Two or four lead DIP components are stored in a generally vertical, adjustable chute for gravity feed during lateral removal of a single component by a coacting shuttle tooling clamp arm from the bottom of the supply. Individual component removal is facilitated by a spring biased plunger for blocking removal of the bottom-most component until the coacting clamp arm raises the plunger against the action of the spring biasing.

In a magazine for vertical, end-to-end storage and lateral supply of a plurality of DIP components, said magazine having an elongate guide rail parallel and opposed to and spaced apart from an elongate channel to form a chute therebetween, said chute having a loading end and a discharge end and said guide rail being contoured to be straddled with a sliding fit by opposed pairs of prongs of said DIP components, the improvement comprising: an adjustment means for varying the chute spacing between said guide rail and said elongated channel to accommodate components of different body thicknesses; a reduced lead-in portion at said loading end of said guide rail; a lead-in rail linear with said guide rail and abutting said lead-in portion; and a padded clamp means for clamping a component supply stick to said lead-in rail.
