Abstract
A feeding apparatus for supplying electronic devices for pick-up comprises a guide track for guiding and feeding a plurality of electronic devices and a separator operative to receive electronic devices from the guide track for the electronic devices to be picked up from the separator. A protrusion is located on either of the guide track or the separator, and a cavity is located on the other of the guide track or the separator for receiving the protrusion. The protrusion and the cavity cooperate to form a substantially continuous surface for transferring the electronic devices to the separator.
