[0002] Intelligent power module (IPM) is an advanced power switching device with the advantages of high current density, low saturation voltage and high voltage resistance of GTR (high power transistor), and high input impedance, high switching frequency and low driving power of MOSFET (field effect transistor). In addition, IPM integrates logic, control, detection and protection circuits, which is easy to use. It not only reduces the volume and development time of the system, but also greatly enhances the reliability of the system. It adapts to the development direction of today's power devices - modularization, composite and power integrated circuits (PIC), and has been more and more widely used in the fields of microelectronics and optoelectronics. The test of IPM modules is usually carried out by the cooperation of Handler (processor, manager) and cylinder. Due to the different specifications of IPM modules, the claws adapted to Handler (processor, manager) are divided into different models. When the IPM module of different specifications is replaced after the test, the matching claws and cylinders need to be replaced, and the cylinder stroke is not adjustable. To a certain extent, the known test fixture is only for a certain IPM module, and cannot be applied between multiple different IPM modules, thereby reducing the overall test efficiency. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a semi-automatic test fixture suitable for IPM module testing to solve the above technical problems.
