Abstract

The present invention provides a vertical elastic probe structure. The probe mainly comprises a first contact member, an elastic body, and a second contact member, in which the elastic body is in the middle and the first contact member and the second contact member are respectively formed on a periphery of the elastic body. The elastic body shows a configuration of two stacked rings but the upper and lower shapes are not symmetric, so that the elastic body may have more uniform stress distribution with deformation under compression. Thus, the probe according to the present invention may be utilized as electrical connection between two members or installed in a probe card for better contact performance and for high speed and high frequency chip testing.

The probe is micro-edited, and the plum heart is strict. The hairpin is designed to have a single-contact orientation of the probe. The model can be accurately positioned in Anshu to meet the needs of such W-devices. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a face straight elastic probe structure which can serve as a conductive member for electrical connection between two members (e.g., two circuit boards). For the above purposes, the probe of the present invention is mainly composed of at least a first contact member, an elastic body and at least a second contact member, and the hybrid body is located at ten positions n and a second piece. The lion is formed at different positions above and below the rotating body. 'The elastic body is like a double-ringed stack, and the shape of the upper and lower rings is asymmetrical. The middle-lower body is wider than the other. This makes the stress distribution of the elastic body more uniform when subjected to compression deformation. The above-mentioned and other objects and advantages of the present invention will be described in detail below. [Embodiment] As shown in Fig. 1, the probe i of the present invention is mainly 201205083, which is composed of a first contact member 11, an elastic body 12 and a first contact member 13, which is 12-position. The intermediate position is like a shape in which two rings are stacked, and the shapes of the upper and lower rings are asymmetrical. In this embodiment, the ring body is like a lie-shaped body or a round body. - The ring body is an upright elliptical body with a narrow width and a narrow design. The shape of the elastic body 12 is such that when the force is compressed, the stress uniformity is distributed throughout the elastic body, and the stress needle is prevented from being at the single-ring body to continue the life of the probe. In this embodiment, the number of the first contact member U and the second contact member 13 is only one, and is disposed on the outer wall of the elastic body 12 corresponding to each other. The shape of the first contact member 1 and the second contact member 13 It is in the form of an elongated needle, but this is only one embodiment of the invention and does not limit the scope of the invention. The probe of the present invention! It is made of a highly conductive metal material. Due to its special shape and large size, it is made by micro-lithography deep-etching (UGA) technology. As shown in the second figure, 'this is the second implementation_. In the present embodiment, in order to improve the shape of the first contact piece 11A and the third contact piece 13a, in the present embodiment, the pin (4) of the _ turn of the conductor element at this time is the first contact piece 11A and The length of the second contact member 13A does not need to be too large. The shape of the first contact member 11A and the second contact member m in the present embodiment is a curved curved body protruding only from the circumferential outer wall of the elastic body 12. It can be seen that this issue =-contact (four): _ pieces of fine-grained objects (such as the circuit board, the wafer to be tested) can be matched, as shown in Figure 3A, the second B _ shows, the first - And the shape of the second receiving end or double tip. The secret is 7 is a hole 201205083 The number of the first contact member and the second contact member is also not limited, as shown in the fourth figure, which is a third embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the probe 1β has a first contact member 11 Β and two second contact members 13 Β, and the shape of the elastic body 12 相同 is the same as that of the above-described embodiment. Since the present invention is a micro-probe, the design of the two second contact members 13Β is aimed at accurately positioning the probe precision, so that the probe does not swing left and right, and the angular displacement problem occurs. Similarly, the first contact member 11Β The number can also be several.
