    摘要: The IC test system provides a system and method for thermal management of test pins. A test pin array (22) in a pin guide (24) is mounted in a retainer (20) which is located between an IC wafer (12) which contains IC devices to be tested (DUT) and a load board (40) which provides pathways to test signals to the DUT. On the other side of the load board is a contact plate (50) which together with the retainer straddles the load board. Leg extensions (36) pass through the load board apertures (42) and provide a thermal circuit from the contact plate to the retainer and to the pin array. On the upper side of the contact plate is a cooling/heating system with a thermal electric peltier device (62) and a further heat exchanger (64) as needed. Holes (44) are provided in the legs (36) to provide a supply of dry air to the wafer and pin array to minimize condensation as a result of cooling effects.

    摘要: The terminals of a device under test are temporarily electrically connected to corresponding contact pads on a load board by a series of electrically conductive pin pairs. The pin pairs are held in place by an interposer membrane that includes a top contact plate facing the device under test, a bottom contact plate facing the load board, and a vertically resilient, non-conductive member between the top and bottom contact plates. Each pin pair includes a top and bottom pin, which extend beyond the top and bottom contact plates, respectively, toward the device under test and the load board, respectively. The top and bottom pins contact each other at an interface that is inclined with respect to the membrane surface normal. When compressed longitudinally, the pins translate toward each other by sliding along the interface. The sliding is largely longitudinal, with a small and desirable lateral component determined by the inclination of the interface.

    摘要: A floating or compliant plate test socket device and method is disclosed. Three primary components, a fixed frame (20) receives a floating or compliant plate (22), sit together atop a housing (24) which contains contact pins used for the electrical test of the DUT (device under test). In fixed plate (20) are bearings for reducing friction when the floating plate is driven downward by the DUT inserter. Embedded in sidewalls (40) are a plurality of vertical raceways (46) which receive bearings (48). The raceways are borings, which have gap in the boring, in the fixed plate sidewalls (40) with the boring center spaced from the sidewall sufficiently that part of the bore removes part of the sidewall but allows the ball bearings to partially protrude from the gap formed in the incomplete semicircular boarding without the bearings being able to freely escape.

    摘要: An actuator for pressing a plurality of circuit contacts carried on a microcircuit package against a plurality of test contacts has a frame having a top surface and a bottom surface facing away from the top surface. The frame has first and second end slots each intersecting the top surface at opposite ends thereof. A loader foot is carried by the frame's bottom surface for applying force to a microcircuit. First and second latch elements, each respectively mounted within the frame's first and second end slots are each shiftable between a latched position and an unlatched position within the frame's first and second slots, each said latch element when in the latched position for gripping an edge of an alignment plate and when in the unlatched position for releasing the alignment plate. An actuator element mounted on the frame's top surface receives manual force and converts the received manual force to force applied to the latch elements to shift the latch elements between the latched and unlatched positions.

    摘要: A grounding assembly for testing which can be readily changed is provided by an insert which is retained within an opening in a test socket. Flexible projections from the socket fit within grooves in the insert to provide the retention means. The insert is positioned within an opening in the socket adjacent to an opening containing a device under test (DUT). The insert is also between the DUT and a test board, and has contacts arranged such they connect ground contacts on the DUT to opposing contacts on the test board. The insert can provide different numbers, arrangements, and types of contacts as well as different materials for both the contact and contact body by merely changing the insert.

    摘要: An apparatus for providing a controlled impedance directly to predetermined contact elements within a socket, thereby reducing the nulldistortingnull nature of the electrical interconnection system. In an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, predetermined contacts of a socket may have a resistance, inductance, capacitance, or a combination thereof incorporated therein. In another illustrative embodiment, at least one active element(s) may also be incorporated into predefined contacts. In this manner, predefined contacts may nullprocessnull the corresponding signal in a predetermined manner, defined by the circuitry incorporated on the contact itself. Illustrative functions that may be performed include, but are not limited to, amplifying, analog-to-digital converting, digital-to-analog converting, predefined logic functions, or any other function that may be performed via a combination of active and/or passive elements including a microprocessor function.
