Description

本発明は、スペーサの上下に設けられた弾性接点を有してなる接点部材に係り、特に、上側弾性接点と下側弾性接点とを適切に前記スペーサに接合でき、電気的信頼性を向上させることが可能な接点部材及びその製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a contact member having elastic contacts provided above and below a spacer, and in particular, an upper elastic contact and a lower elastic contact can be appropriately joined to the spacer to improve electrical reliability. It is related with the contact member which can be manufactured, and its manufacturing method.

超微細化する電子部品の電気的試験を良好に行なうために、弾性接点としてスパイラル接触子を有する接続基板が開発されている。また前記接続基板は電子部品と基板間などのコネクタ等としても使用できる。   In order to satisfactorily perform electrical tests on ultra-fine electronic components, connection substrates having spiral contacts as elastic contacts have been developed. The connection board can also be used as a connector between the electronic component and the board.

前記接続基板は、下記の特許文献1では、スペーサ(プリント基板)の上に導電接着剤を介してスパイラル接触子を多数有するシート部材(レジストフィルム)が貼り付けられた構造である。   In the following Patent Document 1, the connection substrate has a structure in which a sheet member (resist film) having a large number of spiral contacts is attached to a spacer (printed substrate) via a conductive adhesive.

例えば特許文献1の図8等には前記スパイラル接触子の平面形状が開示されている。前記スパイラル接触子は、弾性変形可能なスパイラル状の弾性変形部と、前記弾性変形部の外周を囲むリング形状の固定部とで構成されている。
前記固定部が前記スペーサに前記導電性接着剤を介して接着固定される。
特開2002−175859号公報
For example, FIG. 8 of Patent Document 1 discloses a planar shape of the spiral contact. The spiral contact includes an elastically deformable spiral deformable portion and a ring-shaped fixed portion surrounding the outer periphery of the elastic deformable portion.
The fixing portion is bonded and fixed to the spacer via the conductive adhesive.
JP 2002-175859 A

特許文献1の図4等に示すようにスパイラル接触子を多数設けるとき、スペーサに対する単位面積当たりの実装密度を高めるためには、前記スパイラル接触子の固定部がリング形状ではないほうがよい。またスパイラル接触子の弾性変形部に大きなばね定数を与えるには前記弾性変形部の幅寸法を大きくしたいが、特許文献1のようにリング形状の固定部の内側にスパイラル形状の弾性変形部を設ける構造では、前記弾性変形部の幅寸法を広くするにも限界があり、また前記幅寸法を広くすれば、リング形状の固定部をさらに大きく形成しなければならず前記スパイラル接触子の実装密度の向上を高めることが出来ない。よって特許文献1のスパイラル接触子の構造では、前記スパイラル接触子の実装密度の向上とばね定数の向上の双方を同時に得ることが出来ない。   When a large number of spiral contacts are provided as shown in FIG. 4 and the like of Patent Document 1, in order to increase the mounting density per unit area with respect to the spacer, it is preferable that the fixing portion of the spiral contacts is not ring-shaped. In order to give a large spring constant to the elastically deforming portion of the spiral contact, it is desired to increase the width of the elastically deforming portion. However, as in Patent Document 1, a spiral elastic deforming portion is provided inside the ring-shaped fixing portion. In the structure, there is a limit to increasing the width dimension of the elastically deformable portion, and if the width dimension is increased, a ring-shaped fixing portion must be formed larger, and the mounting density of the spiral contactor is reduced. The improvement cannot be increased. Therefore, in the structure of the spiral contact of Patent Document 1, it is impossible to obtain both the improvement of the mounting density of the spiral contact and the improvement of the spring constant at the same time.

そこで例えば図12に示すように、スパイラル接触子1のスパイラル形状に形成された弾性変形部2の巻き始端2aからY1−Y2方向にのみ略直線状に延びる固定部3を形成し、前記弾性変形部2の外側の周囲全てを特許文献1のように前記固定部3にて囲まない形状が考えられた。図12に示す幅方向(図示X1−X2方向)を行と、長さ方向(Y1−Y2方向)を列としたとき、特に図12に示すように同じ行に並ぶスパイラル接触子1を同じ形状にて形成するとともに、列方向にて隣接する一方の行に並ぶスパイラル接触子1の弾性変形部2と固定部3との配置関係に対し(例えば図12に示す図示上側の行に並ぶスパイラル接触子1は、弾性変形部2に対し右側に固定部3が配置される)、もう一方の行に並ぶスパイラル接触子1では、前記配置関係を逆にすることで(図12に示す図示下側の行に並ぶスパイラル接触子1は、弾性変形部2に対し左側に固定部3が配置される)、前記スパイラル接触子の実装密度を向上させることが可能になり、特許出願人は、かかる発明を既に、特願2004−79745号として出願している。   Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, a fixing portion 3 extending substantially linearly only in the Y1-Y2 direction from the winding start end 2a of the elastic deformation portion 2 formed in the spiral shape of the spiral contact 1 is formed, and the elastic deformation A shape that does not surround the entire outer periphery of the portion 2 with the fixing portion 3 as in Patent Document 1 was considered. When the width direction (X1-X2 direction shown in FIG. 12) is a row and the length direction (Y1-Y2 direction) is a column, the spiral contacts 1 arranged in the same row as shown in FIG. The spiral contact 1 arranged in one row adjacent in the column direction and the arrangement of the elastically deforming portion 2 and the fixing portion 3 of the spiral contact 1 (for example, spiral contact arranged in the upper row shown in FIG. 12) The fixing element 3 is arranged on the right side of the elastic deformation part 2), and the arrangement of the spiral contacts 1 arranged in the other row is reversed (the lower side shown in FIG. 12). In the spiral contacts 1 arranged in a row, the fixing portion 3 is arranged on the left side with respect to the elastic deformation portion 2), and the mounting density of the spiral contacts can be improved. Already with Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-79745 It has filed Te.

図12に示す複数のスパイラル接触子1は、樹脂性のシート部材4に保持され、前記シート部材4とスパイラル接触子1とからなる接点シート5は、スペーサ上に導電性接着剤を用いて接着固定される。   A plurality of spiral contacts 1 shown in FIG. 12 are held by a resinous sheet member 4, and a contact sheet 5 composed of the sheet member 4 and the spiral contact 1 is bonded onto a spacer using a conductive adhesive. Fixed.

ところで、前記スペーサの上下面に前記スパイラル接触子1を設けたいとき、前記接点シート5を、前記スペーサの上面に接合する接点シート(以下、上側接点シートと言う)と、前記スペーサの下面に接合する接点シート(以下、下側接点シートと言う)を同じ接点シートで形成することが製造費の削減等を実現できて好ましい。   By the way, when it is desired to provide the spiral contact 1 on the upper and lower surfaces of the spacer, the contact sheet 5 is bonded to the upper surface of the spacer and the lower surface of the spacer. It is preferable that the contact sheet to be formed (hereinafter referred to as the lower contact sheet) is formed of the same contact sheet because a reduction in manufacturing costs can be realized.

図12に示すように、前記接点シート5には前記スペーサに対する位置決め孔6,7,8が形成されている。図12に示す同じ接点シート5を2枚用意し、幅方向(図示X方向)及び長さ方向(図示Y方向)からそれぞれ45度の位置にあるラインAを回転軸として、一枚の接点シートを反転させる。すると反転させられた前記接点シートの平面形状は図13に示す形態として現われる。   As shown in FIG. 12, the contact sheet 5 is formed with positioning holes 6, 7 and 8 for the spacer. Two pieces of the same contact sheet 5 shown in FIG. 12 are prepared, and one contact sheet is set with the line A at a position of 45 degrees from the width direction (X direction shown in the figure) and the length direction (Y direction shown in the figure) as the rotation axis. Is reversed. Then, the planar shape of the inverted contact sheet appears as shown in FIG.

