The procedure for assembling this crystal oscillator A is as follows. First, after the crystal resonator element 103 is mounted in the container body 101, the two adjustment terminals 110 in the space 105a of the container 105 are used.
Then, the probe pins 120 are brought into contact with each other, and the characteristics of the crystal resonator element 103 are checked to adjust the crystal resonator element. After the adjustment is completed, the upper surface side recess 101 a is sealed with the metal lid 102. Next, the IC component mounting pad 10 in the void 105a.
The IC component 106 is flip-chip mounted on 5c.

Thus, in the conventional crystal oscillator of the H-type structure, the IC component mounting pad 105c and the adjustment terminal 110 are juxtaposed on the ceiling surface of the IC component mounting space 105a.
With the progress of miniaturization of the container, it becomes difficult to secure the installation space for the adjustment terminal, the adjustment terminal has to be reduced in area, and the workability is lowered when the frequency is measured by contacting the probe pin. It has caused problems such as reduced reliability during measurement.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when the measurement is performed with two probe pins (contact members) 120 in contact with the respective adjustment terminals 110 at the same time, the contact position of the probe pins is slightly displaced. If the contact angle is tilted or the contact angle is tilted even slightly, the probe pin interferes with and contacts the outer wall 107a of the adjacent bottom structure 107, resulting in frequent damage. Exterior wall 1
This is because 07a is extremely brittle and is easily damaged by contact with the probe pin.
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 7, the tip of the probe pin 120 is connected to one end in the longitudinal direction of the bottom structure 107 in a state where the crystal oscillator A as a measurement object is mounted in the housing recess 101 a provided on the jig 130. When abutting (pressing) on the adjustment terminal 110 arranged so as to be displaced at the edge, the other end portion in the longitudinal direction of the crystal oscillator is likely to be lifted as indicated by a broken line. If one end of the oscillator is lifted, the orientation of the accommodated crystal resonator element becomes non-horizontal, and accurate frequency measurement becomes impossible.

The probe pin 3 for contact shown in the figure is a spring probe pin, and as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 2, is supported by a hollow rod-like base portion 3a and a rod-like base portion 3a that can be moved forward and backward in the axial direction and elastically. A conductive tip member 3b biased in the protruding direction by the member 3c, and the tip member 3b is electrically connected to the harness 11. While the crystal resonator element 103 is excited by energizing from the mounting terminal of the oscillator, the tip member 3b is adjusted to the adjustment terminal 110.
The output from the crystal resonator element is input to the measurement apparatus main body 10 by abutting on.
The support pin (support member) 4 is the ceiling surface of the space 105a of the container 105 when the tips of the two probe pins 3 are brought into contact with the two adjustment terminals 110, and the IC component mounting pad 105c. The support member 2 is protruded from an appropriate position so that the tip of the pattern can be brought into contact with a portion where the pattern does not exist and the contact stability of each probe pin 3 can be ensured.
The support pin 4 may be configured in the same manner as the spring probe pin 3 shown in FIG.
At least the tip member is made of a non-conductive material. The support pins 4 may be made of a nonconductive material such as resin.

When the tips of the two probe pins 3 are brought into contact with the adjustment terminals 110, the support pins 4
Is brought into contact with an appropriate position on the ceiling surface of the space 105a (where the wiring pattern is avoided) to prevent tilting and displacement of each probe pin, so that the adjustment terminal surface always has an appropriate contact angle and positional relationship. It is possible to abut.
As a result, the outer peripheral wall 107a of the void 105a is prevented from being damaged by the probe pin.
Further, even when the two adjustment terminals 110 are provided on the ceiling surface corresponding to one end portion in the longitudinal direction of the space 105a, the two probe pins are pressed while the ceiling surface near the other end portion is pressed by the support pins 4. 3 is brought into contact with each adjustment terminal 110, so that there is no possibility that the other end portion of the oscillator is lifted or wobbled. Therefore, the crystal vibrating element 103 is always held in a horizontal posture during measurement by the probe pin, and measurement failure is eliminated.

