- the moving tip portion 430 includes a first moving tip portion 431 positioned at the first end side of the electrically conductive contact pin 400 and a second moving tip portion positioned at the second end side of the electrically conductive contact pin 400. (435);
- the body portion 420 includes an elastic portion 421 for allowing the first moving tip portion 431 and the second moving tip portion 435 to be elastically displaced in the longitudinal direction of the electrically conductive contact pin 400; and guides the elastic portion 421 to be compressed and stretched in the longitudinal direction of the electrically conductive contact pin 400, and along the longitudinal direction of the electrically conductive contact pin 400 to prevent the elastic portion 421 from buckling while being compressed.
- One end of the first moving tip part 431 is a free end, and the other end is connected to the first elastic part 421a, so that it can move vertically elastically by contact pressure.
- One end of the second moving tip 435 is a free end, and the other end is connected to the second elastic part 421b, so that it can move vertically elastically by contact pressure.
- connection part 450 connects the second elastic part 421b of the body part 420 and the second moving tip part 435.
- the support part 425 includes a first support part 425a provided on the left side of the elastic part 421 and a second support part 425b provided on the right side of the elastic part 421 .
- the intermediate fixing portion 421c extends in the width direction of the electrically conductive contact pin 400 and connects the first support portion 425a and the second support portion 425b.
- the first elastic part 421a is provided on the upper part with respect to the intermediate fixing part 421c
- the second elastic part 421b is provided on the lower part with respect to the intermediate fixing part 421c. Based on the intermediate fixing part 421c, the first elastic part 421a and the second elastic part 421b are compressed or stretched.
- the intermediate fixing part 421c is fixed to the first and second support parts 425a and 425b so that when the first and second elastic parts 421a and 421b are compressed and deformed, the position of the first and second elastic parts 421a and 421b moves.
- An area provided with the first elastic part 421a and an area provided with the second elastic part 421b are distinguished from each other by the intermediate fixing part 421c. Therefore, foreign substances introduced into the upper opening 143a cannot flow into the second elastic portion 421b, and foreign substances introduced into the lower opening 143b cannot flow into the first elastic portion 421a. Through this, by limiting the movement of the foreign matter introduced into the support part 425, it is possible to prevent the foreign matter from interfering with the operation of the first and second elastic parts 421a and 421b.
- the first support portion 425a and the second support portion 425b are formed along the longitudinal direction of the electrically conductive contact pin 400, and the first support portion 425a and the second support portion 425b form the electrically conductive contact pin 100. It is integrally connected to the intermediate fixing part 421c formed to extend along the width direction of. While the first and second elastic parts 421a and 421b are integrally connected through the intermediate fixing part 421c, the electrically conductive contact pin 400 is formed as one body as a whole.
- the first and second elastic parts 421a and 421b are formed by alternately connecting a plurality of straight parts and a plurality of curved parts.
- the straight portion connects left and right adjacent curved portions, and the curved portion connects upward and downward adjacent straight portions.
- the curved portion is provided in an arc shape.
- a straight portion is disposed at the central portion of the first and second elastic portions 421a and 421b, and a curved portion is disposed at an outer portion of the first and second elastic portions 421a and 421b.
- the straight portion is provided parallel to the width direction so that deformation of the curved portion according to the contact pressure is more easily achieved.
- the first elastic part 421a requires a compression amount sufficient for the first movable tip parts 431 of the plurality of electrically conductive contact pins 400 to stably contact the connection pad CP of the space transformer ST, respectively.
- the second elastic portion 421b requires an amount of compression sufficient to allow the second movable tips 435 of the plurality of electrically conductive contact pins 400 to stably contact the chips. Therefore, the spring coefficient of the first elastic part 421a and the spring coefficient of the second elastic part 421b are different from each other. For example, the length of the first elastic part 421a and the length of the second elastic part 421b are provided differently. Also, the length of the second elastic part 421b may be longer than that of the first elastic part 421a.
- the support part 425 is provided with a guide part 427 that allows the first moving tip part 435 to perform a wiping operation.
- the guide part 427 includes a first guide part 427a provided on the first support part 425a and a second guide part 427b provided on the second support part 425b.
- the first guide part 427a and the second guide part 427b guide the head part 437 of the first moving tip part 435 to move upward to one side by pressing force.
- the first guide part 427a and the second guide part 427b are provided in a curved shape.
- a space 429 is provided between the first guide part 427a and the second guide part 427b.
- the space portion 429 is a space in which the second moving tip portion 435 can move, and the inner wall of the support portion 425 forming the space portion 429 serves as the guide portion 427 .
- connection part 436 of the second moving tip part 435 When a pressing force is applied to the connection part 436 of the second moving tip part 435, at least a part of the second moving tip part 435 located inside the support part 425 comes into sliding contact with the inside of the support part 425 and moves.
- the connection part 436 of the two-moving tip part 435 performs a wiping operation.
- the second elastic part 421b is compressed according to the movement of the second moving tip part 435 when a pressing force is applied to the connecting part 436 of the second moving tip part 435, and the pressing force applied to the second moving tip part 435 is released.
- the second moving tip 435 returns to its original position. Even when the second movable tip 435 is restored to its original position, the second movable tip 435 is guided by at least one of the first guide part 427a and the second guide part 427b and descends.
- At least part of the guide part 427 may be in the form of a curved surface or at least part of it in the form of an oblique line, but it is not limited to such a shape, and when a pressing force is applied to the second moving tip part 435, the second moving tip part 427 All shapes 435 capable of performing a wiping operation are included.
- the electrically conductive contact pin 400 has a body There is a difference in the basic operating principle of the wiping operation in that the second movable tip 435 provided in the unit 420 to be relatively movable performs the wiping operation.
- the electrically conductive contact pin 400 can minimize damage to the electrode pad WP because the oxide film layer 8 is removed while the second moving tip 435 is tilted relative to the body 420 .
