    摘要: Integrated circuit (IC) packages mounted on a loaded printed circuit board (PCB) are tested by a translator module by first placing a corresponding module over each package. Each module has rows of spring contacts for releasably contacting corresponding electrical leads adjacent opposite sides of the IC package. An upper surface of the module has an array of electrically conductive test pads internally connected to corresponding contacts on the module. The test pads match an array of spring probes in the test unit. The module can be a molded plastic housing with metal leaf spring contacts, or it can comprise a composite flex-circuit material with individual contacts comprising flexible spring-like metalized plastic fingers. Contacts on the test module can releasably engage the leads on the IC package directly, or they can contact separate conductive leads on the PCB adjacent the leads on the IC package. During testing, the spring probes contact the test pads on the test modules and circuit continuity is established via the electrical connections from the spring probes through the modules to the leads adjacent the IC packages. The modules translate dense in-line spacing of leads adjacent the IC packages to the oversized in-line spacing of test pads on the module. In another embodiment, the translator module is attached to a flex-circuit cable coupled to the test system electronics. The translator module is manually placed over each IC package during testing. In a further embodiment, an integrated circuit package contains a built-in test verifier system so that standard test probes can be used to test the package without use of a separate translator module.

    摘要: Optical fiber test probes test the optical functions of light-emitting circuit elements or displays, or are used in optical test fixtures. In one embodiment, an optical fiber test probe comprises an optical fiber in two sections in which both are movable with a receptacle against the bias of a compression spring during testing. One fiber is contained within a removable barrel so it can be replaced by removing it from the receptacle independently of the compression spring. In their operative test position, the two optical fibers are mounted in the receptacle to maintain light-tight optical continuity during testing. In another embodiment, an optical fiber test probe comprises a barrel and an optical fiber contained within a plunger movable in the barrel, in which a free end portion of the optical fiber extends unsupported through a compression spring which applies a spring bias to an internal end of the plunger. The fiber optic probe is isolated from loads imposed on the plunger during repetitive testing with the probe. A further embodiment comprises a fiber optic test having a low compliance, one-piece, spring loaded, molded plastic optical fiber retainer.

    摘要: A spring probe for performing tests on an electrical device having a plunger positioned within a barrel and including a spring in the barrel adjacent the plunger to apply a spring force against the plunger. The plunger includes a contact end having an angled surface for contacting the electrical device for applying a side load to the barrel, and a slot in the contact end for dividing the spring force upon contact with the electrical device.
