<p>A TCP handler (2) is provided with a pusher unit (3) which presses a carrier tape (5) to a probe card (8); and a second camera (6b) which is arranged below the pusher unit (3) for photographing an alignment mark (52) of the carrier tape (5). The pusher unit (3) is provided with a pusher plate (34) for sucking and holding the carrier tape (5), and an illuminating apparatus (91) is embedded in the pusher plate (34) at a position that corresponds to the alignment mark of the carrier tape (5) held by the pusher plate (34). With the TCP handler (2), image recognition rate of the carrier tape (5) by the second camera (6b) is improved.</p>