前記位置決め孔のうち図示左上にある符号6の円形状の位置決め孔はラインA上に設けられているため、ラインAを回転軸として反転させられた図13に示す接点シート5の位置決め孔6は図12の位置決め孔6と同じ位置にあり、図12に示す接点シートと、図13に示す接点シートとをスペーサの上下に設置したとき、前記位置決め孔6が前記スペーサの高さ方向にて対向する状態となる。一方、図12に示す図示左下及び図示右上にある符号7,8の位置決め孔は、前記ラインAを対称軸とした線対称関係にあるため、前記ラインAを回転軸として反転させると、図12に示す位置決め孔7は図13に示す位置決め孔8と同じ場所に位置し、図12に示す位置決め孔8は図13に示す位置決め孔7と同じ場所に位置し、図12に示す接点シートと、図13に示す接点シートとをスペーサの上下に設置したとき、前記位置決め孔7,8が前記スペーサの高さ方向にて対向する状態となる。このため図12に示す接点シート5を例えば上側接点シートとし、図13に示す接点シートを下側接点シートとしてスペーサの上下面に接着固定するとき、共通の位置決め部材を用いて、前記上側接点シート部材と下側接点シートとを前記スペーサに対し位置合わせでき、このように前記上側接点シートと、下側接点シートとを別個に位置合わせする必要がないため製造工程を簡略化できる。   Among the positioning holes, the circular positioning hole 6 shown in the upper left in the drawing is provided on the line A, and therefore the positioning hole 6 of the contact sheet 5 shown in FIG. 12 is located at the same position as the positioning hole 6 in FIG. 12, and when the contact sheet shown in FIG. 12 and the contact sheet shown in FIG. 13 are installed above and below the spacer, the positioning hole 6 faces in the height direction of the spacer. It becomes a state to do. On the other hand, the positioning holes 7 and 8 at the lower left and upper right in the figure shown in FIG. 12 are in a line-symmetrical relationship with the line A as the axis of symmetry. Is positioned at the same location as the positioning hole 8 shown in FIG. 13, the positioning hole 8 shown in FIG. 12 is located at the same location as the positioning hole 7 shown in FIG. 13, and the contact sheet shown in FIG. When the contact sheet shown in FIG. 13 is installed above and below the spacer, the positioning holes 7 and 8 face each other in the height direction of the spacer. For this reason, when the contact sheet 5 shown in FIG. 12 is used as an upper contact sheet, for example, and the contact sheet shown in FIG. 13 is used as a lower contact sheet and bonded and fixed to the upper and lower surfaces of the spacer, the upper contact sheet is used by using a common positioning member. The member and the lower contact sheet can be aligned with the spacer, and the manufacturing process can be simplified because it is not necessary to align the upper contact sheet and the lower contact sheet separately.

しかし、図12に示す上側接点シートと、図13に示す下側接点シートとをスペーサの上下面に接着固定したとき、図14に示すように、上側接点シートに設けられたスパイラル接触子の固定部3と、下側接点シートに設けられたスパイラル接触子の固定部3の前記スペーサを介して相対向する面積Bが非常に小さくなってしまうため、スペーサの上下に加圧部材を配置し、前記上側接点シート及び下側接点シートに前記加圧部材から加圧力を与えたとき、最も強く加圧される部位は前記面積Bの部分だけになり、それ以外の固定部3の部分には強い加圧力が作用しない。   However, when the upper contact sheet shown in FIG. 12 and the lower contact sheet shown in FIG. 13 are bonded and fixed to the upper and lower surfaces of the spacer, the spiral contact provided on the upper contact sheet is fixed as shown in FIG. Since the area B facing each other through the spacer of the fixed portion 3 of the spiral contactor provided on the part 3 and the lower contact sheet is very small, the pressure members are arranged above and below the spacer, When pressure is applied from the pressure member to the upper contact sheet and the lower contact sheet, the portion that is most strongly pressed is only the portion of the area B, and the other fixed portion 3 is strong. Pressure does not work.

このため、前記上側接点シートと、前記下側接点シートを適切に導電性接着剤を介して接着固定できないという問題があった。   For this reason, there was a problem that the upper contact sheet and the lower contact sheet could not be appropriately bonded and fixed via a conductive adhesive.

前記スペーサの高さ方向にて相対向するスパイラル接触子の固定部どうしは、前記スペーサを貫通する貫通孔内に設けられた導通層を介して導通接続されるが、従来では、前記スパイラル接触子の固定部を前記スペーサに広い面積にて強く接着固定できないために、前記スパイラル接触子と前記導通層との導通接続が良好でなく、最悪の場合、前記接点シートが前記スペーサから剥がれたりする等、電気的信頼性を阻害する要因となっていた。   The fixed portions of the spiral contact that face each other in the height direction of the spacer are connected to each other through a conductive layer provided in a through hole that penetrates the spacer. In this case, the contact between the spiral contact and the conductive layer is not good, and in the worst case, the contact sheet is peeled off from the spacer. It was a factor that hindered electrical reliability.

そこで本発明は上記従来の課題を解決するためのものであり、特にスペーサを介して高さ方向にて相対向する弾性接点の固定部どうしの対向面積を従来よりも広くできるとともに、前記弾性接点の実装密度も向上させることが可能な接点部材及びその製造方法を提供することを目的としている。   Accordingly, the present invention is to solve the above-described conventional problems, and in particular, the opposing area of the fixed portions of the elastic contacts that oppose each other in the height direction via a spacer can be made wider than before, and the elastic contacts It is an object of the present invention to provide a contact member and a method for manufacturing the contact member that can improve the mounting density of the substrate.

上記した接点シートの構成により、特にスペーサの上側に接合される上側接点シートと前記スペーサの下側に接合される下側接点シートを同じ接点シートで形成しても、スペーサを挟んで高さ方向にて相対向する前記上側弾性接点の固定部と、前記下側弾性接点の固定部とを実質的に対向させることができ、前記上側弾性接点の固定部と、前記下側弾性接点の固定部との対向面積を従来に比べて大きく出来る。また、上側接点シートと下側接点シートを同じ接点シートで形成できるから、製造工程を簡略化でき、さらに製造費の低減を図ることが出来る。   Even if the upper contact sheet bonded to the upper side of the spacer and the lower contact sheet bonded to the lower side of the spacer are formed of the same contact sheet, the height direction with the spacer interposed therebetween, The fixed portion of the upper elastic contact and the fixed portion of the lower elastic contact can be substantially opposed to each other, and the fixed portion of the upper elastic contact and the fixed portion of the lower elastic contact The facing area can be increased compared to the conventional case. Further, since the upper contact sheet and the lower contact sheet can be formed from the same contact sheet, the manufacturing process can be simplified and the manufacturing cost can be further reduced.

また本発明では、前記接点シートを前記スペーサに接合するとき、前記固定部と前記スペーサ間に導電性接着剤を塗布し、弾性変形部には非接触な加圧治具を用い、スペーサを介して上下にて対向する前記固定部を前記加圧治具によりスペーサ方向に加圧して、前記固定部を前記スペーサに接着固定することが好ましい。   In the present invention, when the contact sheet is joined to the spacer, a conductive adhesive is applied between the fixed portion and the spacer, and a non-contact pressure jig is used for the elastically deforming portion, and the spacer is interposed therebetween. It is preferable that the fixing portions opposed vertically are pressed in the spacer direction by the pressing jig, and the fixing portions are bonded and fixed to the spacer.

また本発明では、前記シート部材には、前記対称軸に対し線対称形状の位置決め孔を形成し、前記位置決め孔を二枚の接点シートに対し同じ位置に形成し、これにより、(c)工程にて、一枚の前記接点シートを前記対称軸を軸として反転させたとき、非反転状態の前記接点シートに現われる位置決め孔と、反転状態の前記接点シートに現われる位置決め孔とが高さ方向にて対向する位置関係になり、
前記(d)工程時、前記スペーサの上側及び下側に接合する接点シートに共通の位置決め部材を用いて、各接点シートを前記スペーサに対し位置決めすることが好ましい。共通の位置決め部材で、前記下側接点シートと上側接点シートの双方を位置決めできるので、位置決め部材にかかる費用を低減できる。また共通の位置決め部材で位置決めできるので位置決め精度を向上させることが出来る。
Also, in the present invention, the sheet member is formed with a positioning hole having a line symmetry shape with respect to the symmetry axis, and the positioning hole is formed at the same position with respect to the two contact sheets, whereby (c) step When the single contact sheet is reversed about the symmetry axis, the positioning holes appearing in the non-reversed contact sheet and the positioning holes appearing in the reversed contact sheet are in the height direction. And facing each other,
In the step (d), it is preferable that each contact sheet is positioned with respect to the spacer by using a common positioning member for the contact sheet bonded to the upper side and the lower side of the spacer. Since both the lower contact sheet and the upper contact sheet can be positioned with a common positioning member, the cost for the positioning member can be reduced. Moreover, since it can position with a common positioning member, positioning accuracy can be improved.