In particular, when a probe pin with a thin tip is used to avoid interference with the outer peripheral wall, the measurement accuracy is improved by increasing the stability of the contact part by the balance adjustment function of the support pin when contacting the probe pin and the adjustment terminal. Can be increased.
Since the spring probe pin 3 is made of a soft metal material such as beryllium copper, the sliding portion between the base portion 3a and the tip member 3b is likely to be worn out and needs to be replaced in a relatively short time. For this reason, recently, there is a tendency to use a tungsten probe that can ensure durability because it does not have a sliding portion.

The tungsten probe (contact member) 20 has a configuration in which a contact 22 made of tungsten is supported at the tip of a main body 21 made of brass or the like, and is stable with the adjustment terminal 110 using the elasticity of the contact 22. The contact is ensured, and since there is no sliding part, the durability is higher than that of the spring probe pin. Each tungsten probe 20 is supported by a support member (probe holder) 2 and connected to the measurement apparatus main body 10 via a harness 11.

In a state where the crystal oscillator (measurement object) A is mounted in the housing recess 130a of the jig 130, the contacts 22 of the two tungsten probes 20 are displaced to one end edge in the longitudinal direction of the bottom structure 107. When contacting (pressing) the adjustment terminal 110, the other end portion in the longitudinal direction of the crystal oscillator A is likely to be lifted up and cannot be measured. However, in the adjustment probe device 1 according to the present embodiment, A support tungsten probe (support member) 25 is provided as a support member, and the support tungsten probe 25 is brought into contact with a position closer to the end of the ceiling surface opposite to the contact position by the two tungsten probes 20. Is prevented from lifting.
As with the tungsten probe 20, the support tungsten probe 25 has a body 26,
The contact 27 is composed of at least the contact 27 made of a non-conductive material. Alternatively, the support member in this embodiment does not need to stick to the tungsten probe type, and may be a probe pin or a simple resin rod.
Further, by using the support tungsten probe 25 in combination, the contact angle and contact position of the tungsten probe 20 with respect to the adjustment terminal 110 can be adjusted with high accuracy, so that the tungsten probe pin comes into contact with the outer peripheral wall 107a of the void 105a. Damage to this is prevented.

By the way, since the wiring patterns such as the adjustment terminal 110 and the IC component mounting pad 105c are arranged close to the ceiling surface of the void 105a of the crystal oscillator A, the adjustment probe device according to each of the above embodiments. When the frequency of the crystal resonator element 103 is measured using 1, there is a possibility that it is not possible to secure a space in which the tip of the support pin 4 as a support member or the support tungsten probe 25 abuts.
In addition, since the tips of the probe pin 3 and the tungsten probe 20 are made of metal, a phenomenon may occur in which they are adsorbed when they are brought into contact with the adjustment terminal 110 in a vacuum.
When the metal tip such as the probe pin and the adjustment terminal 110 are attracted, the entire oscillator is lifted through the tip of the probe pin or the like when the probe pin or the like is separated after the measurement is finished, and the jig 130 Inconveniences such as detachment from the housing position occur. Such a problem is likely to occur particularly when a new probe is used.

FIG. 4A is a front view showing the configuration and use state of an adjustment probe device according to another embodiment of the present invention for the purpose of coping with such a problem, and FIG. It is a top view.
The adjustment probe device 1 according to this embodiment includes an outer peripheral wall 107a in addition to the two probe pins 3 (or the tungsten probe 20) extending from the support member (probe holder) 2.
A support member 30 that protrudes from the support member 2 to prevent the crystal oscillator (measurement object) A from being lifted up is brought into contact with (close to) the upper surface of the support member 2.

