PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ACF feeder by which a consumed ACF reel can be replaced even during operation of the device, and operation stop of the device due to ACF reel replacement can be minimized. SOLUTION: The ACF feeder is used for bonding a driver IC or a TAB package to the substrate of a flat panel display (FPD) such as an LCD, a PDP and the like. It includes a feeder for feeding ACF tape which is composed of an ACF layer and an ACF supporting layer, a bonder which draws the ACF tape from the feeder and bonds the ACF layer onto a work table, and a collecting section for collecting the ACF supporting layer from which the ACF layer is separated. The feeder of the ACF feeder also includes several reel mounting tables for rotatably supporting several ACF reels for reeling the ACF tape on the same plane, and a holding means which fixes the drawn end of the ACF tape drawn from the ACF reel mounted on either of the several reel mounting tables in a predetermined waiting position for feeding.