本発明は、スペーサと、前記スペーサ上に設けられた上側弾性接点と、前記スペーサ下に設けられた下側弾性接点と、を有し、前記上側弾性接点及び下側弾性接点は、前記スペーサに固定される固定部と、前記固定部から延出する弾性変形部とを有し、前記固定部は前記弾性変形部の外側の周囲の一部にのみ設けられており、前記スペーサの高さ方向にて対向する上側弾性接点の固定部と、前記下側弾性接点の固定部とが、前記高さ方向にて実質的に対向していることを特徴とするものである。   The present invention includes a spacer, an upper elastic contact provided on the spacer, and a lower elastic contact provided below the spacer, and the upper elastic contact and the lower elastic contact are provided on the spacer. A fixing portion to be fixed; and an elastic deformation portion extending from the fixing portion, the fixing portion being provided only in a part of the outer periphery of the elastic deformation portion, and a height direction of the spacer The fixed portion of the upper elastic contact and the fixed portion of the lower elastic contact that are opposed to each other substantially face each other in the height direction.

これにより前記上側弾性接点の固定部と、前記下側弾性接点の固定部との高さ方向における対向面積(スペーサを介した重なり面積)を従来よりも広げることが出来る。従って従来よりも電気的信頼性に優れた接点部材を提供できる。加えて前記弾性接点の実装密度も向上させることが出来る。また、弾性変形部の幅を広くできばね定数を大きく出来る。   Thereby, the opposing area in the height direction of the fixed portion of the upper elastic contact and the fixed portion of the lower elastic contact (overlapping area via the spacer) can be increased as compared with the conventional case. Therefore, it is possible to provide a contact member that is more excellent in electrical reliability than in the past. In addition, the mounting density of the elastic contacts can be improved. Further, the elastic deformation portion can be widened and the spring constant can be increased.

図3に示すように接点部材20は、スペーサ21と、上側接点シート22と、下側接点シート23とを有して構成される。   As shown in FIG. 3, the contact member 20 includes a spacer 21, an upper contact sheet 22, and a lower contact sheet 23.

まずスペーサ21について説明する。前記スペーサ21には図4に示すように複数の貫通孔21aが形成されている。前記貫通孔21aの平面形状は例えば円形状であるがそのような形状に限定されない。図4に示すように、前記貫通孔21aの内周面には導電性材料で形成された導通部24が例えばスパッタ法等にて形成されている。前記導通部24は、前記スペーサ21の上面21b及び下面21cにも一部延出して形成されている。図4に示すように、各貫通孔21a内に形成された導通部24どうしは接触しておらず、従って隣り合う貫通孔21a内に形成された導通部24どうしは導通状態にない。   First, the spacer 21 will be described. The spacer 21 has a plurality of through holes 21a as shown in FIG. The planar shape of the through hole 21a is, for example, a circular shape, but is not limited to such a shape. As shown in FIG. 4, a conductive portion 24 made of a conductive material is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 21a by, for example, a sputtering method. The conductive portion 24 is formed to partially extend on the upper surface 21 b and the lower surface 21 c of the spacer 21. As shown in FIG. 4, the conduction parts 24 formed in the respective through holes 21a are not in contact with each other, and therefore the conduction parts 24 formed in the adjacent through holes 21a are not in a conduction state.

次に、上側接点シート22について説明する。前記上側接点シート22は、複数のスパイラル接触子(弾性接点)25,40,41,42と、シート部材26とを有して構成される。   Next, the upper contact sheet 22 will be described. The upper contact sheet 22 includes a plurality of spiral contacts (elastic contacts) 25, 40, 41, 42 and a sheet member 26.

図1に示すように前記スパイラル接触子25,40,41,42は、固定部25a,40a,41a,42aと前記固定部25a,40a,41a,42aからスパイラル形状に延出形成された弾性変形部25b,40b,41b,42bとを有して構成される。   As shown in FIG. 1, the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 are elastically deformed and formed in a spiral shape from the fixed portions 25a, 40a, 41a, 42a and the fixed portions 25a, 40a, 41a, 42a. It has a portion 25b, 40b, 41b, 42b.

図1に示す左上に形成されたスパイラル接触子25を中心に説明する。前記スパイラル接触子25の前記固定部25aは図1に示すように図示X方向及び図示Y方向に延びる略逆L字状で形成されている。前記固定部25aの図示X方向に延びる固定部を第1固定部27と、図示Y方向に延びる固定部を第2固定部28として説明する。前記第1固定部27の前記弾性変形部25bと対向する対向側部(内側側部)27aは、前記弾性変形部25bの外観形状に沿った湾曲形状となっている。一方、前記第1固定部27の前記対向側部27aとは逆側の側部(外側側部)27bは、幅方向(図示X方向)に直線状に延びる形態となっている。前記第2固定部28の前記弾性変形部25bと対向する対向側部(内側側部)28aには前記弾性変形部25bの巻き始端25b1が接続されている。また前記巻き始端25b1との接続部以外の箇所での前記対向側部(内側側部)28aは、前記弾性変形部25bの外観形状に沿った湾曲形状となっている。また、前記対向側部28aとは逆側の側部(外側側部)28bは長さ方向(図示Y方向)に直線状に延びる形態となっている。図1に示すように前記シート部材26に設けられた複数のスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42は全て同じ形状で形成されている。   The description will focus on the spiral contact 25 formed at the upper left shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the fixing portion 25a of the spiral contact 25 is formed in a substantially inverted L shape extending in the X direction and the Y direction. The fixing part extending in the X direction in the figure of the fixing part 25a will be described as a first fixing part 27, and the fixing part extending in the Y direction in the figure will be described as a second fixing part 28. An opposing side portion (inner side portion) 27a facing the elastic deformation portion 25b of the first fixed portion 27 has a curved shape along the external shape of the elastic deformation portion 25b. On the other hand, a side portion (outside side portion) 27b opposite to the facing side portion 27a of the first fixed portion 27 has a form extending linearly in the width direction (X direction in the drawing). A winding start end 25b1 of the elastic deformation portion 25b is connected to an opposite side portion (inner side portion) 28a of the second fixing portion 28 facing the elastic deformation portion 25b. Further, the opposite side portion (inner side portion) 28a at a place other than the connection portion with the winding start end 25b1 has a curved shape that follows the external shape of the elastic deformation portion 25b. Further, the side portion (outer side portion) 28b opposite to the facing side portion 28a is linearly extended in the length direction (Y direction in the drawing). As shown in FIG. 1, the plurality of spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, and 42 provided on the sheet member 26 are all formed in the same shape.

