Abstract

A pogo tower is disclosed, which comprises a base, an insulating upper cover, an insulating lower cover and a plurality of pogo pins. The plurality of pogo pins are placed in a plurality of through holes of the base, and the insulating upper cover and the insulating lower cover are respectively mounted on the upper surface and the lower surface of the base. Two radially enlarged shoulders located near two ends of each pogo pin are blocked and restrained between an upper hole of the insulating upper cover and a lower hole of the insulating lower cover. Therefore, the whole structure of the pogo tower is simple, but also cost saving and convenient for assembling. Moreover, the axial distance of the insulating upper cover to the insulating lower cover is longer than the axial distance of the two shoulders of each pogo pin. Thus, each pogo pin due to gravity, or apply to a tiny force, may produce axial shift, so that it is convenient for installing on a load board.

Further, since the conventional probe 9 is fixed in the conventional probe holder 9 ,, that is, the two elastic ends of the conventional probe 9 are also fixed and cannot be displaced up and down. At this time, when the conventional probe 90 is set (4) to the remainder (1), since the two elastic ends of the conventional probe 9 have a pre-stress amount, it is necessary to apply a considerable external force (about a few kilograms of weight to recognize the average As the whole of the probe holder 9G, and approaching the direction of the test carrier (1), it is approached to perform the lock-setting. However, if the force is not evenly applied at the time, the conventional probe holder 9G is in the middle side (four), The resulting guide post 94f is curved or broken. The severer is more likely to break the conventional probe holder 90 or the plate 1U. The guide post 94 is mainly used to provide positioning of the probe holder 90 when assembled with the test carrier 111. This shows that 'how to achieve a probe holder with simple structure, low cost, convenience, time and effort, and easy to install or disassemble, is an urgent need in the industry.

Moreover, a shoulder portion 22 is radially protruded from the outer tube 21 at a wall adjacent to the two ends. The shoulder portion 22 has a radial dimension W that is greater than the aperture d of the upper perforation 410 and the lower perforation 420, so that the shoulder 22 is limited to be larger than the upper perforation 410 and the lower perforation 420. According to this, through the 201107756 through the locking limit of the two end shoulders 22, the probe 2 will not fall off the probe base 1 〇 〇 〇 , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , In the end of 21 bis. Further, in the present embodiment, the needle 25 is an elastic needle 26 which is axially stretchable. Among them, the elastic needle 26 is mainly disposed in the outer tube 21 because each of the probes 2 includes a compression spring 27. The two needles 25 respectively abut against the two ends of the compression spring 27 to provide the function of axial expansion and contraction of the needle 25 by the spring force of the compression spring π. 8A, FIG. 8B, and FIG. 8C, FIG. 8A is a cross-sectional view of a probe shoulder according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8B is a cross-sectional view of the probe shoulder of the third preferred embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 8C A cross-sectional view of a probe shoulder of a fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the shoulder 22 of each probe 2 is a full circle of shoulder collars. It may of course also be a half-turn shoulder ring or one or two shoulder protrusions either ' as shown in Figures 8A, 8B, and 8C, respectively. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Referring to Figure 9, Figure 9 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of a probe holder in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the plurality of probes 2 are respectively accommodated in a plurality of through holes 31 of the base 3. Moreover, the plurality of probes 2 are respectively transmitted through the shoulder portion 22 thereof, because the radial dimension W is larger than the aperture d of the upper through hole 41〇 and the lower through hole 42〇, and the locking limit is located above the insulating upper cover 41. The cover 42 is between the perforations 420. In addition, each probe 2 has two ends of the tube 21 and two needles 25. Since the outer diameter D of the outer tube is smaller than the diameter d of the upper perforation 41〇 and the lower perforation 420, it can axially pass through the corresponding upper portion. The through hole 4 丨〇 and the lower through hole 42 凸 are exposed outside the insulating upper cover 41 and the insulating lower cover 42. 201107756 However, the axial distance L between the insulating cover 41 and the insulating lower cover 42 in the present embodiment is greater than the axial distance 1 of the tube 21 corresponding to the two end shoulders 22 of each of the probes 2. Accordingly, each of the probes 2 can be displaced relative to the base 3 by gravity or by applying a slight external force, so that the probe holder 1 is more easily mounted to the test carrier 111. In detail, when the probe holder is mounted to the test carrier 111, only the probe holder 10 is slightly biased toward the test carrier U1, that is, the force of the probe holder 10 is slightly depressed. All of the probes 2 have been displaced from the direction of the test carrier 111 'and then only need to maintain a slight force below' to easily attach the probe holder retaining ring 7 to the test carrier 111. Therefore, in the present invention, when the probe holder 10 is mounted on the test carrier lu, the probe 2 can be freely displaced in the probe holder 10, so that it is not necessary to apply a relatively external force as is conventionally known. It is known that the positioning post 5 is bent, broken, or destroyed by the test carrier 111, or the probe holder 1 as is conventional. In this embodiment, the floating distance of the probe holder 10 when it is mounted on the test carrier lu is only 0.2 mm, and the conventional one is 2 mm, so that the difference in the pre-pressure amount can be known. Further, the probe 2 of the present invention is also replaced by a conventional probe spacer by a shoulder portion 22 in which the outer tube 21 is integrally provided. Therefore, in the present invention, when the probe 2 is assembled, it is not necessary to be carefully placed one by one as is conventionally required, and it is only necessary to easily sprinkle the needle and then slightly dial into the finishing, which saves time and labor. The above-mentioned embodiments are merely exemplified for the convenience of the description, and the scope of the claims is intended to be limited to the above embodiments. 201107756 [Simple description of the diagram] Figure 1 is a perspective view of a semiconductor test equipment.