The support member 30 includes a hollow rod-like base 31 and a tip member 32 that is supported so as to protrude and retract from the tip opening of the base 31 and is always urged in the protruding direction by an elastic member (not shown). A press pad 32 a having a large area is provided at the tip of the tip member 32.
The crystal oscillator A on which no IC component is mounted is held in the housing recess 130a of the jig 130 with the crystal unit 100 facing downward.
Each support member 30 has a lower surface of the pressing pad 32a straddling between an upper surface 130b of the jig 130 and an upper surface of the outer peripheral wall 107a when each probe pin 3 is in contact with each adjustment terminal 110. It is attached to abut. Presser pad 32a is jig upper surface 130b.
By simultaneously suppressing the upper surface of the outer peripheral wall, even if the probe pin 3 presses two adjustment terminals 110 provided near one end in the longitudinal direction of the ceiling surface of the space 105a, the other end in the longitudinal direction of the crystal oscillator is lifted. Disappears.
In this example, the presser pad 32a is in contact with the intermediate position of the long side of the outer peripheral wall 107a, but may be in contact with the intermediate position of the short side.

Further, the relationship between the depth h1 of the jig housing recess 130a and the height h2 of the crystal oscillator is expressed as h1> h.
2 and the upper surface of the outer peripheral wall 107a may be positioned slightly below the upper surface 130b of the jig when the crystal oscillator is housed in the housing recess 130a. With this configuration, when a part of the lower surface of the presser pad 32a comes into contact with the jig upper surface 130b, the other part of the lower surface of the presser pad 32a can maintain a non-contact state with the upper surface of the outer peripheral wall 107a. Therefore, the load from the presser pad 32a is not easily applied to the upper surface of the outer peripheral wall, and the outer peripheral wall having low strength is less likely to be damaged. For example, by setting the depth h1 of the housing recess 130a to 1.0 mm and the height h2 of the crystal oscillator to about 0.97 mm, the above-described effects can be obtained.
When the depth h1 of the housing recess 130a is equal to the height h2 of the crystal oscillator, or when the height h2 of the crystal oscillator is larger than the height of the upper surface of the jig, the presser pad A step is provided on the lower surface of 32a so that a small gap is formed between the other surface of the lower surface of the press pad and the upper surface of the outer peripheral wall in a state where the upper surface of the jig is suppressed by a part of the lower surface of the press pad. That's fine.

On the other hand, when the entire oscillator is urged in the lifting direction by the probe pin 3 coming into contact with the adjustment terminal 110, the presser pad 32a that is in contact with the jig upper surface 130b in advance is going to lift up. Since the upper surface of the outer peripheral wall to be pressed is pressed down, the floating can be prevented.
It should be noted that the timing at which the press pad 32a is brought into contact with (close to) the upper surface 130b and the upper surface of the outer peripheral wall and the timing at which the probe pin 3 is brought into contact with the adjustment terminal 110 may be the same. It is preferable to prioritize the contact (proximity) by and to make the probe pin 3 contact the adjustment terminal 110 at a different timing after the pressing by the press pad is completed.
As described above, when the tip of the probe pin 3 (same as in the case of the tungsten probe 20) is adsorbed to the adjustment terminal 110, an attempt is made to remove the probe pin 3 after the measurement is finished. In the present embodiment, when the probe pin 3 is separated from the adjustment terminal, the pressing by the press pad 32a is continued and the press pad 32a is released after the probe pin is completely detached. By configuring and controlling in this manner, adsorption between the probe pin 3 and the adjustment terminal 110 is easily eliminated, and the oscillator is prevented from being lifted.

Next, FIG. 5 is a configuration explanatory view of an adjustment probe device according to another embodiment of the present invention.
The adjustment probe device according to this embodiment has two rows of left and right housing recesses 13 on one base.
This is applied when the jig 130 provided with 1 and 132 is used. A plurality of the receiving recesses 131 and 132 are arranged at predetermined intervals in a direction perpendicular to the drawing sheet. In the frequency adjustment step, the crystal oscillator A is accommodated in each of the accommodating recesses 131 and 132 with the crystal unit 100 facing downward, and the crystal oscillators in one of the accommodating recesses 131 in this example are accommodated. Carry out the adjustment work in advance. However, when the probe pin 3 (tungsten probe 20) is brought into contact with the adjustment terminal 110 of the crystal oscillator in each housing recess 131, the opposite side (left side of the drawing) of the jig 130 is lifted, and accurate measurement is performed. It becomes difficult.