例えば前記シート部材26は正方形で形成されている。よって、前記シート部材26の一方の対角線上を通るラインCは、前記幅方向(図示X方向)及び長さ方向(図示Y方向)からそれぞれ45度の位置にある。各スパイラル接触子25,40,41,42は前記ラインCを対称軸として線対称に配置されている。前記ラインCを境界として前記シート部材26は二分され、前記ラインCを境界として一方の領域Dにあるスパイラル接触子25,41,42の固定部25a,41a,42aと、もう一方の領域Eにあるスパイラル接触子25,40,42の固定部25a,40a,42aとは、前記ラインCを対称軸として実質的に線対称形状で形成されている。具体的に説明すると、図1に示す左上のスパイラル接触子25の固定部25aの領域Dにある第1固定部27と、領域Eにある第2固定部28は、前記ラインCを対称軸として実質的に線対称形状で形成されている。上記したように、前記第1固定部27は、幅方向(図示X方向)に延びており、また、前記第1固定部27の内側側部27aは湾曲形状で形成され、外側側部27bは幅方向に延びる直線形状である。一方、第2固定部28は、長さ方向(図示Y方向)に延びており、また、前記第2固定部28の内側側部28aは湾曲形状で形成され、外側側部28bは幅方向に延びる直線形状である。前記ライン(対称軸)Cは、幅方向及び長さ方向のそれぞれから45度の位置にあるため、図1に示す左上のスパイラル接触子25の固定部25aのうち領域Dにある第1固定部27と領域Eにある第2固定部28は前記ラインCを対称軸として実質的に線対称形状で形成されている。図1に示す左下のスパイラル接触子41は領域Dにあり、図1に示す右上のスパイラル接触子40は領域Eにある。左下のスパイラル接触子41も、右上のスパイラル接触子40も共に固定部40a,41aは、左上のスパイラル接触子25で説明したように第1固定部27と第2固定部28とで構成される略逆L字形状であり、前記ラインCを対称軸として実質的に線対称形状となっている。また右下にあるスパイラル接触子42は、左上のスパイラル接触子25と同じように、固定部25aが前記ラインC上を跨いでおり、第1固定部27と第2固定部28とが前記ラインCを対称軸として実質的に線対称形状で形成されている。   For example, the sheet member 26 is formed in a square shape. Therefore, the line C passing on one diagonal line of the sheet member 26 is at a position of 45 degrees from the width direction (X direction in the drawing) and the length direction (Y direction in the drawing). The spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, and 42 are arranged in line symmetry with the line C as the axis of symmetry. The sheet member 26 is divided into two parts with the line C as a boundary, and fixed portions 25a, 41a, and 42a of the spiral contacts 25, 41, and 42 in one region D and the other region E with the line C as a boundary. The fixed portions 25a, 40a, and 42a of a certain spiral contactor 25, 40, and 42 are formed in a substantially line-symmetric shape with the line C as an axis of symmetry. Specifically, the first fixing portion 27 in the region D of the fixing portion 25a of the upper left spiral contactor 25 shown in FIG. 1 and the second fixing portion 28 in the region E have the line C as the axis of symmetry. It is formed in a substantially line symmetrical shape. As described above, the first fixing portion 27 extends in the width direction (X direction in the drawing), the inner side portion 27a of the first fixing portion 27 is formed in a curved shape, and the outer side portion 27b is It is a linear shape extending in the width direction. On the other hand, the second fixing portion 28 extends in the length direction (Y direction in the drawing), the inner side portion 28a of the second fixing portion 28 is formed in a curved shape, and the outer side portion 28b extends in the width direction. It is a linear shape that extends. Since the line (symmetry axis) C is at a position of 45 degrees from each of the width direction and the length direction, the first fixing portion in the region D among the fixing portions 25a of the upper left spiral contact 25 shown in FIG. 27 and the second fixing portion 28 in the region E are formed in a substantially line-symmetric shape with the line C as the axis of symmetry. The lower left spiral contact 41 shown in FIG. 1 is in the region D, and the upper right spiral contact 40 shown in FIG. In both the lower left spiral contact 41 and the upper right spiral contact 40, the fixing portions 40a and 41a are composed of the first fixing portion 27 and the second fixing portion 28 as described in the upper left spiral contact 25. It has a substantially inverted L shape, and is substantially line symmetrical with the line C as the axis of symmetry. Further, in the spiral contactor 42 at the lower right, like the spiral contactor 25 at the upper left, the fixing part 25a straddles the line C, and the first fixing part 27 and the second fixing part 28 are connected to the line C. It is formed in a substantially line-symmetric shape with C as an axis of symmetry.

図1に示すように、前記シート部材26には、各スパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の弾性変形部25b,40b,41b,42bと高さ方向(図示Z方向)にて対向する位置に貫通孔26aが形成されている。前記貫通孔26aは例えば図1に示すような円形状であり、前記貫通孔26aは前記ラインCを対称軸として線対称形状で形成されている。   As shown in FIG. 1, the sheet member 26 is opposed to the elastic deformation portions 25b, 40b, 41b, 42b of the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 in the height direction (Z direction in the drawing). A through-hole 26a is formed in the upper surface. The through-hole 26a has a circular shape as shown in FIG. 1, for example, and the through-hole 26a is formed in a line-symmetric shape with the line C as an axis of symmetry.

前記スパイラル接触子25の弾性変形部25bは巻き始端25b1から巻き終端25b2にかけてスパイラル形状に形成されている。前記弾性変形部25bはあとで後述するように例えば電子部品の電極等が当接する部分で、押圧力を受けて弾性変形できる部分である。他のスパイラル接触子40,41,42の弾性変形部40b,41b,42bも同様の形状で形成されている。   The elastic deformation portion 25b of the spiral contact 25 is formed in a spiral shape from the winding start end 25b1 to the winding end 25b2. As will be described later, the elastic deformation portion 25b is a portion where, for example, an electrode of an electronic component abuts, and is a portion that can be elastically deformed by receiving a pressing force. The elastic deformation portions 40b, 41b, 42b of the other spiral contacts 40, 41, 42 are also formed in the same shape.

前記スパイラル接触子25,40,41,42は電鋳形成、あるいは箔体表面にメッキ層が形成された構造であり、例えば、スパイラル接触子形状の銅箔の周囲にNi層やNiP層が無電解メッキ法でメッキ形成等された構造である。   The spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 are formed by electroforming or a plating layer is formed on the surface of the foil body. For example, there is no Ni layer or NiP layer around the spiral contact-shaped copper foil. This is a structure formed by electrolytic plating or the like.

図8に示すように前記スパイラル接触子25の固定部25aは前記シート部材26の下面に接着剤等により固定保持されており、前記シート部材26に形成された前記貫通孔26aから、前記スパイラル接触子25の弾性変形部25bが上方(図示Z1方向)に向けて立体成形されている。他のスパイラル接触子40,41,42も同様に立体形成されている。   As shown in FIG. 8, the fixing portion 25a of the spiral contactor 25 is fixed and held on the lower surface of the sheet member 26 by an adhesive or the like, and the spiral contact is made from the through hole 26a formed in the sheet member 26. The elastic deformation portion 25b of the child 25 is three-dimensionally shaped upward (in the Z1 direction in the drawing). The other spiral contacts 40, 41, 42 are also formed in a three-dimensional manner.

図1に示すように、前記シート部材26には、複数の位置決め孔30,31,32が形成されている。これら位置決め孔30,31,32は前記ラインCを対称軸として線対称形状で形成されている。   As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of positioning holes 30, 31 and 32 are formed in the sheet member 26. These positioning holes 30, 31, and 32 are formed in a line-symmetric shape with the line C as an axis of symmetry.

図1に示すシート部材26とスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42とを有してなる同じ接点シート22,23が二枚用意され、一枚の前記接点シート23が前記ライン(対称軸)Cを回転軸として反転させられる。反転させられた状態の接点シート23が図2(平面図)である。図2に示す左上のスパイラル接触子25は図1に示す左上のスパイラル接触子25を前記ライン(対称軸)Cを回転軸として反転させたものであり、図2に示す左下のスパイラル接触子40は図1に示す右上のスパイラル接触子40を前記ライン(対称軸)Cを回転軸として反転させたのであり、図2に示す右上のスパイラル接触子41は図1に示す左下のスパイラル接触子41を前記ライン(対称軸)Cを回転軸として反転させたのであり、図2に示す右下のスパイラル接触子42は図1に示す右下のスパイラル接触子42を前記ライン(対称軸)Cを回転軸として反転させたものに該当する。 Two identical contact sheets 22 and 23 having the sheet member 26 and spiral contacts 25, 40, 41 and 42 shown in FIG. 1 are prepared, and one contact sheet 23 is the line (symmetric axis). It can be reversed with C as the axis of rotation. The contact sheet 23 in an inverted state is shown in FIG. 2 (plan view). The upper left spiral contact 25 shown in FIG. 2 is obtained by inverting the upper left spiral contact 25 shown in FIG. 1 with the line (symmetric axis) C as a rotation axis, and the lower left spiral contact 40 shown in FIG. 1 is obtained by inverting the upper right spiral contact 40 shown in FIG. 1 with the line (symmetric axis) C as a rotation axis, and the upper right spiral contact 41 shown in FIG. 2 is the lower left spiral contact 41 shown in FIG. 2 is reversed with the line (symmetric axis) C as a rotation axis, and the lower right spiral contact 42 shown in FIG. 2 is replaced with the lower right spiral contact 42 shown in FIG. Corresponds to the rotating shaft.

