Description

本発明は、ICの検査などに使用される異方導電性部材に関する。   The present invention relates to an anisotropic conductive member used for IC inspection and the like.

多数の端子を備えるICを検査するときには、ICにおける隣接する端子同士での電気的接続を抑制しつつ、ICの各端子と、ICを検査するための検査装置(ICテスター)に接続された検査用基板における各端子に対応する電極とを電気的に接続するための、異方導電性部材が使用される。   When inspecting an IC having a large number of terminals, an inspection connected to each terminal of the IC and an inspection device (IC tester) for inspecting the IC while suppressing electrical connection between adjacent terminals in the IC. An anisotropic conductive member is used for electrically connecting the electrodes corresponding to the terminals on the circuit board.

その異方導電性部材は、全体形状としてはおおむね板状であり、その主面の法線方向の導電性は十分に高いため電気信号を通過させるが、主面の面内方向には絶縁されていて電気を通さないという特性を有する。この特性に基づき、異方導電性部材は、主面の法線方向に電流を通過させる部分を検査対象のICの端子に対応して多数備える構造を有する。本発明において、ICの端子に対応してこの主面の法線方向に電流を通過させる部分を電気貫通部という。   The anisotropic conductive member is generally plate-shaped as a whole, and its electrical conductivity in the normal direction of its main surface is sufficiently high so that an electric signal can pass through it, but it is insulated in the in-plane direction of the main surface. And has the property of not conducting electricity. Based on this characteristic, the anisotropic conductive member has a structure including a large number of portions through which current passes in the normal direction of the main surface corresponding to the terminals of the IC to be inspected. In the present invention, a portion through which a current passes in the normal direction of the main surface corresponding to the terminal of the IC is referred to as an electric through portion.

電気貫通部の具体的な構造は任意であり、異方導電性部材の双方の主面から露出するようにその部材に埋設された金属などの導電性細線を備える構造、双方の主面間に充填された一群の導電性微粒子を備える構造、両端が部分的に閉塞されつつ開口された管状体とこの管状体の内部に配置されたコイルスプリングとこのコイルスプリングに付勢されながら上記の部分的な閉塞部に係止された状態で管状体から部分的に突出する二つの接触部材とからなるプローブピンなどが例示される。   The specific structure of the electric through-hole is arbitrary, a structure including conductive thin wires such as metal embedded in the member so as to be exposed from both main surfaces of the anisotropic conductive member, and between the two main surfaces. A structure comprising a group of filled conductive fine particles, a tubular body that is opened while being partially closed at both ends, a coil spring disposed inside the tubular body, and the above-mentioned partial while being urged by the coil spring Examples thereof include a probe pin composed of two contact members partially protruding from the tubular body in a state of being locked to a closed portion.

使用時における電気貫通部では、ICの端子および検査用基板と異方導電性部材における電気貫通部の主面上の端部とが、これらの間の電気的接触を安定化させるために所定の圧力で接触している。上記の電気的接触の安定化を実現する程度に接触圧力が発生するように、多くの場合において、電気的貫通部には弾性復元力を利用した接触圧力発生のための構造が設けられている。   In use of the electric through-portion in use, the terminal of the IC and the inspection substrate and the end portion on the main surface of the electric through-hole portion of the anisotropic conductive member are in a predetermined state in order to stabilize the electrical contact between them. Contact with pressure. In many cases, a structure for generating contact pressure using an elastic restoring force is provided in the electrical penetration portion so that the contact pressure is generated to such an extent that the above-described electrical contact is stabilized. .

例えば、上記の導電性細線を用いる電気貫通部や一群の導電性微粒子を用いる電気貫通部は、これらの部材が弾性体内に埋設される構造を備えることによって、これらの部材とICの端子および検査用基板との接触圧力を発生させている。また、プローブピンでは、コイルスプリングが二つの接触部材を離間するように付勢することによって、これらの接触部材とICの端子および検査用基板との接触圧力を発生させている。   For example, the electrical penetration part using the above-mentioned conductive thin wires and the electrical penetration part using a group of conductive fine particles have a structure in which these members are embedded in an elastic body. The contact pressure with the substrate is generated. In the probe pin, the coil spring urges the two contact members so as to separate the contact members, thereby generating contact pressure between the contact members and the IC terminals and the inspection substrate.

上記の例以外に、特許文献1および2に開示されるような構造の電気貫通部が例示される。   In addition to the above example, an electrical penetration part having a structure as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 is exemplified.

電気貫通部は、電流を可能な限り損失少なく通過させることという基本要求のほかに、電気貫通部の電気的接触状態を長期にわたり安定化すること(接触安定化)、隣接する電気貫通部の間隔を可能な限り狭めること(高密度化)、および上記の基本要求を満たすための具体的な手段の一つとして異方導電性部材の主面間の距離を可能な限り狭くすること(薄肉化)も求められている。   In addition to the basic requirement of passing through current with as little loss as possible, the electrical penetration must stabilize the electrical contact state of the electrical penetration for a long time (contact stabilization), and the distance between adjacent electrical penetrations As much as possible (densification), and as one of the specific means to meet the above basic requirements, the distance between the main surfaces of anisotropic conductive members should be as narrow as possible (thinning) ) Is also required.

しかしながら、前掲の従来技術に係る電気貫通部は、これらの要請の全てを満たすことができていない。   However, the electrical penetration portion according to the above-described prior art cannot satisfy all of these requirements.

すなわち、導電性細線や導電性微粒子を弾性体の内部に埋め込む形式の電気貫通部は、ICの端子と接触する部分が細線の断面や微粒子の表面であり、ICの端子に対する接触状態が安定化しにくい。また、製造上の理由により、高密度化への対応にも限界がある。   That is, in the electric through-hole portion in which the conductive fine wire or conductive fine particle is embedded in the elastic body, the portion in contact with the IC terminal is the cross section of the fine wire or the surface of the fine particle, and the contact state with the IC terminal is stabilized. Hateful. In addition, there is a limit to dealing with higher density due to manufacturing reasons.

プローブピンの場合には、コイルスプリングを内在することから、高密度化と薄肉化とが原理的にトレードオフの関係にある。   In the case of a probe pin, since a coil spring is inherent, there is a trade-off relationship in principle between increasing the density and reducing the thickness.

特許文献1に開示される電気貫通部は、金属板材料からなる導電部材が圧縮力の印加と解除との繰り返しを受けるため、この部材が金属疲労しやすく、接触安定化の観点で大きな問題を抱えている。   In the electrical penetration part disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the conductive member made of a metal plate material is repeatedly subjected to the application and release of the compressive force, this member is prone to metal fatigue, which is a big problem in terms of contact stabilization. I have it.

特許文献2に開示される電気貫通部は、主面上に金属回路を有し、さらにこの金属回路とは主面上別の位置にスルーホールを有するため、高密度化を実現することは不可能である。   The electric through-hole disclosed in Patent Document 2 has a metal circuit on the main surface, and further has a through hole at a position different from the metal circuit on the main surface. Is possible.

かかる技術背景を鑑み、本発明は、前述の接触安定化、高密度化および薄肉化のいずれについても高いレベルで達成し得る電気貫通部を備える異方導電性部材を提供することを課題とする。   In view of such a technical background, an object of the present invention is to provide an anisotropic conductive member including an electric through portion that can be achieved at a high level for any of the aforementioned contact stabilization, densification, and thinning. .

