SMT Feeder (also known as Tape Feeder, SMD Feeder, Component Feeder, or SMT Feeding Gun) is an electric device that locks tape-and-reel SMD components, peels off the tape (film) cover on the top of components, and feeds the uncovered components to the same fixed pickup position for pick-and-place machine pick-up.

The SMT feeder is the most important component of an SMT machine, as well as an important component of SMT assembly that influences PCB assembly capabilities and production efficiency.

The majority of the components are supplied on paper or plastic tape in tape reels that are loaded onto machine-mounted feeders. Larger integrated circuits (ICs) are occasionally supplied in trays that are stacked in a compartment. Tapes, rather than trays or sticks, are more commonly used to deliver integrated circuits. Because of advancements in feeder technology, tape format is quickly becoming the preferred method of presenting parts on an SMT machine.