図2に示す接点シート23では、各スパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の固定部25a,40a,41a,42aがシート部材26の上面に位置し、従って前記固定部25a,40a,41a,42aはシート部材26の上面から露出した状態にあり、また、各スパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の弾性変形部25b,40b,41b,42bは図示下方向に向けてスパイラル形状に突出した状態となっている。   In the contact sheet 23 shown in FIG. 2, the fixing portions 25a, 40a, 41a, 42a of the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 are located on the upper surface of the sheet member 26. Therefore, the fixing portions 25a, 40a, 41a, 42a is exposed from the upper surface of the sheet member 26, and the elastically deforming portions 25b, 40b, 41b, 42b of the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 protrude in a spiral shape downward in the figure. It is in a state.

図2に示す接点シート23では、図1に示す接点シート22を前記ラインCを回転軸として反転させたものであるため、図1に示す接点シート22のラインCの紙面下側にあった領域Dは図2では前記ラインCの紙面上側の領域に位置し、図1に示す接点シート22のラインCの紙面上側にあった領域Eは図2では前記ラインCの紙面下側の領域に位置する。そして、上記で説明したように、図1の領域Dに形成されたスパイラル接触子25,42の第1固定部27及びスパイラル接触子41の固定部41aは、領域Eに形成されたスパイラル接触子25,42の第2固定部28及び、スパイラル接触子40の固定部40aと前記ラインCを対称軸として実質的に線対称形状であるため、ラインCを回転軸として反転させた図2の接点シート23と図1の接点シート22に設けられた複数のスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の形成位置(配置)は互いに一致するとともに、各スパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の固定部25a,40a,41a,42aが、接点シート22,23の双方において全て略逆L字状で現われ、さらにシート部材26に形成された貫通孔26aの形成位置も接点シート22,23の双方において一致する。 In the contact sheet 23 shown in FIG. 2, the contact sheet 22 shown in FIG. 1 is inverted with the line C as the rotation axis. 2, D is located in the upper area of the line C of the line C in FIG. 2, and the area E that is located on the upper side of the line C of the contact sheet 22 shown in FIG. 1 is located in the lower area of the line C in FIG. To do. As described above, the first fixed portion 27 of the spiral contactors 25 and 42 formed in the region D of FIG. 1 and the fixed portion 41a of the spiral contactor 41 are formed in the spiral contactor formed in the region E. 2 and 42, the fixed portion 40a of the spiral contactor 40 and the line C are substantially line-symmetrical with respect to the axis of symmetry, and therefore the contact of FIG. The formation positions (arrangements) of the plurality of spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 provided on the sheet 23 and the contact sheet 22 of FIG. 1 coincide with each other, and the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 are fixed. The portions 25a, 40a, 41a, 42a all appear in a substantially inverted L shape on both of the contact sheets 22, 23 , and the positions where the through holes 26a formed in the sheet member 26 are also formed. The contact sheets 22 and 23 coincide with each other.

また、図1に示すシート部材26に形成された位置決め孔30,31,32はラインCを対称軸として線対称形状で形成されているため、反転させた図2の接点シート23に現われる位置決め孔30,31,32の形成位置は、図1の接点シート22に形成された位置決め孔30,31,32の形成位置と一致している。   Further, since the positioning holes 30, 31, and 32 formed in the sheet member 26 shown in FIG. 1 are formed in a line-symmetric shape with the line C as the symmetry axis, the positioning holes appearing in the contact sheet 23 of FIG. The formation positions of 30, 31, 32 coincide with the formation positions of the positioning holes 30, 31, 32 formed in the contact sheet 22 of FIG.

図1に示す接点シート22をスペーサ21の上面21bに接合される上側接点シート22とし、図2に示す接点シート23をスペーサ21の下面21cに接合される下側接点シート23とし、図4に示すように、前記上側接点シート22が前記スペーサ21の上面21bに導電性接着剤50を介して接着固定され、前記下側接点シート23が前記スペーサ21の下面21cに導電性接着剤50を介して接着固定される。   The contact sheet 22 shown in FIG. 1 is an upper contact sheet 22 bonded to the upper surface 21b of the spacer 21, and the contact sheet 23 shown in FIG. 2 is a lower contact sheet 23 bonded to the lower surface 21c of the spacer 21, and FIG. As shown, the upper contact sheet 22 is bonded and fixed to the upper surface 21b of the spacer 21 via a conductive adhesive 50, and the lower contact sheet 23 is bonded to the lower surface 21c of the spacer 21 via a conductive adhesive 50. To be fixed.

図5は、スペーサ21を介して、上側接点シート22に設けられたスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の固定部25a,40a,41a,42a(図5では点線で示されている)と、下側接点シート23に設けられたスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の固定部25a,40a,41a,42a(図5では実線で示されている)との対向状態(スペーサ21を介した重なり状態)を示すものである。なお図5では、図面を見やすくするために各スパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の弾性変形部部25b,40b,41b,42bを図示していない。   FIG. 5 shows fixing portions 25a, 40a, 41a, 42a (indicated by dotted lines in FIG. 5) of spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 provided on the upper contact sheet 22 via a spacer 21. , Opposed to the fixing portions 25a, 40a, 41a, 42a (shown by solid lines in FIG. 5) of the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 provided on the lower contact sheet 23 (via the spacer 21). The overlapping state). In FIG. 5, the elastically deforming portions 25b, 40b, 41b, and 42b of the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, and 42 are not shown in order to make the drawing easy to see.

図5に示すように、スペーサ21を介して高さ方向(図示Z方向)にて対向する上側接点シート22に設けられたスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の固定部25a,40a,41a,42aと、下側接点シート23に設けられたスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の固定部25a,40a,41a,42aは実質的に対向した状態(スペーサ21を介して重なった状態)になっている。ここで「実質的に対向した状態」とは、個々のスパイラル接触子の固定部の面積をS、各固定部の面積S内に占める、スペーサ21を介して高さ方向に対向する固定部の対向面積をS1としたとき、(S1/S)×100(%)が、50%〜100%の範囲内にあることを意味する。   As shown in FIG. 5, fixing portions 25 a, 40 a, 41 a of spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 provided on the upper contact sheet 22 facing in the height direction (Z direction in the drawing) via the spacer 21. 42a and the fixed portions 25a, 40a, 41a, 42a of the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 provided on the lower contact sheet 23 are substantially opposed (overlapped via the spacer 21). It has become. Here, the “substantially opposed state” means that the area of the fixing part of each spiral contact is S, and the fixing part that occupies the area S of each fixing part in the height direction via the spacer 21. When the facing area is S1, it means that (S1 / S) × 100 (%) is in the range of 50% to 100%.

このように第1実施形態では、前記上側接点シート22に設けられたスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の固定部25a,40a,41a,42aと、下側接点シート23に設けられたスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の固定部25a,40a,41a,42aとの対向面積S1を従来に比べて大きく出来るため、前記上側接点シート22及び下側接点シート23をスペーサ21に確実に接着固定でき、前記固定部25a,40a,41a,42aと、スペーサ21に設けられた導通層24との導通接続性が良好になり電気的信頼性に優れた接点部材を提供することが可能になる。   As described above, in the first embodiment, the fixing portions 25 a, 40 a, 41 a, 42 a of the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 provided on the upper contact sheet 22 and the spiral provided on the lower contact sheet 23. Since the facing area S1 of the contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 with the fixing portions 25a, 40a, 41a, 42a can be increased as compared with the conventional case, the upper contact sheet 22 and the lower contact sheet 23 are securely attached to the spacer 21. It is possible to provide a contact member that can be adhesively fixed and has excellent electrical reliability because the conductive portions 24a, 40a, 41a, 42a and the conductive layer 24 provided on the spacer 21 have a good conductive connection. Become.