以下、図面を参照しつつ、本発明に係る異方導電性部材を説明する。
図1は、本発明の第一の実施形態に係る異方導電性部材の弾性ソケットの厚さ方向の断面の一部を概念的に示す図である。
Hereinafter, an anisotropic conductive member according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a view conceptually showing a part of a cross section in the thickness direction of an elastic socket of an anisotropic conductive member according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

本実施形態に係る異方導電性部材100は、絶縁体からなり弾性を有する板状の弾性ソケット101と、弾性ソケット101内に個別に保持されて弾性ソケットの厚さ方向に電流を通過させる複数の電気貫通部102とを備える。弾性ソケットの材質は特に限定されない。その材質を例示すれば、シリコーンゴムやフッ素ゴム、あるいはアクリル系エラストマーなど弾性を有する絶縁材料が挙げられる。   The anisotropic conductive member 100 according to the present embodiment includes an elastic plate-like elastic socket 101 made of an insulator and a plurality of elastic sockets 101 that are individually held in the elastic socket 101 and allow current to pass in the thickness direction of the elastic socket. The electrical penetration part 102 is provided. The material of the elastic socket is not particularly limited. Examples of the material include an insulating material having elasticity such as silicone rubber, fluororubber, or acrylic elastomer.

電気貫通部102は、電気的に接続しつつ弾性ソケットの厚さ方向に相対位置を変動可能な第一の可動部材103および第二の可動部材104を備える。第一の可動部材103は、測定対象物に付設される電極と接触するための電極接触部105を弾性ソケット101の一方の主面側に備える。第二の可動部材104は、測定装置の配線基板と接触するための基板接触部106を弾性ソケット101の他方の主面側に備える。   The electric through-hole 102 includes a first movable member 103 and a second movable member 104 that are electrically connected and can change the relative position in the thickness direction of the elastic socket. The first movable member 103 includes an electrode contact portion 105 on one main surface side of the elastic socket 101 for contacting an electrode attached to the measurement object. The second movable member 104 includes a board contact portion 106 for contacting the wiring board of the measuring device on the other main surface side of the elastic socket 101.

第一および第二の可動部材103,104は、少なくとも電極接触部105と基板接触部106とが近接した状態では弾性ソケット101の一部を圧縮可能に配置される。図1では、電極接触部105および基板接触部106における最も外径が大きな部分(以下、「鍔部分」ともいう。)107,108が、それぞれ、弾性ソケット101の主面における貫通孔109の周縁部110,111に接触するように配置されている。このため、電極接触部105と基板接触部106とが近接すると、これらの接触部の鍔部分107,108によって弾性ソケット101の主面における貫通孔109の周縁部110,111は圧縮される。このように配置されることにより、電極接触部105と基板接触部106とに外力が付与されてこれらが弾性ソケットの厚さ方向に近接したときにこれらを離間させる弾性復元力が弾性ソケット101に生じることが実現される。   The first and second movable members 103 and 104 are arranged so that a part of the elastic socket 101 can be compressed in a state where at least the electrode contact portion 105 and the substrate contact portion 106 are close to each other. In FIG. 1, the electrode contact portion 105 and the substrate contact portion 106 have portions with the largest outer diameter (hereinafter also referred to as “trench portions”) 107 and 108, respectively, at the periphery of the through hole 109 on the main surface of the elastic socket 101. It arrange | positions so that the part 110,111 may be contacted. For this reason, when the electrode contact portion 105 and the substrate contact portion 106 come close to each other, the peripheral portions 110 and 111 of the through hole 109 in the main surface of the elastic socket 101 are compressed by the flange portions 107 and 108 of these contact portions. With this arrangement, an elastic force is applied to the elastic socket 101 so that an external force is applied to the electrode contact portion 105 and the substrate contact portion 106 and separates them when they approach each other in the thickness direction of the elastic socket. What happens is realized.

電気貫通部102は、第一または第二の可動部材103,104の一方、本実施形態では第一の可動部材103に設けられたすべり軸112と、これらの部材103,104の他方、本実施形態では第二の可動部材104に設けられたすべり面113とが弾性ソケットの厚さ方向に摺動する摺動接触構造114を備える。この摺動接触構造114によって、電極接触部105と基板接触部106との距離は、これらの接触部の電気的接続を維持したまま弾性ソケットの厚さ方向に変動可能である。   The electric through-hole 102 includes one of the first or second movable members 103 and 104, in this embodiment, a slide shaft 112 provided on the first movable member 103, and the other of these members 103 and 104. In the form, the sliding surface 113 provided on the second movable member 104 and the sliding contact structure 114 that slides in the thickness direction of the elastic socket are provided. The sliding contact structure 114 allows the distance between the electrode contact portion 105 and the substrate contact portion 106 to vary in the thickness direction of the elastic socket while maintaining the electrical connection between these contact portions.

摺動接触構造114はすべり軸112がすべり面113上を弾性ソケットの厚さ方向に摺動する範囲を制限する可動制限手段115を備える。この可動制限手段115によって、電極接触部105の基板接触部106に対する可動範囲は上限を有する。   The sliding contact structure 114 includes a movable restricting means 115 that restricts a range in which the sliding shaft 112 slides on the sliding surface 113 in the thickness direction of the elastic socket. The movable range of the electrode contact portion 105 relative to the substrate contact portion 106 has an upper limit due to the movable restriction means 115.

可動制限手段115は電極接触部105が基板接触部106に対して離間する範囲を制限する脱離止めを含む。本実施形態では、可動制限手段115は脱離止めからなる。この脱離止め115は、すべり面113からすべり軸112側、本実施形態ではすべり軸112を備える第一の可動部材103の中心軸側に突出するすべり面突出部116、およびこのすべり面突出部116に接触することによりすべり軸112の一方向への摺動を停止させるすべり軸係止部117から構成される。   The movable restricting means 115 includes a detachment stopper that restricts a range in which the electrode contact portion 105 is separated from the substrate contact portion 106. In the present embodiment, the movable restricting means 115 is made up of a detachment stopper. The detachment stopper 115 includes a sliding surface protrusion 116 that protrudes from the sliding surface 113 to the sliding shaft 112 side, in this embodiment, to the central axis side of the first movable member 103 including the sliding shaft 112, and the sliding surface protrusion portion. The sliding shaft locking portion 117 is configured to stop sliding in one direction of the sliding shaft 112 by contacting with 116.

本実施形態に係る電気貫通部102において、電極接触部105から弾性ソケットの厚さ方向の弾性ソケット101の中心向きに延設された第一の柱状体を第一の可動部材103が備える。以下、この第一の柱状体と電極接触部105とからなる第一の可動部材103をプランジャーともいう。プランジャー103において、弾性ソケット101の主面から突出する部分は電極接触部105に含まれる。したがって、第一の柱状体はその全体が弾性ソケット101の貫通孔109内部に配置される。本実施形態においては、電極接触部105は貫通孔109内部に部分的に埋設されており、その埋設された部分の外径は貫通孔109の孔径とほぼ同じである。この電極接触部105における部分的に埋設された部分は、プランジャー103がIC端子との接触によって軸倒れすることを防止するためのものである。   In the electric penetration part 102 according to the present embodiment, the first movable member 103 includes a first columnar body extending from the electrode contact part 105 toward the center of the elastic socket 101 in the thickness direction of the elastic socket. Hereinafter, the first movable member 103 including the first columnar body and the electrode contact portion 105 is also referred to as a plunger. A portion of the plunger 103 that protrudes from the main surface of the elastic socket 101 is included in the electrode contact portion 105. Therefore, the entire first columnar body is disposed inside the through hole 109 of the elastic socket 101. In the present embodiment, the electrode contact portion 105 is partially embedded in the through hole 109, and the outer diameter of the embedded portion is substantially the same as the hole diameter of the through hole 109. The part embedded in the electrode contact portion 105 is to prevent the plunger 103 from falling over due to contact with the IC terminal.

