Description

  The present invention relates to a probe-type contact (referred to herein as a “contact probe”), an electrical connection member having the contact probe, and a method for manufacturing the contact probe.

  In accordance with the recent trend of narrowing the pitch in this type of electrical connection member, the diameter of the contact probe has been reduced. Further, the tip shape of the contact probe is diversified into a needle type, a flat type, and a hemispherical type, and is devised for realizing a stable contact with the electrode of the connection object.

  Conventionally, as a connector device used for various tests of an IC package, one having a probe type contact is known (see Patent Document 1). The contact will be briefly described here with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 13, the contact 301 is pressed between a hollow cylindrical main body 302, a pair of movable plungers 303 and 304 slidably inserted at both ends of the cylindrical main body 302, and the movable plungers 303 and 304. And the spring member 305 acts on the end portions of the movable plungers 303 and 304 to apply a load to the movable plungers 303 and 304. Protrusions serving as contact points are formed at the distal ends of the movable plungers 303 and 304. A coil spring is used as the spring member 305.

  However, as the diameter of the contact probe is reduced, the coil spring used is also reduced in diameter, making it difficult to obtain a large reaction force.

  This will be described in detail below.

  With reference to FIGS. 1-2D, the electrical connection member which concerns on Example 1 of this invention is demonstrated.

  FIG. 1 shows a basic configuration of the electrical connecting member 1. The electrical connection member 1 is mainly composed of a housing 2 and a plurality of contact probes 3 arranged at predetermined positions. All the contact probes 3 are held in a state in which both ends protrude from the housing 2 by press-fitting a metal barrel 4 into an insertion hole 2 a provided in the insulating housing 2.

  2A and 2B show an external perspective view and a cross-sectional view of the contact probe 3, respectively. In the illustrated contact probe 3, metal plungers 5 are disposed above and below a substantially cylindrical barrel 4. A coiled spring (hereinafter referred to as “coil spring”) 6 is arranged in a compressed state between the upper and lower plungers 5 to urge the plunger 5 outward.

  As shown in FIG. 2C, a stopper 4 a formed by squeezing the barrel 4 is positioned at the small diameter portion 5 b of the plunger 5 to prevent the plunger 5 from coming off. The plunger 5 is movable in the range of the small diameter portion 5 b and moves in and out with respect to the barrel 4.

  As shown in FIG. 2D, a hole 5 a is provided at the tip of the plunger 5. The convex part 7a is press-fitted into the hole 5a so that the flexible wiring 8 is sandwiched between the button 7 made of hard resin. A rubber 9 is formed on the end surface 7 b of the button 7 as an elastic body between the button 7 and the flexible wiring 8. The rubber 9 is made of, for example, silicon rubber having a rubber hardness of 21 ° to 30 °.

  Here, the flexible wiring 8 is formed of a film that can be thinned, such as polyimide or aramid, as a base material 8a, and a thin film conductor 8b is formed on the surface of the base material 8a. The thickness of the thin film conductor 8b is preferably about several μm. The outer surfaces of the thin film conductor 8b, the plunger 5 and the barrel 4 of the flexible wiring 8 are preferably made of a highly conductive metal such as Au. The flexible wiring 8 extends around the peripheral surface of the rubber 9, the peripheral surface of the button 7 and the peripheral surface of the convex portion 7a so as to wrap around the end surface of the rubber 9, and presses the convex portion 7a into the hole 5a, thereby The flexible wiring 8 is sandwiched, and the thin film conductor on the surface thereof is brought into pressure contact with the inner surface of the hole 5a so as to be electrically connected to the plunger 5. The thin film conductor portion of the flexible wiring 8 located on the end face of the rubber 9 forms a contact portion 8c of the connected body.

  According to the contact probe 3 described above, the base material 8a of the flexible wiring 8 is as thin as several μm, and the rubber 9 is formed immediately below the contact portion 8c. A large area of contact can be obtained following the surface irregularities of the body. Moreover, since the flexible wiring 8 is pressed against the inner peripheral wall portion of the hole 5a of the plunger 5 by the button 7 and the upper and lower plungers 5 are electrically connected to each other via the barrel 4, all the conductive paths are highly conductive. It will be connected with a metal with high corrosion resistance. Therefore, conduction between the upper and lower pads can be favorably achieved. Thus, the contact probe 3 which exhibits the stable connection resistance with a low load can be provided by obtaining the contact of a wide area according to the surface unevenness | corrugation of a to-be-connected body.

  Needless to say, the coil spring 6 corresponds to the change (expansion / contraction) of the overall height (distance between the upper and lower pads) as in the conventional case.

  Here, a contact probe shown in FIG. 3 was prepared as a comparative example. The contact probe shown in FIG. 3 is a conventional contact probe known in the art, and the whole plunger 10 movable with respect to the barrel 4 is made of a hard metal material, and the tip 10a is formed in a conical shape. Is.

