Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of test sockets, and more particularly to a test socket compatible with solder-attached chips. Background Technology
[0002] In chip testing and packaging laboratories, for small-batch chip testing, due to the variety of chip sizes, such as some chips with solder balls and some without, the thickness of the test cavity required for the chip test socket is not suitable. The pressure head of the conventional test socket is an integrated structure. For multi-item testing, multiple special pressure heads need to be customized, resulting in a huge waste of costs. Utility Model Content

The pull rod is used to press the pressure frame.
[0014] Preferably, the pressure frame includes an upper frame and a lower frame, which are locked together. The outer dimensions of the upper frame are smaller than those of the lower frame. The lower frame is plate-shaped, and the annular pull rod surrounds the upper frame and is located above the lower frame. When the limiting protrusion engages with the limiting hole, the pull rod limits the lower frame to the pressure plate. More preferably, the pull rod is used to press the lower frame tightly.

[0028] Two first pressure strips 15 are provided between the lower end face of the pressure plate 5 and the upper end face of the test base body 1. They are fixed to the lower end face of both sides of the pressure plate 5 by bolts 13, and the two first pressure strips 15 abut against the upper end face of the test base body 1. When the height of the pressure head 4 needs to be adjusted, small pressure strips of different thicknesses can be replaced.
[0029] A second pressure strip 16 is provided between the lower end face of the pressure plate 5 and the upper end face of the test base body 1. The second pressure strip 16 is fastened to the lower end face of the pressure plate 5 by bolts 13. A gap is left between the second pressure strip 16 and the test base body 1. A heating rod and a temperature sensor are installed inside the pressure head 4. The free end of the heating rod wire passes through the gap and is pressed into the gap to prevent the heating rod wire from breaking due to being dragged back and forth.
[0030] The pressure plate 5 has small elastic buckles 18 rotatably mounted on its front and rear sides. Each small elastic buckle 18 includes an integrally formed vertical plate 18a and a horizontal plate 18b arranged in an L-shape.

More preferably, the pull rod 28 is used to press the lower frame 19b tightly.
[0033] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0034] During testing, the chip to be tested is installed in the test socket body 1, located between the pressure head 4 and the needle plate body 2. The probe on the needle plate body 2 is used to test the chip. When testing a chip with solder balls, the test space between the pressure head 4 and the needle plate body 2 needs to be higher because the chip has solder balls. Loosen the bolts 13 of the first locking hole 11, the waist hole 10, and the second locking hole 12, and adjust the pressure frame 8 so that the first protrusion 7a on the flange 6 and the second protrusion 9a on the pressure frame 8 correspond vertically. At this time, the pressure head 4 is raised, and then the bolts 13 are tightened. At the same time, a thicker first pressure strip 15 can be replaced to raise the height of the high pressure plate 5, which can also increase the height of the test space. Conversely, when testing chips without solder balls, the height of the test space can be reduced by shifting the pressure frame 8 so that the first protrusion 7a on the flange 6 corresponds to the second recess 9b on the pressure frame 8, and the corresponding first recess 7b on the flange 6 corresponds to the second protrusion 9a on the pressure frame 8; the first pressure strip 15 can also be replaced with a thinner one to reduce the height of the pressure plate 5.
[0035] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it. They cannot be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
