知られていた。2. Description of the Related Art An integrated contact probe has conventionally been used for checking a disconnection or a short circuit of an electric circuit of a printed wiring board. As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional integrated contact probe includes a socket 2 fixedly mounted on a mounting plate 1 of a printed circuit board inspection machine, a body 3 fitted to the socket 2, and a body 3 3, a plunger 5 mounted via a spring 4 or the like.
A contact probe has been known in which the sliding portion 8 of the plunger 5 is configured to be relatively movable with respect to the body 3 when the tip chip 6 is pressed against the surface 7 to be measured of the printed circuit board.

When it disappeared, the entire contact probe was removed from the socket 2 and replaced. Even if it was possible to use it except for the tip, it was very uneconomical because the whole was replaced and many contact probes were all replaced.

In some cases, the contact probe is directly fitted to the mounting plate 1 and fixed with solder or an adhesive 13, but in this case, the solder or the like must be dissolved and removed, and a new contact probe must be fixed with the solder or the like. Not only was uneconomical, but also required great effort.

An object of the present invention is to provide a contact probe in which only the tip 6 needs to be replaced.

着脱可能に形成したことを特徴とする。According to the present invention, there is provided a semiconductor device comprising: a chip which comes into contact with a portion to be measured; a sliding portion which closely fits and slides on a body; In a contact probe having a plunger having a connecting portion to be connected, a fitting hole in which the connecting portion is closely fitted to the chip is formed, and a tip of the connecting portion fitted in the fitting hole is fitted into the fitting hole. It is characterized in that it is formed to have a slightly larger diameter than the hole, and a slit is formed in the center of the connecting portion at the center of the tip thereof so as to be detachable.

想も全く知られていない。If the entire contact probe is thick and the connecting portion has a certain thickness, it can be replaced by screwing the tip and the connecting portion.
Since the pitch interval between printed circuit boards to be inspected recently has become very narrow, it has not been possible to cut a screw with a contact probe that has been correspondingly narrowed. Therefore, conventionally, no contact probe in which the tip and the connecting portion are detachable is known at all, and no such idea is known.

よりも若干太く形成した例を示す。Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing an embodiment of the present invention.
An example is shown in which a slit 11 facing downward is formed at the center of the upper end of the chip 9, and the outer diameter of the connecting portion 9 is formed slightly larger than the inner diameter of the fitting hole 10.

る。In order to facilitate the fitting, at least one of the contact portions between the end of the connecting portion 9 and the fitting hole 10 has a chamfer 1
It is good to apply 2,12 '. For a smooth fit by hand, the chamfers are preferably applied to both 12, 12 '. The contact probe of the present invention has an outer diameter (diameter of the trunk portion 3) of 0.5 to 2 mm and a diameter of the connecting portion of 0.3 to 1.
It is particularly suitable for a contact probe as thin as about 0 mm.

In this case, although it depends on the thickness, it is preferable to select so as to come off when pulled with a force of 300 g to 1 kg. If the contact probe does not come off with a force of 300 g or less, the tip 6 does not come off during use of the contact probe, and it is easy to replace the chip.

のに便利である。The attachment and detachment of the chip 6 to and from the connecting portion 9 can be easily performed manually by an operator without requiring any special device. In the above embodiment, the contact chip of the present invention is mounted on the mounting plate 1 via the socket 2. When formed in this manner, it is convenient to replace the contact chip when a portion other than the chip 6 cannot be used.

ある。However, in the usage mode of the contact chip, the socket 2 may not be used but may be fitted and mounted on the mounting plate 1 as it is. The contact tip of the present invention is extremely useful especially in such a case. This is because when the chip 6 is worn, only the chip 6 needs to be replaced, and the troublesome work of dissolving the solder 13, removing the contact chip and soldering again is not required.
