A series of electronic components formed using a carrier tape. The carrier tape is adapted to enable smoothly picking up even small-sized electronic components with a suction nozzle. The carrier tape has housing holes housing electronic components therein. The housing holes are arranged in the longitudinal direction. A top tape and a bottom tape are attached to the upper and lower surfaces of the carrier tape. Interval portions between the housing holes are provided with concave slots in their lower surfaces, thereby forming air flow paths 12. The air flow paths form air passages which enable smoothly picking up the small-sized electronic components using a suction nozzle 14.
