Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of PCB flying probe testing, in particular to a PCB flying probe testing device. Background Art

[0002] Existing PCB flying probe testers are primarily made of plastic, fashioned through NC or injection molding into a plastic frame with two elastic positioning arms. Metal probes are mounted perpendicular to the two arms, and connecting wires are connected to the tester. The bending of the plastic elastic positioning arms, in conjunction with an optical coupler, allows the metal probes to contact the PCB, enabling continuous testing.

[0003] Plastics are often easily deformed by stress and temperature during the molding process, making them unsuitable for long-term storage. This is especially true during long-distance transportation in hot weather, where slight deformations can easily occur. Plastics have limited elasticity, and expensive engineering plastics are often required to meet the elasticity requirements of flying probe testing. Plastic elastic frames also have limited bending resistance, and they fatigue quickly during high-speed testing. Summary of the Invention

By utilizing the high elasticity of metal, it is not necessary to use very high-grade metal to exhibit better elasticity than plastic, and there is more room for upgrade.
