Abstract:
A holder for conductive contacts, wherein an opening part (5a) is provided in a high strength substrate (5) at a portion for mounting the conductive contacts, holder hole forming member (7) formed of a synthetic resin material is filled in the opening part through an insulating film (6) formed by coating the surface of the substrate with an insulating material, holder holes (2) are provided in the holder hole forming member and coiled springs (8) and conductor needle bodies (9) and (10) are assembled therein, and the ratio of the reinforcement material to the holder becomes high and the characteristics of the holder become near those of the reinforcement material as the base metal of the holder, whereby even if the holder is thinned, the lowering of the strength can be suppressed as compared with a conventional holder formed by simply insert-molding a metal material, and the thickness of the holder can be further reduced.
Abstract:
A fastening member includes a first alloy portion and a second alloy portion. The first alloy portion is made of an aluminum alloy including 0.005 wt% to 5.0 wt% zinc and 0.6 wt% to 2.0 wt% magnesium and is provided to a part that comes into contact with at least one of a plurality of members serving as a fastening target. The second alloy portion is made of an aluminum alloy including more than 2.0 wt% and 5.0 wt% or less magnesium and more than 5.0 wt% and 10 wt% or less zinc and is joined to the first alloy portion.
Abstract:
A holder of an electroconductive contactor comprises a silicon wafer having a multilayer structure in which a silicon oxide film having a thickness of, say, around 1 mu m is formed between first and second silicon layers. A small-diameter hole for guiding the head of an electroconductive needle body is made in the first silicon layer, and a large-diameter hole for receiving a flange portion of the needle body and a helical compression spring is made in the second silicon layer. A stopper against which the flange portion is struck is formed with a silicon oxide layer. The surface of the first silicon layer is machined, for example, lapped, and therefore the projection of the needle body is restricted with high precision. Since the holder is made of the same material as that of an object to be measured and therefore the thermal expansion coefficients thereof are the same, the relative positions of needle bodies are not displaced even under a test in a high-temperature atmosphere when the silicon wafer is inspected by multi-point measurement.
Abstract:
A conductive contact has a conductive needle and a needle guide hole formed in a plate consisting of a high-strength material such as metal and thus improves the positioning accuracy of the needlepoint by strengthening that portion of the holder where the needle guide hole is opened. If an available conductive metal is used as a high-strength material, an insulating film is formed inside the needle guide hole that guides the sliding needle, so that insulation is secured. In addition, by forming the plate from a conductive material, forming an insulating film inside a through hole for guiding the needle and receiving a coil spring, and covering the holder with an insulating film, the conductive needle and the compressive coil spring in the through hole are shielded electromagnetically if the plate is grounded, with the result that the effects of noises decrease.
Abstract:
A lathe machining member is provided that, when a rare and expensive material is used as a raw material for forming a machined product, is capable of reducing waste of such material and reducing costs. For this purpose, a cylindrical core portion (3), at least a part of which is made of a noble metal alloy and which has a diameter larger than a maximum diameter of a shape obtained by lathe machining, and a hollow-cylindrical peripheral portion (2), which is made of a material different from the material of the core portion (3), are included. The core portion (3) is arranged in a hollow portion of the peripheral portion (2) with no space. The material applied to the peripheral portion (2) is a free-cutting material selected from a group of, for example, free-cutting brass, free-cutting phosphor bronze, free cutting nickel silver, and free-cutting beryllium copper. The noble metal alloy applied to the core portion (3) is, for example, alloy mainly consisting of silver (Ag), palladium (Pd), gold (Au), platinum (Pt), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), and nickel (Ni), alloy mainly consisting of palladium, silver, and copper, or alloy mainly consisting of silver, platinum, zinc, gold, and copper.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for manufacturing a conductive contact holder that is realized in a thin figure with its strength maintained, achieving reduction in production time and cost. A substrate 32 is formed with a conductive material, an insulating member 30 that becomes a holder member 31 is fitted to a hollow portion 321 provided in the substrate 32, and the both members are fastened to each other. A surface of the insulating member 30 and an adjoining surface of the substrate 32 are polished so as to constitute a continuous smooth surface. Further, a plurality of holder holes 311 are formed that penetrate the insulating member 30 and respectively contain a plurality of conductive contacts 2. To fasten the insulating member 30 and the substrate 32, an insulating adhesive 33 is filled therebetween. Alternatively, the adhesive 33 is applied either to an inner surface of the hollow portion 321 before the insulating member 30 is fitted or to a side surface facing the hollow portion 321 of the insulating member 30 when the insulating member 30 is being fitted, or to the both surfaces.