また図1,図2に示すように接点シート22,23に設けられたスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の固定部25a,40a,41a,42aは略逆L字形状で形成され、弾性変形部部25b,40b,41b,42bの外側周囲を完全に囲んでいないので、各スパイラル接触子25,40,41,42のピッチ間隔を小さくしやすく、前記スパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の単位面積あたりの実装密度を向上させることが出来る。また、弾性変形部部25b,40b,41b,42bの幅を広くできばね定数を向上させることが出来る。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the fixing portions 25a, 40a, 41a, 42a of the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 provided on the contact sheets 22, 23 are formed in a substantially inverted L shape and are elastic. Since the outer periphery of the deformable portions 25b, 40b, 41b, and 42b is not completely enclosed, the pitch interval between the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, and 42 can be easily reduced, and the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, The mounting density per unit area of 42 can be improved. Further, the elastic deformation portions 25b, 40b, 41b, and 42b can be widened and the spring constant can be improved.

また図1に示すように、各スパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の固定部25a,40a,41a,42aの形状は図1に示す略逆L字状に限らないが、シート部材に設けられた複数のスパイラル接触子には、ラインCあるいは前記ラインCと平行な方向に延びる平行線の両側に2本の固定部が延びており、前記2本の固定部がともに前記ラインCあるいは平行線を対称軸として線対称形状で形成されていると、全てのスパイラル接触子において、同じ向きに前記固定部を形成できる。従ってスパイラル接触子の製造が容易化する。図1を用いて具体的に説明すると、図1では、全てのスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の固定部25a,40a,41a,42aが、第1固定部27と第2固定部28とで構成され、前記第1固定部27及び第2固定部28はともに、ラインCあるいはラインCと平行な方向に延びる平行線に対し45度の角度をもって延びている。このように固定部を形成することで、全てのスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の固定部25a,40a,41a,42aを全て同じ向きに向く略逆L字形状で形成することができ、従って、全てのスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42を全て同じ向きで形成できるため、スパイラル接触子の製造が非常に容易になる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the shape of the fixing portions 25a, 40a, 41a, and 42a of the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, and 42 is not limited to the substantially inverted L shape shown in FIG. In the plurality of spiral contacts, two fixing portions extend on both sides of the line C or a parallel line extending in a direction parallel to the line C, and both the two fixing portions are the line C or parallel. If the line is symmetrically formed with the line as the axis of symmetry, the fixed portion can be formed in the same direction in all spiral contacts. Therefore, the manufacture of the spiral contact is facilitated. Specifically, referring to FIG. 1, in FIG. 1, the fixing portions 25 a, 40 a, 41 a, 42 a of all the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 are replaced by the first fixing portion 27 and the second fixing portion 28. The first fixing part 27 and the second fixing part 28 both extend at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the line C or a parallel line extending in a direction parallel to the line C. By forming the fixing portion in this manner, the fixing portions 25a, 40a, 41a, 42a of all the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 can be formed in a substantially inverted L shape that is all directed in the same direction. Therefore, since all the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, and 42 can be formed in the same direction, the manufacture of the spiral contacts becomes very easy.

例えば図7に示すように、ラインCの両側に2本の曲状の固定部70,71が延びており、前記固定部70,71は、ラインCを対称軸として線対称形状で形成されているので、図1のように複数のスパイラル接触子をシート部材上に形成するとき、全てのスパイラル接触子の固定部を、図7に示す固定部70,71で構成される湾曲状の固定部にて、しかも同じ向きに形成することが出来る。すなわち全てのスパイラル接触子を図7に示すスパイラル接触子と同じ形状で、しかも同じ向きで形成できるので、前記スパイラル接触子の製造を容易化出来る。   For example, as shown in FIG. 7, two curved fixing portions 70 and 71 extend on both sides of the line C, and the fixing portions 70 and 71 are formed in a line-symmetric shape with the line C as an axis of symmetry. Therefore, when a plurality of spiral contacts are formed on the sheet member as shown in FIG. 1, the fixed portions of all spiral contacts are curved fixed portions composed of the fixed portions 70 and 71 shown in FIG. And can be formed in the same direction. That is, since all the spiral contacts can be formed in the same shape and in the same direction as the spiral contact shown in FIG. 7, the manufacture of the spiral contacts can be facilitated.

また図6のようにスパイラル接触子を形成してもよい。図6の場合、複数あるスパイラル接触子の形状は全て同じ形状であるが、形成向きがそれぞれ異なっている。図6では、符号60のスパイラル接触子の固定部60aは、前記ラインC上を跨いで形成され、ラインCの一方側にある固定部60aの一部60a1と、他方側にある固定部60aの一部60a2とは前記ラインCを対称軸として実質的に線対称形状で形成されている。符号63のスパイラル接触子も同じように、ラインCの一方側にある固定部63aの一部63a1と、他方側にある固定部63aの一部63a2とは前記ラインCを対称軸として実質的に線対称形状で形成されている。また、符号61と符号62のスパイラル接触子の固定部61a,62aは前記ラインCを対称軸として、実質的に線対称形状で形成されている。図6に示すスパイラル接触子60,61,62,63の固定部60a,61a,62a,63aはいずれも弾性変形部部60b,61b,62b,63bから離れる方向に向けて形成されている。図6に示すようにスパイラル接触子を形成してもラインCに対して固定部の線対称状態を維持でき、図6に示す複数のスパイラル接触子が設けられた接点シートを二枚用意し、そのうち一枚を前記ライン(対称軸)Cを回転軸として反転させ、例えば非反転状態の接点シートをスペーサ21の上面へ、反転状態の接点シートをスペーサ21を下面に導電性接着剤を介して接合したとき、スペーサ21を介して高さ方向にて対向するスパイラル接触子の固定部が前記高さ方向にて実質的に対向した状態になり、従来に比べて前記固定部の対向面積を大きくすることが出来る。   Moreover, you may form a spiral contactor like FIG. In the case of FIG. 6, the shapes of the plurality of spiral contacts are all the same, but the formation directions are different. In FIG. 6, the fixing part 60 a of the spiral contact member 60 is formed across the line C, and includes a part 60 a 1 of the fixing part 60 a on one side of the line C and a fixing part 60 a on the other side. The part 60a2 is formed in a substantially line-symmetric shape with the line C as an axis of symmetry. Similarly, the spiral contact indicated by reference numeral 63 has a part 63a1 of the fixing part 63a on one side of the line C and a part 63a2 of the fixing part 63a on the other side substantially having the line C as an axis of symmetry. It is formed in a line symmetrical shape. The fixed portions 61a and 62a of the spiral contactors 61 and 62 are substantially symmetrical with respect to the line C as an axis of symmetry. The fixed portions 60a, 61a, 62a, 63a of the spiral contacts 60, 61, 62, 63 shown in FIG. 6 are all formed in a direction away from the elastically deformable portions 60b, 61b, 62b, 63b. Even if a spiral contact is formed as shown in FIG. 6, the line symmetrical state of the fixed portion can be maintained with respect to the line C, and two contact sheets provided with a plurality of spiral contacts shown in FIG. 6 are prepared, One of them is reversed with the line (symmetric axis) C as a rotation axis. For example, a non-reversed contact sheet is placed on the upper surface of the spacer 21, and a reversed contact sheet is placed on the spacer 21 with the lower surface via a conductive adhesive. When joined, the fixed portions of the spiral contacts facing each other in the height direction via the spacer 21 are substantially opposed in the height direction, and the facing area of the fixed portion is increased compared to the conventional case. I can do it.

図4に示す接点部材20は、例えば図9に示す検査装置80に搭載される。図4に示すように、検査装置80は基台81と、この基台81の一方の縁部に設けられたひんじ部83を介して回動自在に支持された蓋体82とで構成されている。前記基台81および蓋体82は絶縁性の樹脂材料などで形成されており、前記基台81の中心部には図示Z2方向に凹となる装填領域81Aが形成されている。そして、前記装填領域81A内に半導体などの電子部品90が装着できるようになっている。また基台81の他方の縁部には、被ロック部84が形成されている。   The contact member 20 shown in FIG. 4 is mounted on, for example, the inspection apparatus 80 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the inspection device 80 includes a base 81 and a lid 82 that is rotatably supported via a hinge 83 provided on one edge of the base 81. ing. The base 81 and the lid 82 are made of an insulating resin material or the like, and a loading region 81A that is concave in the Z2 direction is formed at the center of the base 81. An electronic component 90 such as a semiconductor can be mounted in the loading area 81A. A locked portion 84 is formed on the other edge of the base 81.

