<p>PURPOSE: An apparatus for supplying components is provided to stably transfer a component receiving tape by arranging an electronic component exposing device between a first transfer device and a second transfer device. CONSTITUTION: First and second transfer devices(3a,21) transfer a component receiving tape(1) from a receiving tape reel to a component extracting position. The component receiving tape includes a carrier tape and a cover tape. The component receiving unit is formed on a cover tape. A cover tape covers the component receiving unit to prevent the component from being separated. A component exposing device(20) is arranged between the first and second transfer devices. The component exposing device exposes the component in the component receiving unit.</p>
