DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0016] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present application and implement it, but the embodiments are not limiting to the present application.
[0017] As shown in Figure 1 and 5 , the present application provides a semi-hole pad PCB probe block, comprising: a fixed shell 600, a plurality of parallel arranged cavities 601 are arranged in the fixed shell 600, a first PCB board 200 and a second PCB board 300 are alternately inserted into the cavities 601; As shown in Figure 2 and 3 , a plurality of first semi-hole pads 201 are arranged on the edge of the first PCB board 200 on one side in the first direction A at equal intervals along the second direction B, a first FPC flat cable pad 202 is arranged on the opposite side of the first PCB board 200 in the first direction A, the first semi-hole pads 201 are connected through the first PCB copper foil 203 and the first FPC flat cable pad 202, and a plurality of PCB positioning holes 204 are arranged on the first PCB board 200; As shown in Figure 4 , the second PCB board 300 is arranged in an alternating and stacked manner with the first PCB board 200 in the cavities 601, a plurality of second semi-hole pads 301 are arranged on one side edge of the second PCB board 300, the first semi-hole pads 201 and the second semi-hole pads 301 are staggered with each other in the third direction C; the second PCB board 300 is provided with a second FPC flat cable pad, and the second semi-hole pads 301 are connected with the second FPC flat cable pad through a second PCB copper foil; Multiple probe kits 100 are disposed on a first half-hole pad 201 or a second half-hole pad 301. Each probe kit 100 includes a probe 101 and a sleeve 102. The tail of the sleeve 102 is inserted into the first half-hole pad 201 or the second half-hole pad 301 from the side and welded in place. The probe 101 is telescopically installed inside the sleeve 102, and the two are elastically connected. like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the sleeve 102 in the probe kit 100 is laterally inserted into the first half-hole pad 201 on the first PCB board 200 and the second half-hole pad 301 on the second PCB board 300. The height after soldering is reduced, thus allowing for a smaller spacing between the first PCB board 200 and the second PCB board 300, enabling a high-density arrangement of the probe kit 100. The sleeve 102 in the probe kit 100 can be batch-soldered with the first half-hole pad 201 on the first PCB board 200 and the second half-hole pad 301 on the second PCB board 300 via soldering. The FPC flexible flat cable 400 can also be batch-soldered with the FPC flat cable pad 202 on the first PCB board 200 via soldering, thereby improving production efficiency.
[0018] The FPC flexible flat cable 400 is soldered to the first FPC flat cable pad 202 of the first PCB board 200 or the second FPC flat cable pad of the second PCB board 300. Since the impedance of the signals inside the first PCB board 200, the second PCB board 300 and the FPC flexible flat cable 400 is controllable, high-speed signals can be reliably transmitted in the probe block.
[0019] like Figure 5 and 6 As shown, the top of the fixed housing 600 has multiple housing positioning holes 602, and the first PCB board and the second PCB board are provided with PCB positioning holes 204. Positioning screws are inserted into the housing positioning holes 602 and PCB positioning holes 204 to fix the first PCB board 200 and the second PCB board 300 into the fixed housing 600, and then locked by locking nuts.
[0020] like Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a probe panel 700, which is embedded in the end face of the fixed housing 600. The probe panel 700 has probe holes 701 corresponding to the first half-hole pad 201 and the second half-hole pad 301. The probe panel 700 has a plurality of probe holes 701 arranged in a regular pattern, and the probes 101 in the probe kit 100 pass through the probe holes 701 to achieve external connection.
[0021] In this embodiment, the probe panel 700 and the fixed housing 600 are connected by a detachable structure.
[0022] Furthermore, the first FPC cable pad 202 is located on the opposite edge of the first PCB board 200 away from the first half-hole pad 201, and the second FPC cable pad 202 of the second PCB board 300 is located on its opposite edge away from the second half-hole pad 301.
[0023] In this embodiment, the assembly gap between the first PCB board 200, the second PCB board 300, and the fixed housing 600 is filled with colloid 800. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the colloid 800 is made of plastic injection molding and fixes the FPC flexible flat cable 400, the first PCB board 200, the second PCB board 300 and the fixed housing 600, so that the components form an integrated structure, suppressing the change in contact resistance caused by vibration. At the same time, the colloid 800 wraps the solder joints to play an insulating and shielding role, reducing electromagnetic radiation interference.
[0024] This invention combines a stacked PCB structure with half-hole pad lateral soldering technology to make the impedance of signals inside the first PCB board 200, the second PCB board 300, and the FPC flexible cable 400 controllable, thereby ensuring reliable transmission of high-speed signals in the probe block. Its specific working principle is as follows: The test signal is transmitted from the FPC flexible flat cable 400 through the first FPC flat cable pad 202 and the second FPC flat cable pad, through the first PCB copper foil 203 and the second PCB copper foil to the first half-hole pad 201 and the second half-hole pad 301, and then through the soldering probe sleeve 102 to the retractable probe 101. Finally, the probe 101 contacts the object under test to complete the electrical connection. The return signal is transmitted in the opposite direction along the same path to form a complete test loop.
[0025] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
