Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic packaging, in particular to a device and method for controlling the perpendicularity between micro spring plates. BACKGROUND

[0002] The spring contact of the micro spring solder column has better impact resistance, vibration resistance, flexibility and other characteristics, especially the ability to resist large deformation in the Z direction, which provides better flexibility for interlayer spring contact array interconnection in high temperature and harsh environments, and is increasingly concerned by high reliability packaging. However, the micro spring itself is small in quality and poor in stability, and is easily offset by external force, so it is more difficult to achieve micro spring vertical interconnection than solder column. Especially when CCGA uses micro spring pins for interconnection, the number of micro spring arrays is large, and the clamping and welding process of the micro spring conversion tooling is poor in controllability, which leads to problems such as micro spring offset, poor coplanarity and large inclination, and further leads to poor solder joint reliability due to the deviation of micro spring pins of CCGA devices from the pads during assembly with the PCB. Therefore, the micro spring assembly precision control technology is extremely important.

[0003] A Chinese patent (publication number: CN114698265A) discloses a method and device for controlling the perpendicularity between micro spring plates. The patent fixes a PCB on which solder is applied and micro springs are placed; compresses all micro springs at the same time and then re-solders them to the PCB; fixes another PCB on which solder is applied, flips the PCB on which the micro springs are soldered, and makes the micro springs align with the solder points of the other PCB and move downward, so that the micro springs are compressed and then re-soldered to the PCB. However, the patent ignores factors such as micro spring tolerance, guide column tolerance, micro spring inclination and poor micro spring stiffness, which leads to problems such as micro spring offset and micro spring position not being well solved.
