It can be seen that the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are configured as a split pressing structure, which can be used in conjunction with an assembly line or automatic pressing equipment for automated pressing operations. The carrier module 24 is provided with a plurality of product placement slots, which can simultaneously test flexible flat cables of multiple acupoints, which is more efficient. In addition, the anti-overpressure buffer structure can greatly reduce the risk of product damage.
[0017] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper mold 1 includes an upper mold pressing plate 11, an upper mold fixed plate 12, an upper mold floating plate 13 and a pressing plate 14. The upper mold fixed plate 12 is connected to the lower end surface of the upper mold pressing plate 11, the upper mold floating plate 13 is floatingly connected to the lower end surface of the upper mold fixed plate 12, and the pressing plate 14 is connected to the lower end surface of the upper mold floating plate 13.
