The chip feeder comprises: a working lever having a first, second and third arm portions; a driving source for applying working force to the first arm portion; a tape feed device interlockingly connected to the second arm portion, for intermittently feeding the tape at a predetermined pitch; a protective tape peel-off device interlockingly connected to the third arm portion, for peeling the protective tape off the tape intermittently fed, and a chip takeout device for taking out the chip parts from the tape.