  Then, the basic characteristics of load-connection resistance between the contact probe of FIG. 2A and the contact probe of FIG. 3 were evaluated. The result is shown in FIG. In the graph of FIG. 4, (a) shows an approximate curve of the evaluation result of the contact probe of FIG. 2A, (b) shows an approximate curve of the evaluation result of the contact probe of FIG. 3, and (c) shows FIG. The approximate curve of the evaluation result of the contact probe is shown.

  From the graph of FIG. 4, it can be seen that the stable resistance of the contact probe of FIG. 2A can be reduced even with a low load compared to the contact probe of FIG. 3. Here, the stable resistance refers to a resistance region where the connection resistance becomes constant (stable) when a load is applied to the contact portion.

  In the contact probe of FIG. 2A, the contact is made in a wide area following the unevenness of the pad, so that the resistance is stabilized at a small load of 0.02 N, and the resistance value at the time of stabilization is as small as 220 mΩ. As a result, the required load per contact probe can be reduced. Therefore, in the case of the electrical connection member 1 in which the contact probe is expanded as shown in FIG. 1, the total load can be reduced. Miniaturization of parts can be achieved.

  In addition, since the coil spring 6 responds to the change in the pad-to-pad distance, the load-displacement characteristic depends on the elasticity of the metal spring having excellent linearity, and the permanent strain when only other elastic bodies such as rubber are used. Etc. are minimized.

  The electrical connection member using the double plunger type contact probe provided with the plunger 5 on both sides of the coil spring 6 has been described above. However, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the plunger 5 is attached only to one side of the coil spring 6. It can also be implemented as the electrical connection member of FIG. 5 using a single plunger contact probe 3a that is not provided. In the contact probe 3a shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, a lead wire 12 or the like is connected to an end portion that does not include the plunger 5, and the other configuration is exactly the same as that of the double plunger type. Therefore, even in the case of the single plunger type, the same operation and effect as in the case of the double plunger type can be achieved.

  With reference to FIGS. 7-9B, the electrical-connection member based on Example 2 of this invention is demonstrated.

  FIG. 7 shows a basic configuration of the electrical connection member 101. It mainly comprises a housing 102 and a plurality of contact probes 103 arranged at predetermined positions. All contact probes 103 are held by the housing 102.

  8A and 8B show an external view and a cross-sectional view of the contact probe 103, respectively. In the illustrated contact probe 103, the barrel 104 has a substantially cylindrical shape, and the remaining portion cut out at the end is bent inward to form a stopper 104a. The plunger 105 also has a cylindrical shape, and a holder 107 is attached and fixed to the outer periphery by press-fitting. The holder 107 has a slit 107 a (see FIG. 9) formed on a cylindrical ridgeline, and its inner diameter is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the plunger 105. Since the holder 107 is expanded and attached to the plunger 105, it is fixed at a predetermined position. A coil spring 106 is installed between the upper and lower holders 107. Here, as shown in FIG. 8B and FIG. 9A, the flexible wiring 108 is inserted into the upper and lower plungers 105 and the coil spring 106, and the button 110 press-fitted into the end of the hole 105a of the plunger 105 The plunger 105 is first fixed. The flexible wiring 108 extended from between the inner peripheral surface of the plunger 105 and the button 110 surrounds the rubber 109 formed on the button 110, and as shown in FIGS. 8B and 9B, the outer peripheral surface of the plunger 105. The second end is fixed by extending in the axial direction while being in close contact with the holder and sandwiching the extended end with the plunger 105 by the holder 107. Further, in some cases, fixing with a reinforcing material such as an adhesive may be added. Thus, the holder 107 is firmly fixed to the plunger 105, and the inner diameter of the stopper 104a after bending is smaller than the outer diameter of the holder 107. Therefore, the plunger 105 does not fall out of the barrel 104, and the barrel 104 It can move in and out.

  Here, as in the first embodiment, the base material 108a of the flexible wiring 108 is formed of a film that can be thinned, such as polyimide or aramid, and its thickness is preferably about several μm. A thin film conductor 108 is formed on the surface 108a. Also, the outermost surfaces of the flexible wiring 108, the plunger 105, and the barrel 104 are preferably made of a highly conductive and highly corrosion resistant metal such as Au as in the first embodiment.

  According to the contact probe 103 described above, the base material 108a of the flexible wiring 108 is as thin as several μm, and the rubber 109 is formed immediately below the contact portion 108c. Similar to the first embodiment, the contact can be made over a wide area. In addition, since the thickness of the base material 108a is as thin as several μm and its rigidity is very low, even if the coil spring 106 is compressed and the entire length is shortened, it can be flexed freely in the internal space of the coil spring 106. It is possible to follow the displacement of the plunger 105.

  On the other hand, as the conductive path, similarly to the first embodiment, the flexible wiring 108 is pressed against the inner peripheral wall portion of the plunger 105 by the button 110, and the upper and lower plungers 105 are electrically connected via the barrel 104. In this embodiment, another route is provided in which contact portions 108c, 108c directly above the upper and lower rubbers 109 are connected by a series of flexible wirings 108.