また、基板接触部106から弾性ソケットの厚さ方向の弾性ソケット101の中心向きに延設された第二の柱状体を第二の可動部材104が備える。以下、この第二の柱状体と基板接触部106とからなる第二の可動部材104をバレルともいう。バレル104において、弾性ソケット101の主面から突出する部分は基板接触部106に含まれる。したがって、第二の柱状体はその全体が弾性ソケット101の貫通孔109内部に配置される。   The second movable member 104 includes a second columnar body extending from the substrate contact portion 106 toward the center of the elastic socket 101 in the thickness direction of the elastic socket. Hereinafter, the second movable member 104 including the second columnar body and the substrate contact portion 106 is also referred to as a barrel. A portion of the barrel 104 that protrudes from the main surface of the elastic socket 101 is included in the substrate contact portion 106. Therefore, the entire second columnar body is disposed inside the through hole 109 of the elastic socket 101.

プランジャー103が備える第一の柱状体は、弾性ソケットの厚さ方向に連続して配置される太径部118と細径部119とを備え、すべり軸113は太径部118に設けられ、すべり軸係止部117は太径部118と細径部119との連結部に設けられる。   The first columnar body included in the plunger 103 includes a large-diameter portion 118 and a small-diameter portion 119 continuously arranged in the thickness direction of the elastic socket, and the slide shaft 113 is provided in the large-diameter portion 118. The sliding shaft locking portion 117 is provided at the connecting portion between the large diameter portion 118 and the small diameter portion 119.

バレル104が備える第二の柱状体は内部が中空であって弾性ソケットの厚さ方向で第一の柱状体側(すなわち、本実施形態においてはプランジャー103側)の端部に開口を有する。この開口の内部にある中空部の内側面にすべり面113は設けられ、この開口を部分的に閉塞するように開口の縁部から内側に突出する部分閉塞部がすべり面突出部116を構成する。この部分閉塞部の具体的形状は任意である。開口の縁部全周から内側に突出してリング状をなしていてもよいし、開口の縁部の一部から内側に突出していてもよい。   The second columnar body provided in the barrel 104 is hollow inside and has an opening at the end of the first columnar body side (that is, the plunger 103 side in the present embodiment) in the thickness direction of the elastic socket. A slip surface 113 is provided on the inner surface of the hollow portion inside the opening, and a partially closed portion that protrudes inward from the edge of the opening so as to partially close the opening constitutes a slide surface protruding portion 116. . The specific shape of the partial blockage is arbitrary. The ring may protrude inward from the entire periphery of the edge of the opening, or may protrude inward from a part of the edge of the opening.

太径部118に設けられたすべり軸112はバレル104の開口の内部にある中空部内に配置され、中空部の内側面に設けられたすべり面113と接触して摺動接触構造114を構成している。   The slide shaft 112 provided in the large diameter portion 118 is disposed in the hollow portion inside the opening of the barrel 104, and forms a sliding contact structure 114 in contact with the slide surface 113 provided on the inner surface of the hollow portion. ing.

図2は、図1に示した本発明の第一の実施形態に係る異方導電性部材100が検査用基板201に取り付けられ、IC202と検査用基板201との間で圧縮され、IC202を検査可能な状態(本明細書において、「使用状態」ともいう。)を概念的に示す断面図である。   2 shows an anisotropic conductive member 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 attached to an inspection substrate 201 and compressed between the IC 202 and the inspection substrate 201 to inspect the IC 202. It is sectional drawing which shows notionally the possible state (it is also called "use state" in this specification).

異方導電性部材100全体が検査装置により対向するIC202と検査用基板201との間において圧縮されると、電極接触部の鍔部分203および基板接触部の鍔部分204の間で弾性ソケット205が圧縮され、双方の鍔部分203,204は弾性ソケット205から弾性復元力を受ける。この弾性復元力に基づく力が電極接触部206に伝達されることにより、電極接触部206はIC202の電極に所定の圧力で接触する。したがって、電極接触部206とIC202との電気的接触は安定化する。   When the anisotropic conductive member 100 as a whole is compressed between the facing IC 202 and the inspection substrate 201 by the inspection device, the elastic socket 205 is formed between the flange portion 203 of the electrode contact portion and the flange portion 204 of the substrate contact portion. When compressed, both flange portions 203 and 204 receive elastic restoring force from the elastic socket 205. By transmitting a force based on this elastic restoring force to the electrode contact portion 206, the electrode contact portion 206 contacts the electrode of the IC 202 with a predetermined pressure. Therefore, the electrical contact between the electrode contact portion 206 and the IC 202 is stabilized.

続いて、本発明の第一の実施形態に係る異方導電性部材におけるプランジャーおよびバレルの部分構造が具体的に特定された異方導電性部材を、本発明の第二の実施形態として、図3および4を用いて詳しく説明する。   Subsequently, an anisotropic conductive member in which the partial structures of the plunger and the barrel in the anisotropic conductive member according to the first embodiment of the present invention are specifically specified is a second embodiment of the present invention. This will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

図3は、本発明の第二の実施形態に係る異方導電性部材の弾性ソケットの厚さ方向の断面の一部を概念的に示す図である。
本発明の第二の実施形態に係る異方導電性部材300において、太径部301は金属系材料から構成され、部分閉塞部302は樹脂系材料から構成される。ここで、金属系材料とは、金属または合金から構成される材料であって、次に説明する樹脂系材料よりも十分に高い硬度を有することおよび導電性を有することが特性となる。一方、樹脂系材料は、樹脂を成分として有する材料であって、実質的に絶縁体であり、上記の金属系材料に比べて十分に低い弾性率を有し、それゆえ金属系材料と接触した場合には樹脂系材料が優先的に弾性変形する特性を有する。したがって、樹脂系材料は、ゴムからなる場合や、エラストマーからなる場合を含む。
FIG. 3 is a view conceptually showing a part of a cross section in the thickness direction of the elastic socket of the anisotropic conductive member according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
In the anisotropic conductive member 300 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the large-diameter portion 301 is made of a metal material, and the partially closed portion 302 is made of a resin material. Here, the metal-based material is a material composed of a metal or an alloy, and is characterized by having sufficiently higher hardness and conductivity than a resin-based material described below. On the other hand, the resin-based material is a material having a resin as a component and is substantially an insulator, and has a sufficiently low elastic modulus as compared with the above-described metal-based material, and therefore is in contact with the metal-based material. In some cases, the resin-based material has a characteristic of preferentially elastic deformation. Therefore, the resin-based material includes a case where it is made of rubber or a case where it is made of an elastomer.

