A conveyor device for printed circuit boards includes a carrier that continuously circulates between conveyor wheels. At least one carrier element supporting placement of the printed circuit board and at least one resilient clamping element clamping the printed circuit board on the carrier element are arranged on the carrier. A switching device moves the clamping element back and forth between an open position of the clamping element, in which the printed circuit board can be loosely placed onto the carrier element, and a spring-loaded closed position of the clamping element, in which the printed circuit board can be pressed onto the carrier element by the clamping element.