  In a normal contact probe, conduction through a coil spring has a long coil-shaped conductor length, a high conductor resistance value, and a coil component adversely affects high-speed transmission. The path along is not expected, and the conduction through the barrel is the main. However, the continuity between the barrel and the plunger is such that the mutual contact state fluctuates from time to time depending on both postures, and depends on the uncertainty. On the other hand, the presence of a constant conductive path (flexible wiring) always reduces the conductor resistance of the contact probe itself, resulting in a reduction in connection resistance. The advantage is considered to be an effect. Other effects are the same as in the first embodiment. In the graph of FIG. 4, (c) shows the evaluation result of the load-connection resistance characteristic of the contact probe 103 of FIG. 8A. The upper and lower contact portions 108c and 108c and the conductive path connecting these contact portions are integrally formed by the flexible wiring 108. Thus, it can be seen that the connection to the connected body can be achieved with a lower load and lower connection resistance than the contact probe 3 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 2A as well as the normal contact probe shown in FIG.

  With reference to FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the electrical connection member which concerns on Example 3 of this invention is demonstrated.

  FIG. 10 shows a basic configuration of the electrical connection member 201. It mainly comprises a housing 202 and a plurality of contact probes 203 arranged at predetermined positions. All the contact probes 203 are held by a housing 202 that is divided into two parts. The contact holding hole 202a provided in the housing 202 has a hole diameter changed in two stages, and is larger on the side where the housings 202 are combined. The flange 205a of the plunger 205 can be inserted into the large diameter portion, and the plunger 205 can be inserted into the small diameter portion.

  The plunger 205 of the contact probe 203 is made of a negative photosensitive resist material, and a flange 205a is formed at the base end connected to the coil spring 206. In the region where the rubber 209 and the flexible wiring 208 are in contact with each other, the resist material does not wrap around the surface (conductive surface) of the flexible wiring 208. The end of the coil spring 206 is embedded in the base end (flange 205a) of the plunger 205. An end portion of the printed wiring 208 is embedded and fixed in the plunger 205, led out from one side surface of the plunger 205, and disposed and fixed to the other side surface of the plunger 205 so as to wind the front end surface of the rubber 209.

  According to the contact probe 203 described above, the small diameter portion of the housing 202 acts as a locking portion of the flange 205a and serves as a stopper. Other operations are the same as those of the second embodiment. This structure is suitable for mass production.

  Furthermore, the manufacturing method of the contact probe 203 shown in FIG. 11 is demonstrated using FIG.

  First, in FIG. 12A, a mold 211 has a recess 211a for forming the contact probe 203, and after processing a silicon substrate, a Teflon (registered trademark) coating is applied to the surface. The flexible wire 208 is inserted into the coil spring 206 and stored in the recess 211 a of the mold 211. A pre-molded rubber 209 is set to a size that can be press-fitted into the recess 211a so that the flexible wiring 208 is pressed against the inner wall surface of the recess 211a.

  Next, the negative resist 212 is injected into the recess 211a while controlling a small amount. FIG. 12B shows a state after the negative resist 212 is injected.

  Next, the mask 213 on which the light shielding part 213a is patterned as shown in FIG. 12C is positioned while being positioned on the middle part of the coil spring 206 on the mold 211 as shown. In this state, the mold 211 is exposed using the reflected light of the silicon substrate of the mold 211.

  After the exposure, development is performed to remove the negative resist 212 at the portion of the coil spring 206 that is shielded from light from the middle part. At this time, the portion of the negative resist 212 that is not shielded from light is cured to form the plunger 205. FIG. 12D shows a state where the negative resist 212 is removed.

  Finally, the contact probe 203 shown in FIG. 11 is completed by removing it from the recess 211a of the mold 211.

  In any of the above-described embodiments, a structure in which an ultrathin flexible wiring body is provided on an elastic body in order to reliably realize surface contact at the contact portion of the contact probe, and resistance stabilization can be achieved with a low load. In addition, the resistance when stable can be reduced. As a result, it can be used even with a reaction force generated by a small-diameter coil spring adapted to a narrow diameter, and a narrow pitch can be realized. Further, since the metal spring is responsible for following the displacement, ideal spring characteristics (load / displacement characteristics) and linearity are established, and there is no need to worry about permanent distortion when only rubber is used as the elastic body. In addition, in order to stabilize the resistance value regardless of the posture of the contact probe, an ultra-thin flexible wiring body serving as a contact is extended through the internal space of the coil spring to provide a reliable conduction path at all times. Yes. In this way, the dead space of the coil spring's internal space is effectively used, so it is effective for space saving, and further effective for reducing and stabilizing the conductor resistance, and the short conduction path length makes it possible to transmit at high speed. Has the advantage of being excellent.