樹脂系材料を具体的に例示すれば、ナイロンやポリアセタールなど比較的軟質な樹脂が挙げられる。金属系材料を具体的に例示すれば、ステンレスや炭素鋼などの鉄系金属、あるいは黄銅、ベリリウム銅などの銅系金属が挙げられる。なお、金属系材料には摺動部分の接触抵抗を抑制するため金めっきが施されていることが望ましい。   Specific examples of the resin material include relatively soft resins such as nylon and polyacetal. Specific examples of the metal-based material include iron-based metals such as stainless steel and carbon steel, and copper-based metals such as brass and beryllium copper. In addition, it is desirable that the metal material is plated with gold in order to suppress the contact resistance of the sliding portion.

金属系材料および樹脂系材料はそれぞれ上記のような特性を有することから、部分閉塞部302は太径部301との接触により弾性的に変形可能である。このため、太径部301は、当初はバレル303の中空部304の外にあったものが、部分閉塞部302と接触し、部分閉塞部302の上記の変形により部分閉塞部302を超えてバレル303の中空部304内へと挿入されることにより設置されたものである。   Since the metal-based material and the resin-based material have the characteristics as described above, the partially closed portion 302 can be elastically deformed by contact with the large-diameter portion 301. For this reason, the large-diameter portion 301 is initially outside the hollow portion 304 of the barrel 303 but comes into contact with the partially closed portion 302, and exceeds the partially closed portion 302 due to the above-described deformation of the partially closed portion 302. It is installed by being inserted into the hollow portion 304 of 303.

ここで、部分閉塞部302は、異方導電性部材300が使用されて電極接触部305と測定対象物であるICに付設された電極、具体例を挙げればはんだボールとの間に発生する密着力に相当する外力が弾性ソケットの厚さ方向の弾性ソケット306の中心向きと反対向き、つまりICが異方導電性部材300から離れる向きに付与された場合でも、すべり面突出部を構成し、プランジャー307がバレル303から分離してしまうことが抑制されている。   Here, the partially closed portion 302 is a close contact generated between the electrode contact portion 305 and the electrode attached to the IC that is the measurement object using the anisotropic conductive member 300, for example, a solder ball. Even when the external force corresponding to the force is applied in the direction opposite to the center direction of the elastic socket 306 in the thickness direction of the elastic socket, that is, when the IC is applied in the direction away from the anisotropic conductive member 300, the sliding surface protrusion is formed. Separation of the plunger 307 from the barrel 303 is suppressed.

バレル303は上記のように樹脂系材料で構成され、樹脂系材料は一般的には良導体ではない。一方、バレル303の中空部304の内側面にあるすべり面は、プランジャー307に対する電気的接触部であることから、良導体であることが必要である。そこで、本実施形態に係る異方導電性部材300のバレル303は、いずれも内部が中空であるとともに弾性ソケットの厚さ方向で第一の柱状体側(すなわち、本実施形態においてはプランジャー307側)の端部に開口を有し同軸上に配置される、金属系材料からなる第一の柱状部材308および樹脂系材料からなる第二の柱状部材309を備える。本実施形態では、第一の柱状部材308は一つの開口316を有し、第二の柱状部材309は弾性ソケットの厚さ方向で第一の柱状体側(すなわち、本実施形態においてはプランジャー307側)の端部に第一の開口317を有し、この第一の開口317が設けられた側と反対側の端部に第二の開口318を有している。   The barrel 303 is made of a resin material as described above, and the resin material is generally not a good conductor. On the other hand, the sliding surface on the inner side surface of the hollow portion 304 of the barrel 303 is an electrical contact portion with respect to the plunger 307, and therefore needs to be a good conductor. Therefore, the barrel 303 of the anisotropic conductive member 300 according to the present embodiment is hollow inside, and the first columnar body side in the thickness direction of the elastic socket (that is, the plunger 307 side in the present embodiment). The first columnar member 308 made of a metal-based material and the second columnar member 309 made of a resin-based material, which are coaxially arranged with an opening at the end of). In this embodiment, the first columnar member 308 has one opening 316, and the second columnar member 309 is on the first columnar body side in the thickness direction of the elastic socket (that is, in this embodiment, the plunger 307). The first opening 317 is provided at the end of the second side, and the second opening 318 is provided at the end opposite to the side where the first opening 317 is provided.

第一の柱状部材308は、その開口の周縁部およびこれに続く外側面の少なくとも一部が第二の柱状部材309の中空内に配置されている。すなわち、本実施形態に係るバレル303は、同軸上に配置された二重管構造を有する。以下、第一の柱状部材308をインナーバレル、第二の柱状部材309をアウターバレルともいう。そして、樹脂系材料からなる部分閉塞部302はアウターバレル309の第一の開口317に設けられている。また、インナーバレル308の開口316とは反対側の端部319はアウターバレル309の第二の開口318より突出し、基板接触部における基板と直接的に接触する部分を構成している。   The first columnar member 308 is arranged in the hollow of the second columnar member 309 at the periphery of the opening and at least a part of the outer side surface following the periphery. That is, the barrel 303 according to the present embodiment has a double tube structure arranged coaxially. Hereinafter, the first columnar member 308 is also referred to as an inner barrel, and the second columnar member 309 is also referred to as an outer barrel. A partially closed portion 302 made of a resin material is provided in the first opening 317 of the outer barrel 309. Further, an end 319 of the inner barrel 308 opposite to the opening 316 protrudes from the second opening 318 of the outer barrel 309 and constitutes a portion that directly contacts the substrate in the substrate contact portion.

アウターバレル309は一体構造であってもよいし、複数の部材から構成されていてもよい。複数の部材から構成される場合の具体例として、アウターバレル309の中心軸を含む平面で分割することが挙げられる。   The outer barrel 309 may have an integral structure or may be composed of a plurality of members. As a specific example in the case of being composed of a plurality of members, it can be divided by a plane including the central axis of the outer barrel 309.

このようにバレル303が二重管構造を有し、インナーバレル308は良導体であってアウターバレル309は絶縁体であることは、異方導電性部材の使用時に流れる電気信号が高周波信号である場合に、波形劣化が少なくなるという利点も有する。すなわち、高周波信号は表皮効果により導体の表面を流れるため、バレルの導体部分についてバレルの中心軸を含む断面で切断した断面の外側面の長さが短いことが、高周波信号の劣化を抑制する観点から好ましい。本実施形態に係るバレル303は、この外側面はインナーバレル308によって形成されるため、二重管構造を有さないバレルの上記外側面に比べて外側面の長さが短くなる。したがって、本実施形態に係るバレル303は通常の単管構造のバレルに比べて高周波信号を劣化させにくい。   Thus, the barrel 303 has a double-pipe structure, the inner barrel 308 is a good conductor, and the outer barrel 309 is an insulator. When the anisotropic conductive member is used, the electrical signal flowing is a high-frequency signal. In addition, there is an advantage that waveform deterioration is reduced. That is, since the high-frequency signal flows on the surface of the conductor due to the skin effect, the length of the outer surface of the cross-section cut along the cross-section including the central axis of the barrel of the conductor portion of the barrel is short to suppress deterioration of the high-frequency signal To preferred. Since the outer surface of the barrel 303 according to the present embodiment is formed by the inner barrel 308, the length of the outer surface is shorter than the outer surface of the barrel that does not have a double tube structure. Therefore, the barrel 303 according to the present embodiment is less likely to degrade the high-frequency signal as compared with a normal single-tube barrel.

