Particularly, among the various small multimedia devices, the smartphone is a representative multimedia device in which various technologies are concentrated into one, and there is a tendency to develop the component modules to be applied thereto in a small size in accordance with the demand for consumers who prefer a miniaturized design .

Among these components, a camera module is manufactured by using an image sensor chip of CCD or CMOS. The operation of the camera module is as follows. After the object is focused on the image sensor chip through a lens, the optical signal is converted into an electric signal, So that an object can be displayed on the display medium of the display device.

In addition, after the assembly of each component is completed, the camera module is inspected for abnormalities of modules such as an OS (Open-Short) test, a color test, and a pixel test. In order to evaluate the characteristics of the camera module, the same operation signal and power source as those of the electronic component to which the camera module is mounted are checked to check whether or not the camera module is abnormal.

Such inspection is carried out by providing a socket on which a camera module can be seated, placing the camera module in the socket, and then connecting probe pins for receiving power and control signals of the camera module to the terminals of the socket, And the test is carried out.
