Abstract: The device for separation of electrical components includes a slide track which runs obliquely downwards and is adjusted to correspond to the width of the components. A frame, intended for testing the components, is provided in the center area of the track. Above the slide track, there are a total of four levers engaging in the slide track or influencing the components in the slide track, which levers are arranged proximate one another at a distance that is approximately equal to or slightly greater than the length of the components with respect to the direction the components slide. The individual levers are activated via one single cam drive with four cams, whereby the cams are arranged so that both the first two levers and the last two levers are activated alternatingly in order to facilitate a step by step forwarding of the component resting below or against them.