このような高周波信号における表皮効果を考慮する観点から、本実施形態に係る異方導電性部材300のプランジャー307の電極接触部305は、導電性材料、具体的には金属材料からなり電極と直接接触する中心側の部材311と、電極接触部305における最も外径が大きな部分(鍔部分)を含む絶縁体、具体的には樹脂系材料からなるリング状の部材(以下、「リング状絶縁部材」ともいう。)312とからなる。このリング状絶縁部材312における中央の中空部に中心側の部材311がはめ込まれることにより、電極接触部305は構成される。   From the viewpoint of considering the skin effect in such a high frequency signal, the electrode contact portion 305 of the plunger 307 of the anisotropic conductive member 300 according to the present embodiment is made of a conductive material, specifically a metal material, A ring-shaped member (hereinafter referred to as “ring-shaped insulation”) including a member 311 on the center side that is in direct contact and an insulator including a portion having a largest outer diameter (a flange portion) in the electrode contact portion 305, specifically, a resin-based material. 3). The electrode contact portion 305 is configured by fitting the central member 311 into the central hollow portion of the ring-shaped insulating member 312.

このような構造を有する電極接触部305は、そのような構造を有さないものに比べて、プランジャーの導体部分についてプランジャーの中心軸を含む断面で切断した断面の外側面の長さは、リング状絶縁部材312を含まない分短くなる。それゆえ、このような構造を有することにより高周波信号の劣化が抑制される。   The electrode contact portion 305 having such a structure has a length of the outer surface of a cross section cut by a cross section including the central axis of the plunger with respect to the conductor portion of the plunger as compared with the electrode contact portion 305 having no such structure. The ring-shaped insulating member 312 is not included and the length is shortened. Therefore, the deterioration of the high frequency signal is suppressed by having such a structure.

なお、中心側の部材311に対して弾性ソケット306を弾性ソケットの厚さ方向に圧縮するような力が付与されたときに、その力が電極接触部305の鍔部分に確実に伝達され、鍔部分において弾性ソケット306を圧縮できる構造を、中心側の部材311とリング状絶縁部材312とは有しているべきである。また、リング状絶縁部材312は段差構造を有し、弾性ソケット306における貫通孔314の内部にリング状絶縁部材312の一部分(本実施形態では段差部分)が挿入されていることが、使用状態またはその前後の使用時にプランジャーがバレルに対して傾きながら摺動することを抑制する観点から好ましい。   When a force that compresses the elastic socket 306 in the thickness direction of the elastic socket is applied to the central member 311, the force is reliably transmitted to the flange portion of the electrode contact portion 305. The central member 311 and the ring-shaped insulating member 312 should have a structure capable of compressing the elastic socket 306 at a portion. Further, the ring-shaped insulating member 312 has a step structure, and a part of the ring-shaped insulating member 312 (stepped portion in the present embodiment) is inserted into the through hole 314 in the elastic socket 306. It is preferable from the viewpoint of suppressing the plunger from sliding while tilting with respect to the barrel during use before and after that.

本実施形態に係るアウターバレル309は前述のように二つの開口を有し、弾性ソケットの厚さ方向で第一の柱状体側(本実施形態においてはプランジャー307側)と反対側の端部に設けられた第二の開口318はその縁部から内側に突出する第二の部分閉塞部313を備える。そして、インナーバレル308は少なくともその一部、具体的には、インナーバレル308の開口316の周縁部およびこれに続く外側面の少なくとも一部が部分閉塞部302と第二の部分閉塞部313とを両端とするアウターバレル309の中空内に配置される。第二の部分閉塞部313の具体的な構造は、部分閉塞部302同様任意である。   The outer barrel 309 according to the present embodiment has two openings as described above, and is provided at the end opposite to the first columnar body side (the plunger 307 side in the present embodiment) in the thickness direction of the elastic socket. The provided second opening 318 includes a second partial blocking portion 313 that protrudes inward from the edge portion. The inner barrel 308 has at least a part thereof, specifically, a peripheral portion of the opening 316 of the inner barrel 308 and at least a part of the outer side surface following the partial closed portion 302 and the second partial closed portion 313. It arrange | positions in the hollow of the outer barrel 309 used as both ends. The specific structure of the second partially closed portion 313 is arbitrary as with the partially closed portion 302.

このような構造を有することにより、アウターバレル309の内側面とインナーバレル308の外側面との間にクリアランスがあってアウターバレル309内でインナーバレル308が自由に動くことができる状態であっても、アウターバレル309からインナーバレル308が脱落することが防止される。   By having such a structure, even if there is a clearance between the inner surface of the outer barrel 309 and the outer surface of the inner barrel 308, the inner barrel 308 can move freely within the outer barrel 309. The inner barrel 308 is prevented from dropping from the outer barrel 309.

なお、このような二つの部分閉塞部を有するアウターバレル309を、成形金型を用いて一体で作る場合には材料として軟質樹脂などを選定すればよい。一般的に無理抜きと言われる方法により、内側面から突出する部分があってもアウターバレル309を金型から取り出すことが可能である。そのような材料の具体例として、先に例示したナイロンやポリアセタールなどが挙げられる。   In addition, what is necessary is just to select soft resin etc. as a material, when producing the outer barrel 309 which has such two partial obstruction | occlusion parts integrally using a molding die. The outer barrel 309 can be removed from the mold even if there is a portion protruding from the inner surface by a method generally called unreasonable. Specific examples of such materials include nylon and polyacetal exemplified above.

以下、本実施形態に係る異方導電性部材の製造方法の一例について説明する。
まず、インナーバレル308は、アウターバレル309の第二の部分閉塞部313が設けられた第二の開口318側からその内部に圧入され、部分閉塞部302および第二の部分閉塞部313によってアウターバレル309内に保持される。
Hereinafter, an example of the method for manufacturing the anisotropic conductive member according to the present embodiment will be described.
First, the inner barrel 308 is press-fitted into the inside from the second opening 318 side where the second partial blocking portion 313 of the outer barrel 309 is provided. 309.

次に、インナーバレル308とアウターバレル309とからなるバレル303を、弾性ソケット306における貫通孔314の一方の開口側から挿入する。すなわち、バレル303の部分閉塞部302を有する開口と反対側の端部の外側面から外側に突出する突出部である鍔部分315における弾性ソケット306の主面に対向する一方の面が、弾性ソケット306の主面における貫通孔314の周縁部に接触するように、バレル303を貫通孔314に部分的に挿入する。   Next, the barrel 303 including the inner barrel 308 and the outer barrel 309 is inserted from one opening side of the through hole 314 in the elastic socket 306. That is, one surface facing the main surface of the elastic socket 306 in the flange portion 315 which is a protruding portion protruding outward from the outer surface of the end portion on the opposite side to the opening having the partial closing portion 302 of the barrel 303 is an elastic socket. The barrel 303 is partially inserted into the through-hole 314 so as to contact the peripheral edge of the through-hole 314 on the main surface of 306.

ここで、貫通孔314の内径はバレル303の筒状の外側面の直径とほぼ等しく設定されているため、貫通孔314の内側面によってバレル303は保持され、貫通孔314からバレル303は容易には抜け落ちない。   Here, since the inner diameter of the through hole 314 is set to be approximately equal to the diameter of the cylindrical outer surface of the barrel 303, the barrel 303 is held by the inner surface of the through hole 314, and the barrel 303 can be easily moved from the through hole 314 to the barrel 303. Will not fall out.

