Background technology
Whether general computer main frame panel needs in process of production through a series of test procedure, serve as normal with each function of authenticating computer motherboard.
In the process of test central processing unit CPU socket, known technology is at each time test procedure, after all socket need cpu chip being inserted in before beginning test and finishing test cpu chip is pulled away socket, if Plug Action accidentally, tends to cause stitch on the cpu chip by bending or fracture.
Afterwards, when testing, produced the situation of a large amount of losses, substituted cpu chip with a chip card extender usually, to test in order to reduce cpu chip.Card extender then has electrically conduct a little identical with cpu chip, and then the switching pin of chip card extender is inserted on the CPU socket.Thus, in test procedure, being plugged repeatedly just becomes card extender but not cpu chip in CPU socket.
As shown in Figure 1, CPU socket (socket) 11 welderings are located on the computer main frame panel 12, and CPU socket 11 has a plurality of first jacks 111.In the known technology, whether be electrically connected in computer main frame panel 12 exactly, utilize a card extender 13 to assist to test in order to test CPU socket 11.Have contact on the card extender 13, for example: a side of card extender 13 has switching pin 131, and its first jack 111 with CPU socket 11 is corresponding, and the opposite side of card extender 13 has second jack 132 that is communicated with the switching pin.
And test cell 14 has and second jack, 132 corresponding microprobes 141 (micro-probe), during test, microprobe 141 is inserted and is touched in second jack 132 of card extender 13, comes CPU socket 11 on the detection computations machine host plate 12 with this, and whether conducting is normal for its relevant effect.
But along with cpu chip pin number purpose increases, switching pin 131 on the card extender 13 and second jack, 132 numbers also increase thereupon.On fixing card extender 13 areas, the aperture of second jack 132 is also more and more trickle.This makes when testing; it is excessive to insert the pressure touch in the microprobe 141 of second jack 132; regular meeting causes fracture phenomenon in second jack 132 of the elongated syringe needle of microprobe 141; not only test cell 14 is impaired; even CPU socket 11 and card extender 13 also can come to harm; make the process of test to carry out smoothly, also reduced the serviceable life of card extender 13.
In addition, contact on the known card extender 13, also can make the form of electric contact mat (Pad), the electric contact mat of card extender 13 1 sides contacts with the shell fragment of CPU socket 11, and the electric contact mat of the opposite side of card extender 13, then can be used as the contact that contacts with the microprobe 141 of test cell 14, and the electric contact mat conducting each other of card extender 13 both sides.Yet card extender 13 with electric contact mat, owing to will contact just with shell fragment and can test, therefore when test, still need to apply sizable pressure, electric contact mat is closely contacted with shell fragment, but thus, then cause CPU socket 11 and card extender 13 stressed excessive again easily, and then cause breakage.
Because the problems referred to above, the inventor urgently thinks a kind of stitch number that can solve because of cpu chip to be increased, and makes CPU socket test difficult " method of proving installation and connection proving installation ".
