One end of the SMP connector 4 is welded to the high-frequency board 3, and the other end is connected to a coaxial cable.
[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 10 As shown, the housing 1 includes an outer shell 11 and a cover 12 that are snap-fitted together. They are mutually adapted and locked and fixed by a locking member 81. The cover 12, the high-frequency board 3, and the bottom wall of the outer shell 11 are provided with corresponding mounting holes. The locking member 81 sequentially passes through the mounting holes of the cover 12, the high-frequency board 3, and the bottom wall of the outer shell 11 and is fixed to fixedly connect the cover 12, the high-frequency board 3, and the outer shell 11. The top of the outer shell 11 is open, and sinking grooves 116 are provided on both sides of the opening. The corresponding sides of the cover 12 are disposed in the sinking grooves 116, and the surface of the cover 12 exposed outside is flush with the corresponding surface of the outer shell 11. In this embodiment, the housing 1 is generally in a cuboid shape, and the sinking grooves 116 are recessed downward from both short sides at the top of the outer shell 11; further, one end of the sinking groove 116 extends to one long side of the outer shell 11, and the other end is at a certain distance from the other long side of the outer shell 11. That is to say, the length of the sinking groove 116 is less than the length of the short side of the outer shell 11, and there is a part of the short side of the outer shell 11 that protrudes relative to the sinking groove 116. The cover 12 is provided with a notch 121 for avoiding this part. Thus arranged, at least part of the side surface and the lower surface of the cover 12 are in contact with the outer shell 11, and the outer surface of the housing 1 is relatively flat.

Similarly, the fixing plate 5 is also provided with mounting holes. The locking member 81 sequentially passes through the mounting holes of the cover 12, the fixing plate 5, the high-frequency board 3, and the bottom wall of the outer shell 11 and is fixed to fixedly connect the cover 12, the fixing plate 5, the high-frequency board 3, and the outer shell 11.
[0051] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 、 Figures 10 to 13 As shown, the coaxial spring pin module 2 is installed in the device through the first base 6. The bottom wall of the outer shell 11 is provided with a first hollow portion 111 communicating the inside and the outside of the housing 1. The radial outer contour of the first base 6 is adapted to the first hollow portion 111, and the first base 6 is disposed in the first hollow portion 111. Further, there is no fixed connection between the first base 6 and the first hollow portion 111. The first base 6 is inserted from the first hollow portion 111. After being in place, it can be helically fixed by passing a fastener through the first base 6, the high-frequency board 3, and the fixing plate 5 to position and contact the coaxial spring pin module 2 with the high-frequency board 3. When the coaxial spring pin module 2 needs to be replaced, the fastener is loosened to remove the first base 6 together with the coaxial spring pin module 2 disposed on the first base 6, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly. A strip groove 118 is further provided on the outer wall of the outer shell 11 for easy operation.

The needle tip 212 of the coaxial pin 21 contacts the pin of the chip, and the needle tail 213 contacts the high-frequency board. The connector 41 of the SMP connector 4 is welded to the high-frequency board 3, which can effectively support the transmission of high-frequency signals, and by optimizing the impedance matching, the influence of the low-frequency circuit on the signal transmission is reduced. This chip testing device simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces the line length and complexity, and greatly reduces the time for assembly and operation, thereby improving the production efficiency.