なお、アウターバレル309が前述のように中心軸を含む平面で分割されている場合には、まず、アウターバレル309を貫通孔314に挿入し、その後インナーバレル308をアウターバレル309内に挿入してもよい。アウターバレル309は分割されているため、インナーバレル308の挿入は容易である。   When the outer barrel 309 is divided by the plane including the central axis as described above, first, the outer barrel 309 is inserted into the through hole 314, and then the inner barrel 308 is inserted into the outer barrel 309. Also good. Since the outer barrel 309 is divided, the inner barrel 308 can be easily inserted.

続いて、中心側の部材311とリング状絶縁部材312とを備えるプランジャー307を、弾性ソケット306における貫通孔314の他方の開口側から挿入する。プランジャー307を挿入することによってプランジャー307の太径部301がバレル303の部分閉塞部302に接したら、さらにプランジャー307を貫通孔314内に挿入するよう押し込んで、太径部301によって部分閉塞部302を変形させて、太径部301をバレル303の中空部304内に挿入する。太径部301が中空部304内に完全に挿入されると、部分閉塞部302は変形した状態から初期の状態に戻り、太径部301は中空部304内に保持される。   Subsequently, a plunger 307 including a central member 311 and a ring-shaped insulating member 312 is inserted from the other opening side of the through hole 314 in the elastic socket 306. When the large diameter portion 301 of the plunger 307 comes into contact with the partially closed portion 302 of the barrel 303 by inserting the plunger 307, the plunger 307 is further pushed into the through hole 314 to be inserted, and the large diameter portion 301 The closed portion 302 is deformed and the large diameter portion 301 is inserted into the hollow portion 304 of the barrel 303. When the large diameter portion 301 is completely inserted into the hollow portion 304, the partially closed portion 302 returns from the deformed state to the initial state, and the large diameter portion 301 is held in the hollow portion 304.

こうして、プランジャー307とバレル303とからなる連結体(以下、「プローブピン」という場合もある。)は、弾性ソケット306の貫通孔314内に、容易には分離しない状態で保持される。   In this way, the coupling body (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “probe pin”) composed of the plunger 307 and the barrel 303 is held in the through hole 314 of the elastic socket 306 without being easily separated.

図4は、本実施形態に係る異方導電性部材300の使用状態を概念的に示す断面図である。   FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view conceptually showing a usage state of the anisotropic conductive member 300 according to the present embodiment.

図5は、本発明の第三の実施形態に係る異方導電性部材の一例(本明細書において、「実施例3−1」ともいう。)の弾性ソケットの厚さ方向の断面の一部を概念的に示す図である。
図5に示される実施例3−1に係る異方導電性部材は、プローブピンが、弾性ソケットに設けられた貫通孔に部分的に挿設されることによって弾性ソケットに対して保持されている。
FIG. 5 is a part of a cross section in the thickness direction of an elastic socket of an example of an anisotropic conductive member according to the third embodiment of the present invention (also referred to as “Example 3-1” in the present specification). FIG.
The anisotropic conductive member according to Example 3-1 shown in FIG. 5 is held with respect to the elastic socket by partially inserting the probe pin into the through hole provided in the elastic socket. .

実施例3−1に係る異方導電性部材のバレルの構造は第二の実施形態に係る異方導電性部材300のバレル303と同一の構造である。実施例3−1に係る異方導電性部材のプランジャーの構造も、ほとんど第二の実施形態に係る異方導電性部材300のプランジャー307と等しいが、実施例3−1に係る異方導電性部材では、第二の実施形態に係る異方導電性部材300の貫通孔314と異なり、貫通孔におけるプランジャー側の開口部を含む領域が狭まっている。つまり、実施例3−1の貫通孔は、径が細い細孔部および径が太い太孔部を弾性ソケットの厚さ方向に隣接して備え、この細孔部内にプランジャーの細径部が配置され、太孔部内にバレル303の基板接触部以外の部分が配置されている。この構成に合わせて、実施例3−1のプランジャーにおけるリング状絶縁部材は、第二の実施形態のプランジャー307におけるリング状絶縁部材312に比べて、中央の中空部の直径が小さくなっている。また、この構造の場合には、使用状態またはその前後の使用時にプランジャーがバレルに対して傾きながら摺動することが貫通孔における細孔部の内側面によって抑制されるため、実施例3−1のリング状絶縁部材は段差構造を有していなくともよい。また、リング状絶縁部材の外径が小さい場合にこの部材が貫通孔の内部に入り込んでバレルとプランジャーとの摺動を阻害することも、貫通孔における細孔部の孔径が小さいことによって抑制されている。   The structure of the barrel of the anisotropic conductive member according to Example 3-1 is the same as that of the barrel 303 of the anisotropic conductive member 300 according to the second embodiment. The structure of the plunger of the anisotropic conductive member according to Example 3-1 is almost the same as that of the plunger 307 of the anisotropic conductive member 300 according to the second embodiment, but is anisotropic according to Example 3-1. In the conductive member, unlike the through hole 314 of the anisotropic conductive member 300 according to the second embodiment, the region including the plunger side opening in the through hole is narrowed. That is, the through-hole of Example 3-1 includes a fine-diameter fine hole part and a thick-diameter thick hole part adjacent to the thickness direction of the elastic socket, and the small-diameter part of the plunger is located in the fine hole part. The portion other than the substrate contact portion of the barrel 303 is disposed in the thick hole portion. In accordance with this configuration, the ring-shaped insulating member in the plunger of Example 3-1 has a smaller diameter of the central hollow portion than the ring-shaped insulating member 312 in the plunger 307 of the second embodiment. Yes. Further, in the case of this structure, the sliding of the plunger while tilting with respect to the barrel during use or before and after use thereof is suppressed by the inner side surface of the pore portion in the through hole, so that Example 3- One ring-shaped insulating member may not have a step structure. In addition, when the outer diameter of the ring-shaped insulating member is small, this member can also be prevented from entering the inside of the through hole and hindering sliding between the barrel and the plunger due to the small hole diameter of the through hole. Has been.

図6は、図5に示される実施例3−1に係る異方導電性部材の使用状態を概念的に示す断面図である。
図6に示されるように、ICの端子(はんだボール)によりプランジャーが押し込まれることによって、プランジャーの太径部はバレルの中空部内の奥に移動し、これに伴い、貫通孔の太孔部の内部におけるバレルもプランジャーも存在しない空隙領域が圧縮される。図6に示される実施例3−1に係る異方導電性部材においては、弾性ソケットにおける細孔部と太孔部との段差部分がバレルに接触している。この空隙領域の有無や大きさは、貫通孔における細孔部および太孔部の弾性ソケットの厚さ方向の長さのバランスを変更することによって任意に設定可能であり、空隙領域が使用状態において消滅するようにしてもよいし、残留するようにしてもよい。
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view conceptually showing a usage state of the anisotropic conductive member according to Example 3-1 shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6, when the plunger is pushed in by the IC terminal (solder ball), the large diameter portion of the plunger moves to the back of the hollow portion of the barrel. The void area within which the barrel or plunger is not present is compressed. In the anisotropic conductive member according to Example 3-1 shown in FIG. 6, the step portion between the fine hole portion and the thick hole portion in the elastic socket is in contact with the barrel. The presence / absence and size of the void region can be arbitrarily set by changing the balance of the length of the elastic socket in the through hole to the pore portion and the large hole portion. It may be allowed to disappear or may remain.

