Abstract: A nozzle exchanging or mounting apparatus is provided for use in exchanging nozzles utilized for vacuum sucking a semiconductor device and various electric components in a surface mounting apparatus. The nozzle exchanging or mounting apparatus includes a nozzle installation body having a nozzle installation portion in which a plurality of nozzles can be disposed at a predetermined interval therebetween, a locking unit, the locking unit being longitudinally inserted into and installed at one side of the nozzle installation body, a bracket for inserting one side of the locking unit thereinto to fix the locking unit in place, and a driving unit for selectively moving the locking unit backward and forward. The apparatus provides the advantage that the time taken to exchange nozzle(s) can be reduced due to the stable and prompt exchange of the nozzle(s).
