Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a wafer socket, in particular to a wafer socket capable of detecting whether the wafer is positioned horizontally. Background technique
[0002] The function of the IC socket is to electrically connect a plurality of protruding terminals (pins or leads) of the chip to a plurality of soldering pads (pads) of the circuit board for testing. Chip sockets are consumables, and can also be replaced according to the type of test chip. Therefore, a well-designed chip socket must be easy to replace.
[0003] In addition to easy replacement, whether the chip is placed in the correct position is also an important issue. Such as figure 1 As shown, US Pat. No. 5,100,332 discloses a wafer socket comprising a base 1 and an upper cover 2 . The base 1 has a bearing surface 3 with grooves for accommodating wafers to be tested (not shown); The wafer socket is characterized in that the four corners of the base 1 have a V-shaped recessed structu...