図7は、第三の実施形態に係る異方導電性部材の他の一例(本明細書において、「実施例3−2」ともいう。)の弾性ソケットの厚さ方向の断面の一部を概念的に示す図である。
図7に示される実施例3−2に係る異方導電性部材では、上記の空隙領域は、使用状態の前の状態、つまり電極接触部および基板接触部にこれらを圧縮する外力が付与されていない状態でも空隙が発生しないように構成されている。すなわち、本実施例では、バレルにおける弾性ソケットの厚さ方向の弾性ソケットの中心側の端部(以下、「バレルの電極側端部」ともいう。)は、貫通孔の太孔部と細孔部とが作る段差部分(以下、「貫通孔段差部」ともいう。)に接している。この構造の場合には、使用状態において電極接触部と基板接触部とに外力が付与されてこれらが弾性ソケットの厚さ方向に近接したときにこれらを離間させる弾性復元力が弾性ソケットに生じるように弾性ソケットの一部を圧縮する部分は、プランジャーではリング状絶縁部材であり、バレルではバレルの電極側端部である。したがって、本変形例に係るバレルは、第一の実施形態、第二の実施形態、および実施例3−1におけるバレルでは必須となっていた基板接触部の鍔部分が不要となっている。この基板接触部が鍔部分を有さないことはプローブピンの配置を狭ピッチ化することに有効である。
FIG. 7 is a partial cross-sectional view in the thickness direction of an elastic socket of another example of the anisotropic conductive member according to the third embodiment (also referred to as “Example 3-2” in this specification). It is a figure shown notionally.
In the anisotropic conductive member according to Example 3-2 shown in FIG. 7, the gap region is given an external force that compresses them in the state before use, that is, the electrode contact portion and the substrate contact portion. Even if there is no gap, the gap is not generated. In other words, in this embodiment, the end of the barrel in the thickness direction of the elastic socket in the barrel (hereinafter also referred to as “the end on the electrode side of the barrel”) is the large hole portion and the pore of the through hole. Is in contact with a step portion formed by the portion (hereinafter also referred to as “through-hole step portion”). In the case of this structure, when an external force is applied to the electrode contact portion and the substrate contact portion in the usage state, and when they are close to each other in the thickness direction of the elastic socket, an elastic restoring force is generated in the elastic socket to separate them. The part that compresses a part of the elastic socket is a ring-shaped insulating member in the plunger and an electrode side end of the barrel in the barrel. Therefore, the barrel according to this modification does not require the flange portion of the substrate contact portion that is essential in the barrels of the first embodiment, the second embodiment, and the example 3-1. The fact that the substrate contact portion does not have a flange portion is effective for narrowing the arrangement of probe pins.

図8は、図7に示される実施例3−2に係る異方導電性部材の使用状態を概念的に示す断面図である。
図8に示されるように、ICの端子(はんだボール)によりプランジャーが押し込まれることによって、プランジャーの太径部はバレルの中空部内の奥に移動する。この移動に伴い貫通孔の細孔部の周辺をなす弾性ソケットが圧縮され、この圧縮された部分の弾性ソケットの弾性回復力に基づいて、プランジャーのリング状絶縁部材およびバレルの電極側端部に対して両者を離間させる力が付与される。
FIG. 8 is a sectional view conceptually showing a usage state of the anisotropic conductive member according to Example 3-2 shown in FIG. 7.
As shown in FIG. 8, when the plunger is pushed in by the IC terminal (solder ball), the large-diameter portion of the plunger moves to the back of the hollow portion of the barrel. Along with this movement, the elastic socket that forms the periphery of the pore portion of the through hole is compressed, and based on the elastic recovery force of the elastic socket of this compressed portion, the ring-shaped insulating member of the plunger and the electrode side end of the barrel A force for separating the two is applied.

図9は、第三の実施形態に係る異方導電性部材の別の他の一例(本明細書において、「実施例3−3」ともいう。)の弾性ソケットの厚さ方向の断面の一部を概念的に示す図である。
実施例3−3におけるプローブピンと貫通孔との関係は実施例3−2と同じであり、バレルの電極側端部は貫通孔段差部に接している。しかしながら、実施例3−3のバレルは、実施例3−2のバレルと異なり二重管構造を有していない。実施例3−3のバレルは、単管構造であるが、部分閉塞部を構成する部材が他の部材と別体であり、具体的には部分閉塞部を構成する部材は樹脂系材料からなり、その他の部分は金属系材料からなる。そして、部分閉塞部を構成する部材は、貫通孔段差部分と金属系材料からなる他の部材とに挟まれることにより、他の部材に対する位置変動が制限されている。
FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view in the thickness direction of an elastic socket of another example of the anisotropic conductive member according to the third embodiment (also referred to as “Example 3-3” in this specification). It is a figure which shows a part notionally.
The relationship between the probe pin and the through hole in Example 3-3 is the same as that in Example 3-2, and the electrode side end of the barrel is in contact with the through hole step. However, unlike the barrel of Example 3-2, the barrel of Example 3-3 does not have a double tube structure. The barrel of Example 3-3 has a single tube structure, but the member constituting the partially closed portion is separate from the other members. Specifically, the member constituting the partially closed portion is made of a resin material. The other parts are made of a metal-based material. And the member which comprises a partial obstruction | occlusion part is pinched | interposed into the through-hole level | step-difference part and the other member which consists of metal type materials, and the position fluctuation | variation with respect to another member is restrict | limited.

この構成では、実施例3−2のバレルに比べて、アウターバレルを有さない分、バレルの外径が小さい。このバレルが細いことは、貫通孔の最大内径を小さくすることができるため、プローブピンの配置を狭ピッチ化することに有効である。   In this configuration, the outer diameter of the barrel is smaller than that of the barrel of Example 3-2 because the outer barrel is not provided. The narrow barrel is effective in reducing the pitch of the probe pins because the maximum inner diameter of the through hole can be reduced.

なお、実施例3−3では部分閉塞部を構成する部材は樹脂系材料からなるが、これに限定されない。例えば、部分閉塞部を構成する部材が複数の部材から構成されている場合には、この部材は金属系材料から構成されていてもよい。このような場合の具体例として、リング状の構造体がリングの中心軸を含む面で2分割された構成が挙げられる。この構成では、プランジャーの太径部と接触することによってこの部材はリング状の構造体が折れ曲がるように分離し、部分閉塞部としての機能を失って、太径部がバレルの内部に挿入されることが可能となる。一方、使用状態では、貫通孔段差部と金属系材料からなる他の部材とがこのリング状の構造体を圧縮するため、この構造体の分離は抑制される。したがって、使用状態において太径部がバレルから抜けてしまうことは十分に抑制されている。   In Example 3-3, the member constituting the partially closed portion is made of a resin material, but is not limited to this. For example, when the member which comprises a partial obstruction | occlusion part is comprised from several members, this member may be comprised from the metal type material. As a specific example in such a case, there is a configuration in which a ring-shaped structure is divided into two on a plane including the central axis of the ring. In this configuration, by contacting the large diameter portion of the plunger, this member is separated so that the ring-shaped structure is bent, and the function as a partially closed portion is lost, and the large diameter portion is inserted into the barrel. It is possible to On the other hand, since the through-hole step portion and the other member made of a metal-based material compress the ring-shaped structure in use, the separation of the structure is suppressed. Therefore, the large diameter portion is sufficiently prevented from coming out of the barrel in use.

