Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an electronic component inspection jig suitable for electrically inspecting an electronic component that has a large number of terminals arranged at small intervals on its side surface. It is.

(Prior art) A conventional electronic component inspection jig for electrically testing electronic components such as ICs that have many terminals on the side has a vertically movable mounting board facing the terminals of the electronic component. Various measurements and inspections are performed by disposing contact probes in the vertical direction and bringing the contact probes into contact with terminals of electronic components by moving the mounting board in a relative approach direction.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) By the way, in recent years, the number of terminals of electronic components such as ICs has increased as the circuits have become more multifunctional, and due to miniaturization, the spacing between the terminals has become very small. It is.
For this reason, in the case of conventional electronic component inspection jigs, even if the electronic component to be inspected is slightly shifted from the predetermined inspection position due to poor board precision or poor mounting position, contact probes are not applied to the terminals. There was a risk that accurate contact would not be possible, and there was a problem that measurement and inspection lacked reliability.

The purpose of the present invention was to solve the above-mentioned problems with the conventional electronic component inspection jig. Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide an electronic component inspection jig that does not crush and destroy electronic components.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve this purpose, the electronic component inspection jig of the present invention has a vertically movable platform with a
A recess into which an electronic component having a large number of terminals can be inserted and fitted is formed on the side surface, and a tapered inclined surface is formed at the edge of the recess, facing the terminals of the electronic component to be fitted into the recess. A through hole is formed in the vertically movable base in the vertical direction, and a coil is disposed on a support base provided on the other side of the vertically movable base so that the vertically movable base is movable vertically without being separated. A contact probe that is elastically biased in the separation direction by a spring and is vertically extensible is attached to the support base so that its tip part is loosely fitted into the through hole formed in the vertically movable base and faces the terminal of the electronic component. and the support stand is arranged horizontally movably and rotatably on an inspection base disposed on the opposite side of the vertically movable table, and the support stand is arranged in a predetermined position with respect to the inspection base. It is configured to be elastically held in the position.

(Function) A recess into which an electronic component can be inserted and fitted is formed in the vertically movable table, and a through hole is bored in the vertical direction facing the terminal provided on the side of the electronic component to be fitted into the recess. Since the tip of the contact probe is loosely fitted into the hole, the electronic component is fitted into the recess and positioned by relative movement, and the contact probe is inserted into the hole.
The probe can be brought into precise contact with the terminal.
In addition, the support table is disposed horizontally and rotatably on the inspection base, and the support table is elastically held at a predetermined position with respect to the inspection base, and the recess of the vertically movable table Since a tapered inclined surface is formed on the edge of the support base, even if the recessed portion is misaligned with the position of the electronic component, the support base can be moved by the guidance of the inclined surface so that the recessed portion matches the electronic component. When the electronic component comes out of the recess, the support base elastically returns to a predetermined position relative to the inspection base. Furthermore, since the vertically movable table is disposed so as to be vertically movable without being separated from the support table, and is elastically biased in the direction of separation by a coil spring, it is possible to reduce the distance between the electronic parts and the recess. The moving distance can be absorbed by the vertically movable table approaching the support table against the elasticity of the coil spring, and electronic components are not crushed and destroyed.
