Patent ID: 6981859

Claim:
An apparatus for manufacturing an electronic component on which a paste is applied on a part of side faces of a component on which a paste is applied on a part of side faces of a component body with a predetermined width, comprising: a silt plate on which silts to be filled with the paste and having a width corresponding to the width for applying the paste are provided, the slit plate having first and second principle faces in opposed relation with each other with a predetermined distance apart, and the first principle face side serving as a side for disposing the component body; a shutter member compromising an elastic member disposed so as to shut the opening of the slit on the second principle face of the slit plate; and a compression member for compressing the shutter member so as to allow the shutter member to undergo elastic deformation toward the inside of the slit, in order to apply the paste in the slit on the part of the side face of the component body while supplying the paste filled in the slit so as to swell on the first principle face side; wherein projections are formed on the compression member at the positions in opposed relation to the slits.
