摘要: The terminals of a device under test (DUT) are temporarily electrically connected to corresponding contact pads on a load board by a series of electrically conductive pin pairs. The pin pairs are protected against damage from balls on a DUT by a protective ball guide which includes recesses for receiving part of the ball but prevents the ball from driving the pins beyond a limited range. The ball guide provides fine alignment horizontally and vertically enabling stable electrical performance.

摘要: A contact for use in a test set which can be mounted to a load board of a tester apparatus. The contact, which serves to electrically connect at least one lead of a device being tested with a corresponding metallic trace on the load board, has a first end defining multiple contact points. As the test pin is rotated about an axis generally perpendicular to a plane defined by the contact, successive contact points are sequentially engaged by a lead of the device being tested. The test pin has a hard stop edge which engages a hard stop wall which limits its rotation movement. The bottom of the pin has a shallow convex curvature preferably with a flat region and the tip of the test pin has a chisel edge.

摘要: A structure and method for providing a contact pin between a device under test (DUT) and a load board which provides upper and lower contact point which are axial aligned is disclosed. The pin has an upper (30) and lower (32) section and a hinge (44/46) in between which allow flex of both upper and lower contact (24/26) which, but the axial alignment can provide a direct replacement for POGO pins but with greater reliability. It also includes a structure and method for removing upper pins 230 by use of a modified hinge 244a.

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.

摘要: A testing device for wafer level testing of IC circuits is disclosed. An upper and lower pin (22, 62) are configured to slide relatively to each other and are held in electrically biased contact by an elastomer (80). The elastomer is precompressed from its natural rest state between a top (22) plate and a bottom (70). Pre compression improves the resilient response of the pins. The pin crows (40) are maintained relatively coplanar by the engagement of at least one flang (44a-b) against an up-stop surface 90 of plate 20, thereby insuring coplanarity of the crowns. The pin guide (12) is maintained in alignment with the retainer 14 by establishing a registration corner (506) and driving the guide into the corner by elastomers in at least one diagonally opposite corner.

摘要: A compliant probe contact assembly for a testing system for testing integrated circuit devices is provided. The contact assembly includes an upper plunger including a first shoulder separating an upper shaft from a lower shaft, and a retainer proximate an end of the lower shaft. The contact assembly also includes a first receiver and a second receiver configured to engage with the upper plunger, each of the first and second receivers including a second shoulder having a shoulder stop. The contact assembly further includes a biasing member. When the contact assembly is assembled, the biasing member is captured between a bottom of the first shoulder and the shoulder stops of the first and second receivers. The upper plunger separates sides of upper portions of the first and second receivers. Sides of lower portions of the first and second receivers contact with each other.

摘要: A contact assembly for a testing system for testing integrated circuit devices is disclosed. The contact assembly includes a first blade, a second blade, and an elastomer configured to retain the first blade and the second blade. The first blade and the second blade are electrically conductive. The first blade and the second blade are arranged in a cross configuration so that the first blade and the second blade form a substantially X-shape when assembled. The elastomer is at least columnar in part and non-conductive.

摘要: A compliant ground block for a testing system for testing integrated circuit devices is disclosed. The compliant ground block includes a plurality of electrically conductive blades in a side by side generally parallel relationship. The blades are configured to be longitudinally slidable with respect to each other. The block also includes an elastomer configured to retain the plurality of blades. Each blade of the plurality of blades includes a first end and a second end opposite to the first end in the longitudinal direction. The plurality of blades is arranged so that the first end of each blade of the plurality of blades is opposite to the first end of an adjacent blade in the longitudinal direction so that the first end of one blade is adjacent the second end of the adjacent blade. The elastomer is at least tubular (e.g., hollow or solid cylindrical) in part and non-conductive.

摘要: A test socket for a device under test (DUT) is disclosed in several embodiments. One embodiment shows a test socket base (16) with apertures (30) for insertion of test pin insert blocks (28). The blocks are inserted top—in or bottom—in and are provided with registration bosses 80 and teeth 92 or other means for maintaining registration. Blocks are provided with dielectric constants to achieve different frequency response relative to other pins. To achieve great EMI and cross talk isolation, the socket may be made of aluminum with hard anodize coating to insulate test pins (32) from the housing.
