The dowel 22ft functions to prevent the contact terminal 22ai from collapsing in the X-coordinate axis direction, and also functions as a temporary fixing portion.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the pair of overhang portions 22fa, the dowels 22ft, and the pair of temporary locking claws 22fc are inserted into the holes 26d and 26e, respectively. When the contact portion 22fp of the projection piece 22t of the board side fixed terminal portion 22F protruding from the outer surface of the first contact terminal support plate 26 is pressed by a predetermined pressure F, the contact portion 22fp coincides with the outer surface. Is pushed out from the hole 26d and the hole 26e.

  In assembling the contact pin module 20, first, the plurality of contact terminals 22 ai are arranged in the recess 26 </ b> A of the first contact terminal support plate 26. At that time, a pair of overhanging portions 22fa, dowels 22ft and a pair of temporary pawl portions 22fc of the board-side fixed terminal portion 22F of each contact terminal 22ai are shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, respectively. Thus, the holes 26d and 26e are inserted and temporarily fixed. Next, the movable contact portions 22C of the contact terminals 22ai are inserted into the through holes 28ai of the second contact terminal support plate 28 and the stepped holes 42ai of the contact terminal alignment plate 42 which are close to each other. Thereby, the movable contact portion 22C of each contact terminal 22ai is automatically inserted into the hole 42e of the contact terminal alignment plate 42. At that time, the two claw portions of the second contact terminal support plate 28 are respectively inserted into the holes 26db of the first contact terminal support plate 26 and locked around the holes 26db. Subsequently, the coil spring 24 is inserted between the contact terminal alignment plate 42 and the second contact terminal support plate 28 and one end thereof is inserted into the recess 28D. The two connecting claws 42NA and the two connecting claws 42NB of the contact terminal alignment plate 42 to which the positioning member 40 is attached are inserted into the two through holes 28da and the two through holes 28db, respectively, and are engaged with the periphery thereof.

When the contact portion 22fp of 22F is pressed by, for example, a predetermined jig or the like, the pair of temporary pawl portions 22fc is pushed out from the hole 26e, and the pair of overhang portions 22fa is pushed out of the hole 26d. For example, when pushed out until the contact portion 22fp coincides with the outer surface, the pair of overhang portions 22fa, dowels 22ft, and the pair of temporary claw portions 22fc are respectively inserted from the holes 26d and 26e. Extruded. That is, the pair of overhang portions 22fa and the pair of temporary locking claws 22fc of the board-side fixed terminal portion 22F of each contact terminal 22ai are inserted into the holes 26d and 26e, respectively, and engaged with each other. From this state, the second position is pushed out from the hole 26d and the hole 26e.

  Then, after the assembled contact pin module 20 is mounted in the contact pin module housing portion 30A of the base member 30, the base member 30 is fixed to the printed wiring board PCB by the machine screw BS1. At this time, since the pair of overhang portions 22ca are brought into contact with the end face of the second contact terminal support plate 28, a predetermined preload (preload) is applied to the curved piece portion 22m.

  Accordingly, the semiconductor device DV in which the electrode portion DVa of the semiconductor device DV placed on the contact terminal alignment plate 42 is positioned by the hole 42b is pressed by the pressing protrusion 36P of the pressing body 36, and the contact terminal alignment plate 42 is When approaching the second contact terminal support plate 28, the electrode part DVa of the semiconductor device DV is electrically connected to the contact part 22P protruding into the hole 42b.

  In the first embodiment of the contact terminal according to the present invention described above, the pair of overhang portions 22fa and the pair of temporary pawl portions 22fc of the board-side fixed terminal portion 22F of the contact terminal 22ai are respectively the first contact terminals. Although it is inserted into the holes 26d and 26e in the stepped holes 26bi of the support plate 26 and temporarily fixed, it is not limited to such an example, and instead of the stepped holes 26bi of the first contact terminal support plate 26, For example, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, a circular hole 26′e may be used.

  In such a case, the pair of temporary locking claws 22′fc of the contact terminal 22′ai is inserted into the circular hole 26′e of the first contact terminal support plate 26 ′ and temporarily fixed, and the pair of overhangs The portion 22′fa may be in contact with the peripheral edge of the hole 26′e.

  Therefore, since the first contact terminal support plate is assembled in a state where the movable contact portion 75C of the contact terminal 75 is supported by the second contact terminal support plate 70, for example, an automatic assembly machine can also connect the plurality of contact terminals 75. The first contact terminal support plate and the second contact terminal support plate 70 can be easily assembled.

  Furthermore, the plurality of contact terminals each having a pair of temporary fastening claws are not limited to the contact terminals made by press working, for example, as shown in FIGS. 33 (A) and (B). The probe pin 78 may be used.

  The probe pin 78 includes, for example, a device-side plunger 76 having a contact portion 76C that selectively contacts the electrode portion DVa of the semiconductor device DV, and a contact portion that contacts the electrode pad of the printed circuit board PCB. A substrate-side plunger (not shown) provided at one end, a coil spring (not shown) that urges the device-side plunger 76 and the substrate-side plunger in a direction away from each other, a base end portion of the device-side plunger 76, and a substrate-side plunger And a sleeve 79 for accommodating a coil spring.

  The device-side plunger 76 has a pair of temporary fixing ring portions 76fc that are integrally formed at a predetermined position. The temporary fixing ring portion 75fc takes a position where it is inserted into the hole 70e and engaged with the inner peripheral surface, and a position protruding from the hole 70e (see FIG. 33B).

Therefore, even in such a configuration, the first contact terminal support plate is assembled with the device side plunger 76 of the probe pin 78 supported by the second contact terminal support plate 70. The plurality of device side plungers 76 can be easily assembled to the first contact terminal support plate and the second contact terminal support plate 70.
In the above example, the board-side fixed terminal portion of the contact terminal has a pair of temporary locking claws at one location. However, the present invention is not limited to such an example. You may have a nail | claw part for a stop in several places.
