There are disclosed a method and apparatus for forming a sinuous lead wire (30) used for efficiently obtaining U-shaped lead wires (5) which serve as a lead wire material for a ceramic capacitor (1) having two terminal lead wires (3, 4). For forming such sinuous lead wire, first and second pin series (23, 24, 70, 71) are used which comprise respective pluralities of pins (21, 22, 63, 64) arranged with an equal pitch and which are arranged in two rows shifted by a half pitch from each other. Each pin series is moved in such a manner that each pin in one series enters between two adjacent pins in the other series. As a result of such pin movement, a material lead wire disposed between the first and second pin series is sinuously deformed. |