検査装置80の蓋体82の内面の中央の位置には、電子部品90を図示下方に押し付ける凸形状の押圧部82aが前記装填領域81Aに対向して設けられている。また前記ひんじ部83と逆側となる位置にはロック部85が形成されている。   At the center position of the inner surface of the lid 82 of the inspection device 80, a convex pressing portion 82a that presses the electronic component 90 downward in the figure is provided to face the loading area 81A. Further, a lock portion 85 is formed at a position opposite to the hinge portion 83.

前記接点部材20は前記基台81の前記装填領域81A上に設置され、蓋体82のロック部85が基台81の被ロック部84にロックされると、電子部品90が前記押圧部82aによって図示下方に押し付けられるため、前記電子部品90の下面に設けられた図示しない電極が、前記接点部材20に設けられた各スパイラル接触子の弾性変形部を図示下方に押し下げ、前記スパイラル接触子と前記電極との導通接続が図られる。なおスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の弾性変形部部25b,40b,41b,42bはスパイラル形状に限らないが、スパイラルで形状であると、電子部品の電極等との接触により、前記弾性変形部の外形は、前記巻き終端から巻き始端方向(渦巻きの中心から外方向)に押し広げられるように変形し、前記電極の外表面を抱き込むように巻き付くので、前記スパイラル接触子と前記電子部品間の導通接続を確実なものにできて好ましい。   When the contact member 20 is installed on the loading area 81A of the base 81 and the lock portion 85 of the lid 82 is locked to the locked portion 84 of the base 81, the electronic component 90 is moved by the pressing portion 82a. Since it is pressed downward in the drawing, an electrode (not shown) provided on the lower surface of the electronic component 90 pushes down the elastic deformation portion of each spiral contact provided in the contact member 20, and the spiral contact and the Conductive connection with the electrode is achieved. The elastically deforming portions 25b, 40b, 41b, and 42b of the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, and 42 are not limited to the spiral shape. The outer shape of the deformed portion is deformed so as to be pushed and expanded from the winding end to the winding start direction (outward from the center of the spiral), and is wound so as to embrace the outer surface of the electrode. It is preferable because the conductive connection between the electronic components can be ensured.

前記接点部材20は図9に示すバーンイン検査等の検査装置以外にも電子機器内に搭載されるコネクタ等としても使用できる。   The contact member 20 can be used as a connector or the like mounted in an electronic apparatus in addition to an inspection apparatus such as burn-in inspection shown in FIG.

次に前記接点部材20の製造方法について説明する。まず図1に示すスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42を形成する。前記スパイラル接触子25,40,41,42を固定部25a,40a,41a,42aと弾性変形部部25b,40b,41b,42bとで構成する。例えば銅箔をスパイラル接触子形状に形成した後、前記銅箔の周囲に無電解メッキ法でNi層やNiP層等をメッキ形成して前記スパイラル接触子25,40,41,42を形成する。   Next, a method for manufacturing the contact member 20 will be described. First, spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, and 42 shown in FIG. 1 are formed. The spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 are composed of fixed portions 25a, 40a, 41a, 42a and elastic deformation portions 25b, 40b, 41b, 42b. For example, after the copper foil is formed in a spiral contact shape, a Ni layer or a NiP layer is plated around the copper foil by an electroless plating method to form the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42.

図1に示すように前記スパイラル接触子25,40,41,42をラインC(幅方向(図示X方向)及び長さ方向(図示Y方向)のそれぞれから45度の位置にあるライン)に対し線対称となる位置に配置するとともに、各スパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の固定部25a,40a,41a,42aを、全て幅方向(図示X方向)及び長さ方向(図示Y方向)に延びる略逆L字状で形成する。   As shown in FIG. 1, the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, and 42 are arranged with respect to a line C (a line at a position of 45 degrees from each of the width direction (X direction in the drawing) and the length direction (Y direction in the drawing)). In addition to being arranged at positions that are line symmetric, the fixed portions 25a, 40a, 41a, 42a of the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 are all in the width direction (X direction shown in the drawing) and the length direction (Y direction shown in the drawing). It is formed in a substantially inverted L shape extending to

そして、貫通孔26aを有する前記シート部材26を前記スパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の固定部25a,40a,41a,42a上に例えば導電性接着剤等を用いて接合し、全てのスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42を前記シート部材26に固定保持する。図1に示す同じ接点シート22を二枚用意し、二枚の接点シートに設けられた全てのスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の弾性変形部部25b,40b,41b,42bを上方に向けて立体フォーミングする。   Then, the sheet member 26 having the through hole 26a is joined onto the fixing portions 25a, 40a, 41a, 42a of the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 using, for example, a conductive adhesive, etc. The contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 are fixedly held on the sheet member 26. 2 are prepared, and the elastically deforming portions 25b, 40b, 41b, 42b of all the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 provided on the two contact sheets are directed upward. Three-dimensional forming towards.

二枚の同じ接点シートのうち、一枚の接点シートを前記ラインCを回転軸として反転させる。非反転状態の前記接点シート22(図1に示すもの)をスペーサ21の上面21bに接合される上側接点シート22とし、反転状態の前記接点シート23(図2に示すもの)を、スペーサ21の下面21cに接合される下側接点シート23とする。   One of the two contact sheets is reversed with the line C as the rotation axis. The contact sheet 22 (shown in FIG. 1) in the non-inverted state is used as the upper contact sheet 22 joined to the upper surface 21b of the spacer 21, and the contact sheet 23 (shown in FIG. 2) in the inverted state is used as the spacer 21. The lower contact sheet 23 is joined to the lower surface 21c.

図10に示すように設置台100の上に、受け側治具(下側加圧治具)101を設け、前記受け側治具101上に前記下側接点シート23を設置する。図11に示すように受け側治具101の上面101aには、前記下側接点シート23に形成されたスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の弾性変形部部25b,40b,41b,42bと対向する位置に凹部101bが形成されており、前記弾性変形部25b,40b,41b,42bが前記受け側治具101に非接触な状態となっている。一方、前記弾性変形部25b,40b,41b,42bが形成されていない箇所の前記下側接点シート23と前記受け側治具101とは当接した状態にある。前記設置台100には上方(図示Z1方向)に向けて突出する位置決め部材102が設けられている。前記位置決め部材102を前記下側接点シート23に設けられた位置決め孔30、31、32に通し、これにより前記下側接点シート23を位置決めする。   As shown in FIG. 10, a receiving jig (lower pressurizing jig) 101 is provided on the installation table 100, and the lower contact sheet 23 is installed on the receiving jig 101. As shown in FIG. 11, on the upper surface 101a of the receiving jig 101, elastic deformation portions 25b, 40b, 41b, 42b of the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 formed on the lower contact sheet 23 and A concave portion 101b is formed at an opposing position, and the elastic deformation portions 25b, 40b, 41b, and 42b are in a non-contact state with the receiving-side jig 101. On the other hand, the lower contact sheet 23 and the receiving-side jig 101 in a portion where the elastically deforming portions 25b, 40b, 41b, and 42b are not formed are in contact with each other. The installation table 100 is provided with a positioning member 102 that protrudes upward (Z1 direction in the drawing). The positioning member 102 is passed through positioning holes 30, 31, 32 provided in the lower contact sheet 23, thereby positioning the lower contact sheet 23.

図10,図11に示すように前記下側接点シート23上にスペーサ21を設置する。前記スペーサ21の上面21b及び下面21cには導電性接着剤50が塗布されている。また図10に示すように前記スペーサ21にも図2に示す下側接点シート23に形成された位置決め孔30,31,32と高さ方向にて対向する同じ位置に位置決め孔103が設けられており、前記スペーサ21に設けられた前記位置決め孔103に前記位置決め部材102を通して、前記スペーサ21を前記下側接点シート23上に設置する。これにより前記スペーサ21と前記下側接点シート23とが互いに位置決めされた状態になる。   Spacers 21 are installed on the lower contact sheet 23 as shown in FIGS. A conductive adhesive 50 is applied to the upper surface 21 b and the lower surface 21 c of the spacer 21. As shown in FIG. 10, the spacer 21 is also provided with a positioning hole 103 at the same position facing the positioning holes 30, 31, 32 formed in the lower contact sheet 23 shown in FIG. The spacer 21 is installed on the lower contact sheet 23 through the positioning member 102 through the positioning hole 103 provided in the spacer 21. Accordingly, the spacer 21 and the lower contact sheet 23 are positioned with respect to each other.

