[0010] A guide slope inclined from the outside to the inside is provided on the surface of each top block away from the fixture plate, and the inner pressing surface is located in the relatively outer area of ​​the inner end of the pin slope, which allows a single chip to be easily placed along the guide slope in the product placement cavity formed by the inner pressing surfaces of the four groups of top blocks;

[0024] A single IC package chip electroplating fixture, see Figure 1 , which includes a fixture plate 10, and a plurality of sets of fixture positioning mechanisms 20;

[0025] Each set of fixture positioning mechanism 20 includes four sets of telescopic top block structures 30, each set of telescopic top block structures 30 includes a top block 1, at least one set of linear springs 2, and a fixed block 3, the four sets of top blocks 1 are arranged in pairs to form four discontinuous sides of a quadrilateral, and the central area of ​​the four sets of top blocks 1 is a product placement cavity 5, and the product placement cavity 5 is used to place a single IC chip 40;

[0026] The fixture plate 10 is arranged vertically, and a plurality of sets of fixture positioning mechanisms 20 are arranged in an array on the front end surface of the fixture plate 10 .

[0027] In specific implementation: each top block 1 includes an inner pressing surface 101 and an outer driving surface 102, wherein the inner pressing surface 101 is used to press the corresponding side pins 41 of a single IC chip 40;

[0028] The front surface of each top block 1 is provided with a guiding inclined surface 103 inclined from the outside to the inside, and the inner pressing surface 101 is located at the relatively outer area of ​​the inner end of the pin inclined surface 103, which allows a single IC chip 40 to be easily placed along the guiding inclined surface 103 in the product placement cavity 5 formed by the inner pressing surfaces 101 of the four groups of top blocks 1;

[0029] The inner pressing surface 101 of each top block 1 is provided with a top pin 4 at a position corresponding to the side pin 41 of a single IC chip 40, and the top pin 4 is mounted on the side pin 41 to ensure stable and reliable pressing;

[0030] The four fixed blocks 3 of each set of fixture positioning mechanism 30 are respectively fixed to the front elevation of the fixture plate 10 by fasteners and arranged in the outer area of ​​the corresponding top block 1. Two sets of linear springs 2 are arranged between the fixed blocks 3 and the top block 1. One end of each set of linear springs 2 is also sleeved on the outer convex shaft. The outer driving surface 102 of the top block is convex to form an outer convex shaft (not shown in the figure). The linear springs 2 drive the top block 1 to press inward for operation.

[0031] A clamping space 11 is reserved in the upper area of ​​the jig plate 10 , so that the jig plate 10 can be reliably connected to the cathode steel belt 50 .

[0032] During specific implementation, the entire fixture is made of 316 stainless steel (conductive and corrosion-resistant).

Since each jig positioning mechanism is composed of four top blocks and their corresponding linear springs and fixed blocks, the four top blocks can adjust the expansion and contraction amount according to the size of the product. Each top block is tightly connected to the side pins on the four sides of the chip through a linear spring to achieve the conductive effect of fixing the product. At the same time, one side of the entire jig plate is clamped on the cathode steel belt, with the chip's colloid facing inward and the pins facing inward. Under the transmission of the cathode steel belt, the entire jig plate and the corresponding several IC chips are driven for subsequent electroplating operations, which solves the electroplating problem of the cut single chip, ensures the plating quality of the single chip after re-electroplating, and improves the product yield. The electroplating jig corresponding to the single IC chip can share the same electroplating equipment with the entire product to achieve the purpose of electroplating a single product.