以下、これまで説明した第二の実施形態に係る異方導電性部材、および実施例3−1から3−3に係る異方導電性部材の変形例について列記する。
図10は第二の実施形態に係る異方導電性部材の一変形例(本明細書において、「変形例1」ともいう。)の弾性ソケットの厚さ方向の断面の一部を概念的に示す図である。
変形例1に係る異方導電性部材は、使用前の状態、すなわち弾性ソケットの貫通孔内にプローブピンが配置された状態で、電極接触部の鍔部分および基板接触部の鍔部分は弾性ソケットを圧縮している。このため、異方導電性部材の電極接触部とICの端子(はんだボール)との接触が開始された初期の段階から、プランジャーとICの端子、およびバレルと検査用基板の電極との間に接触圧力が発生し、電気的接触がより安定して好ましい。
Hereinafter, the anisotropic conductive members according to the second embodiment described so far and the modified examples of the anisotropic conductive members according to Examples 3-1 to 3-3 will be listed.
FIG. 10 conceptually shows a part of a cross section in the thickness direction of an elastic socket of a modified example (also referred to as “modified example 1” in this specification) of an anisotropic conductive member according to the second embodiment. FIG.
The anisotropic conductive member according to Modification 1 is in a state before use, that is, in a state where the probe pin is disposed in the through hole of the elastic socket, and the flange portion of the electrode contact portion and the flange portion of the substrate contact portion are elastic sockets. Is compressed. For this reason, from the initial stage when the contact between the electrode contact portion of the anisotropic conductive member and the IC terminal (solder ball) is started, between the plunger and the IC terminal, and between the barrel and the electrode of the inspection substrate A contact pressure is generated in this case, and electrical contact is more stable and preferable.

この変形例1の構成は、第二の実施形態に係る異方導電性部材、および実施例3−1から3−3に係る異方導電性部材のいずれにも適用することができる。   The configuration of Modification 1 can be applied to both the anisotropic conductive member according to the second embodiment and the anisotropic conductive member according to Examples 3-1 to 3-3.

図11は第二の実施形態に係る異方導電性部材の他の一変形例(本明細書において、「変形例2」ともいう。)の弾性ソケットの厚さ方向の断面の一部を概念的に示す図である。   FIG. 11 conceptually shows a part of a cross section in the thickness direction of an elastic socket of another modified example of the anisotropic conductive member according to the second embodiment (also referred to as “modified example 2” in this specification). FIG.

変形例2に係る異方導電性部材は、リング状絶縁部材とこれに対向する弾性ソケットの表面との間に接着層を有している。リング状絶縁部材が弾性ソケットの表面に接着剤などで固着されることにより、弾性ソケットが圧縮されたときにリング状絶縁部材が弾性ソケットの貫通孔内に潜り込む可能性を排除することができ、好ましい。この例では接着剤層によりリング状絶縁部材と弾性ソケットとを固着させたが、弾性ソケットがラバーからなる場合には、接着剤層に代えて、硬度の高い薄いリング状のラバーを挟んでもよい。ラバー同士の摩擦力は極めて大きいため、リング状絶縁部材の弾性ソケットに対するずれを安定的に抑制することができる。   The anisotropic conductive member which concerns on the modification 2 has an adhesive layer between the ring-shaped insulation member and the surface of the elastic socket facing this. By fixing the ring-shaped insulating member to the surface of the elastic socket with an adhesive or the like, it is possible to eliminate the possibility that the ring-shaped insulating member will sink into the through hole of the elastic socket when the elastic socket is compressed, preferable. In this example, the ring-shaped insulating member and the elastic socket are fixed by the adhesive layer. However, when the elastic socket is made of rubber, a thin ring-shaped rubber having high hardness may be sandwiched instead of the adhesive layer. . Since the frictional force between the rubbers is extremely large, the displacement of the ring-shaped insulating member with respect to the elastic socket can be stably suppressed.

この変形例2の構成は、第二の実施形態に係る異方導電性部材、および実施例3−1から3−3に係る異方導電性部材のいずれにも適用することができる。   The configuration of Modification 2 can be applied to both the anisotropic conductive member according to the second embodiment and the anisotropic conductive member according to Examples 3-1 to 3-3.

図12は実施例3−1に係る異方導電性部材の一変形例(本明細書において、「変形例3」ともいう。)の弾性ソケットの厚さ方向の断面の一部を概念的に示す図である。   FIG. 12 conceptually shows a part of a cross section in the thickness direction of an elastic socket of a modified example (also referred to as “modified example 3” in this specification) of an anisotropic conductive member according to Example 3-1. FIG.

変形例3に係る異方導電性部材は、プランジャーがリング状絶縁部材を有していない。このため、プランジャーの外径が小さくなっている。このプランジャーの最大外径部が細いことはプローブピンの配置を狭ピッチ化することに有効である。
この変形例3の構成は、実施例3−1から3−3に係る異方導電性部材のいずれにも適用することができる。
In the anisotropic conductive member according to Modification 3, the plunger does not have a ring-shaped insulating member. For this reason, the outer diameter of the plunger is small. The fact that the maximum outer diameter portion of the plunger is thin is effective in narrowing the arrangement of the probe pins.

図13は第二の実施形態に係る異方導電性部材の別の他の一変形例(本明細書において、「変形例4」ともいう。)の弾性ソケットの厚さ方向の断面の一部を概念的に示す図である。
変形例4に係る異方導電性部材は、インナーバレルがすべり面を構成する筒状の部材と基板接触部の一部を構成する部材とからなる。かかる構造を有することにより、筒状の部材の肉厚を薄くすることが可能となる。それゆえ、アウターバレルの外径を小さくすることができる。アウターバレルが細くなることは、貫通孔の最大内径を小さくすることができるため、プローブピンの配置を狭ピッチ化することに有効である。また、インナーバレルの製造が容易になるという利点もある。
FIG. 13 is a part of a cross section in the thickness direction of an elastic socket of another modified example of the anisotropic conductive member according to the second embodiment (also referred to as “modified example 4” in the present specification). FIG.

The narrowing of the outer barrel can reduce the maximum inner diameter of the through hole, and is therefore effective in narrowing the arrangement of the probe pins. There is also an advantage that the inner barrel can be easily manufactured.

この変形例4の構成は、第二の実施形態に係る異方導電性部材、および実施例3−1から3−3に係る異方導電性部材のいずれにも適用することができる。   The configuration of Modification 4 can be applied to both the anisotropic conductive member according to the second embodiment and the anisotropic conductive member according to Examples 3-1 to 3-3.

That is, the plunger provided with the slide shaft has the substrate contact portion, and the barrel provided with the slide surface has the electrode contact portion.

この変形例5の構成は、第二の実施形態に係る異方導電性部材、ならびに実施例3−1および3−2に係る異方導電性部材のいずれにも適用することができる。   The configuration of Modification 5 can be applied to both the anisotropic conductive member according to the second embodiment and the anisotropic conductive members according to Examples 3-1 and 3-2.

以上の変形例1から5は、単独で適用してもよいし、複数の変形例に係る構成を組み合わせて適用してもよい。   The modifications 1 to 5 described above may be applied alone, or may be applied in combination with configurations according to a plurality of modifications.