次に、図10,図11に示すように、前記スペーサ21上に図1に示す上側接点シート22を設置する。前記上側接点シート22に形成された位置決め孔30,31,32は、図2に示す下側接点シート23と同じ位置にあるため、共通の位置決め部材102を用いて、前記上側接点シート22を前記スペーサ21上に位置決めできる。前記上側接点シート22に設けられた位置決め孔30,31,32に前記位置決め部材102を通すことで、前記上側接点シート22と前記スペーサ21とが互いに位置決めされる。   Next, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the upper contact sheet 22 shown in FIG. 1 is installed on the spacer 21. Since the positioning holes 30, 31, 32 formed in the upper contact sheet 22 are at the same position as the lower contact sheet 23 shown in FIG. 2, the upper contact sheet 22 is moved by using a common positioning member 102. It can be positioned on the spacer 21. By passing the positioning member 102 through the positioning holes 30, 31, 32 provided in the upper contact sheet 22, the upper contact sheet 22 and the spacer 21 are positioned relative to each other.

図10,図11に示すように加圧治具(上側加圧治具)104を前記上側接点シート22の上側から前記スペーサ21方向(図示下方向)に向けて移動させ、前記下側接点シート23、スペーサ21及び上側接点シート22を前記受け側治具101方向に向けて加圧する。図11に示すように加圧治具104の下面104aには、前記上側接点シート22に形成されたスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の弾性変形部部25b,40b,41b,42bと対向する位置に凹部104bが形成されており、前記弾性変形部部25b,40b,41b,42bが前記加圧治具104に非接触な状態となっている。一方、前記弾性変形部25b,40b,41b,42bが形成されていない箇所の前記上側接点シート22と前記加圧治具104とは当接した状態にある。よって前記下側接点シート23及び上側接点シート22に設けられたスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の弾性変形部部25b,40b,41b,42bは前記加圧の影響を受けず、立体の成形状態を保っている。   As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, a pressing jig (upper pressing jig) 104 is moved from the upper side of the upper contact sheet 22 toward the spacer 21 (downward direction in the drawing), and the lower contact sheet is moved. 23, the spacer 21 and the upper contact sheet 22 are pressed toward the receiving jig 101. As shown in FIG. 11, the lower surface 104a of the pressing jig 104 is opposed to the elastically deforming portions 25b, 40b, 41b, 42b of the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 formed on the upper contact sheet 22. A concave portion 104b is formed at a position where the elastic deformation portion 25b, 40b, 41b, 42b is not in contact with the pressing jig 104. On the other hand, the upper contact sheet 22 and the pressurizing jig 104 at a location where the elastically deforming portions 25b, 40b, 41b, and 42b are not formed are in contact with each other. Therefore, the elastically deforming portions 25b, 40b, 41b, 42b of the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 provided on the lower contact sheet 23 and the upper contact sheet 22 are not affected by the pressurization, and are three-dimensional. The molding state is maintained.

前記治具101,104間に設けられた前記下側接点シート23、スペーサ21及び上側接点シート22を加圧しながら熱処理を施すことで、前記スペーサ21と下側接点シート23間、及びスペーサ21と上側接点シート22間が導電性接着剤50を介して強固に接着固定される。このとき、図5に示すように、前記下側接点シート23に設けられたスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の固定部25a,40a,41a,42aと、前記上側接点シート22に設けられたスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の固定部25a,40a,41a,42aとが高さ方向(図示Z方向)にて実質的に対向した状態となっており、従来よりも固定部の対向面積S1(スペーサを介した重なり面積)が大きくなるため、スペーサ21を介した上下の前記固定部25a,40a,41a,42a間に前記加圧力が強く作用し、前記固定部25a,40a,41a,42aが前記スペーサ21の上面21b及び下面21cのそれぞれに適切に接着固定される。この結果、前記スペーサ21の貫通孔21a内に設けられた導通層24と、前記固定部25a,40a,41a,42aとが適切に導通接続された状態になり、従って、前記上側接点シート22に設けられたスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の弾性変形部部25b,40b,41b,42bと、前記下側接点シート23に設けられたスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の弾性変形部部25b,40b,41b,42bとが前記導通層24を介して適切に導通した状態になり電気的信頼性に優れた接点部材20を製造することが可能になる。 By applying heat treatment while pressurizing the lower contact sheet 23, the spacer 21 and the upper contact sheet 22 provided between the jigs 101 and 104, the spacer 21 and the lower contact sheet 23, and the spacer 21 The upper contact sheet 22 is firmly bonded and fixed via the conductive adhesive 50 . At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, the fixing portions 25 a, 40 a, 41 a, 42 a of the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 provided on the lower contact sheet 23 and the upper contact sheet 22 are provided. Further, the fixed portions 25a, 40a, 41a, 42a of the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 are substantially opposed in the height direction (Z direction in the drawing), and the fixed portions 25a, 40a, 41a, 42a are substantially opposed to each other. Since the facing area S1 (overlapping area through the spacer) is increased, the pressing force acts strongly between the upper and lower fixing parts 25a, 40a, 41a, 42a through the spacer 21, and the fixing parts 25a, 40a, 41a and 42a are appropriately bonded and fixed to the upper surface 21b and the lower surface 21c of the spacer 21, respectively. As a result, the conductive layer 24 provided in the through hole 21a of the spacer 21 and the fixing portions 25a, 40a, 41a, and 42a are appropriately connected to each other. Elastic deformation portions 25b, 40b, 41b, 42b of the provided spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 and elastic deformation of the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 provided on the lower contact sheet 23 The portions 25b, 40b, 41b, and 42b are appropriately conducted through the conductive layer 24, and the contact member 20 having excellent electrical reliability can be manufactured.

上記した接点部材20の製造方法の利点は、高さ方向にて対向するスパイラル接触子25,40,41,42の固定部25a,40a,41a,42aどうしの対向面積S1を大きく出来るのみならず、同じ接点シートを二枚用意し、一枚の接点シートをライン(対向軸)Cを回転軸として反転させた状態にして、非反転状態の接点シートと、反転状態の接点シートをそれぞれスペーサ21の上下に接合するので、上側接点シート22用としての接点シートと、下側接点シート23用としての接点シートをそれぞれ個別に形成する必要がなく、前記接点シートの形成が非常に容易化する。しかも、接点シート22,23に設けられた位置決め孔も非反転状態の接点シート22と、反転状態の接点シート23とで同じ位置に現われるので、共通の位置決め部材102を用いて、前記接点シート22,23を一緒に位置決めすることが出来、非常に簡単に且つ精度良く前記接点シート22,23を位置決めできるとともに、共通の位置決め部材102を使用できることで、位置決め部材102にかかる費用も安く出来る。 The advantage of the manufacturing method of the contact member 20 described above is that not only the facing area S1 between the fixing portions 25a, 40a, 41a, 42a of the spiral contacts 25, 40, 41, 42 facing each other in the height direction can be increased. , Two identical contact sheets are prepared, and one contact sheet is inverted with the line (opposite axis) C as the rotation axis, and the non-inverted contact sheet and the inverted contact sheet are respectively spacers 21. Therefore, the contact sheet for the upper contact sheet 22 and the contact sheet for the lower contact sheet 23 do not need to be individually formed, and the formation of the contact sheet is greatly facilitated. Moreover, since the positioning holes provided in the contact sheets 22 and 23 also appear at the same position in the non-reversed contact sheet 22 and the reversed contact sheet 23, the contact sheet 22 is used by using a common positioning member 102. , 23 can be positioned together, the contact sheets 22 and 23 can be positioned very easily and accurately, and the common positioning member 102 can be used, so that the cost of the positioning member 102 can be reduced.
