    摘要: A compliant electrical contact assembly for temporarily interfacing two electrical devices. The assembly includes a contact having loops with axes forming with a closed coil with opposed contact points. The axes is angled from the direction of the compression force holding the assembly sandwiched between the electrical devices. The electrically shorted loops of the coil slide on the surfaces of one another as the compression force is applied, providing compliance. The contact can be made extremely small such that pitches in the micrometer range can be achieved with very low inductance values. The contact is installed in a through aperture in a dielectric panel such that the contact points extend from opposed openings of the aperture. Optionally, the aperture is filled with a compliant, conductive elastomer.

    摘要: A test socket for an integrated circuit package having an upper housing and a lower housing secured to the top and bottom surfaces, respectively, of a load board. The upper housing having a cavity for receipt of the integrated circuit package and including a hole in the base of the upper housing to allow a plurality of solid socket plungers to contact test sites on the integrated circuit package. The socket plungers are positioned within a plurality of channels formed in the lower housing and extend through a plurality of holes in the load board to contact the test sites. A plurality of springs are positioned in the channels of the lower housing below the socket plungers to provide a spring force to bias the socket plungers upwardly toward the integrated circuit package. A nonconductive pushrod is positioned between the spring and a beveled edge of the plunger and a nonconductive cap is positioned above the load board for high frequency test signals. For closely spaced test sites a thinner daughter board is electrically connected to the load board through a hole in the load board. The test socket is then positioned on the daughter board.

    摘要: A compliant electrical contact having a closed coil with opposed, paraxial leads extending therefrom at an angle from the axis of the coil. The electrically shorted loops of the coil slide on the surfaces of one another as axial force is applied to the ends of the leads, providing compliance. The contact can be made extremely small such that pitches in the micrometer range can be achieved with very low inductance values. The contact is a component of an assembly where it is installed in a through aperture in a dielectric sheet. The coil fits into a larger center section of the aperture. The leads extend from opposed openings of the aperture. Optionally, the aperture is filled with a compliant, conductive elastomer.

    摘要: A compliant electrical contact and an assembly employing a plurality of the contacts that provides an interface between two electrical devices. The contact has a convoluted spring with convolutions and a contact point at each end. In one contact embodiment, the convolutions have appendages which electrically short adjacent convolutions throughout a significant portion of the compression range of the contact. An appendage may be a single finger that extends from one convolution toward the adjacent convolution, a pair of opposed fingers that extend toward each other from adjacent convolutions, or machined edges on adjacent convolutions. In some configurations, the fingers or a surface on the appendage or fingers are at a skew angle to the direction of compression. In another contact embodiment, a shunt attached at one contact point and parallel to the spring spans most or all of the convolutions longitudinally. The shunt electrically shorts adjacent convolutions by wiping on the abutting surface of the shunt or by a wiper extending from the convolution to the shunt. Alternatively, the shunt electrically shorts the two contact points, bypassing the convolutions. The contact is placed within a through aperture in a dielectric panel that has openings at each end through which the contact points protrude.

    摘要: An external spring probe is provided having a first section and a second section which extend and compress relative to each other. The first section consists of a tip at one end and a first contact component opposite the tip. A flange extends radially outward between the tip and the first contact component. The second section consists of a tip at one end and a second contact component opposite the tip. The second contact component is in contact with the first contact component. A flange extends radially outward between the second section tip and the second contact component. A spring is sandwiched between the two flanges surrounding the two contact components.

    摘要: A barrel for a spring probe has a tubular body and a crown shaped terminal end for discrete point contact of the barrel. The terminal end has a drawn opening with a substantially circular cross-sectional dimension and a crown shaped contact integrally formed in the circular opening. There are several possible shapes for the crown shaped contact including pointed projections where multiple triangular shapes are placed end to end around the circumference of the terminal end, a corrugated shape with squares spaced apart around the circular edge, a wavy shape along the circular edge, or a rounded shape around the edge.

    摘要: A spring-loaded contact probe for performing tests on an electrical device. The probe includes an elongated plunger having an end with a convex surface retained within a barrel. A spring for applying an axial load is positioned within the barrel and a ball sized to translate a portion of the axial force into a side loading force is positioned between the spring and the convex surface of the plunger. The spring has a tightly wound coil adjacent the ball for maintaining the ball against the barrel.
