 20 and 22 are provided at the front and rear ends of the magazine body 2 to lock the stored electronic components at the front and rear ends, and near the opening of the magazine body 2, This stopper 2
Fixing holes 24 and 26 for fixing 0 and 22 are bored.

FIG. 2 shows a case where an electrolytic capacitor 28 is housed in the magazine body 2 as an electronic component. In this case, the support grooves 10, 1 of the magazine body 2
At the same time, in order to prevent the electrolytic capacitor 28 from falling off, a stopper 22 is inserted into the fixing hole 26 to close one opening of the magazine body 2. . Then, from the other open opening that is not blocked, the electrolytic capacitor 28 is sequentially inserted into the magazine body 2 in the direction of arrow a.
Store inside. When the number of electrolytic capacitors 28 to be accommodated reaches the number determined by the longitudinal spacing between the fixing holes 24 and 26, the stopper 20 is inserted into the fixing hole 24 as shown by arrow b and fixed.

FIG. 3 shows the front portion of the magazine body 2 housing the electrolytic capacitor 28. As shown in FIG. The support plate 8 is fixed at a height corresponding to the height of the electrolytic capacitor 28,
Moreover, since the top of the main body of the electrolytic capacitor 28 faces within the space between the protrusions 16 and 18 of the support plate 8, the electrolytic capacitor 28 is prevented from moving up and down and falling over in the lateral direction. Further, the lead wire 30 of the electrolytic capacitor 28 is housed and protected in a suspended state in a space formed on the lower surface of the rack plates 4, 6. As a result, the lead wire 30 is not deformed due to vibrations or the like during transportation, and can be reliably supplied during automatic insertion.
