[0048] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical terms and scientific terms) used in the description of this embodiment have the same meanings as commonly understood by ordinary technicians in the technical field to which this application belongs.

[0049] The existing reed switch relay is mainly composed of a reed switch (also called a magnetic reed switch), a winding frame, a coil, and a metal shielding shell. In order to meet the requirements of low leakage current in small signal testing, a metal tube needs to be put on the outside of the reed switch, and an insulating sleeve is used between the reed switch and the metal tube for insulation.

[0050] Reed switches are sensitive to temperature and humidity, especially in humid environments, which can easily reduce the insulation resistance of the reed contacts. Before being assembled into a reed relay, it is necessary to perform injection molding or glue filling between the reed switch and the metal tube. The insulation resistance of the reed relay is affected by the injection molding material and is limited to a few GΩ to a few hundred TΩ, which limits the insulation resistance of traditional reed switch relays to a few hundred TΩ, ultimately causing the leakage current of the reed switch relay to reach 100fA.

[0051] In view of the above problems, an embodiment of the utility model provides a low leakage current reed relay 100 that overcomes the above problems or at least partially solves the above problems, and can reduce the parasitic capacitance between the reed switch 11 and the metal tube 12, thereby shortening the stabilization time of small signal measurement, reducing the leakage current of the low leakage current reed relay 100, and optimizing the performance of the low leakage current reed relay 100.

[0052] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a low leakage current reed relay 100 according to an embodiment of the utility model, Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The schematic structural diagram of the reed switch assembly 10 is shown in FIG. Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A schematic structural diagram of the reed switch 11 is shown.

[0053] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the low leakage current reed relay 100 of the embodiment of the utility model includes at least one reed switch assembly 10, and any reed switch assembly 10 includes a reed switch 11, a metal tube 12, a first insulating layer (not shown) and a second insulating layer 13. Among them, the metal tube 12 defines a first installation cavity 121, and the reed switch 11 is suspended in the first installation cavity 121. The first insulating layer covers the outer surface of the reed switch 11. The second insulating layer 13 is arranged between the first insulating layer and the metal tube 12, and the second insulating layer 13 is a gas dielectric layer or a vacuum layer.

[0054] Here, it can be understood that there is no direct contact between the reed switch 11 and the metal tube 12, and the first insulating layer is provided on the outer surface of the reed switch 11 in a coating manner, which can insulate the outer surface of the reed switch 11 and prevent the external environment from affecting the reed switch 11. In addition, the first insulating layer occupies a smaller space in the first installation cavity 121, and the reed switch 11 can be suspended in the first installation cavity 121 of the metal tube 12. The second insulating layer 13 is a vacuum layer or a gas medium layer between the metal tube 12 and the reed switch 11. This is the result of evacuating the first installation cavity 121 or introducing a gas medium, which can improve the insulation between the metal tube 12 and the reed switch 11. The metal tube 12 serves as an equipotential discharge path for the reed switch 11, which can reduce the leakage current of the reed switch 11.

[0055] In this embodiment, since an insulating sleeve is not provided on the outside of the reed switch 11, and injection molding or glue pouring is not required between the reed switch 11 and the metal tube 12, the reed switch 11 can be suspended in the first installation cavity 121 of the metal tube 12. In this way, a vacuum environment or a gas medium environment can be formed between the reed switch 11 and the metal tube 12, which can reduce the parasitic capacitance value between the reed switch 11 and the metal tube 12, thereby shortening the stabilization time of small signal measurement.

[0056] The low leakage current reed relay 100 of the embodiment of the utility model can improve the insulation resistance of the reed switch 11 by covering the outer surface of the reed switch 11 with a first insulating layer, and arrange the reed switch 11 to be suspended in the first mounting cavity 121, optimize the fixing method of the reed switch 11 and the metal tube 12, thereby improving the insulation resistance of the reed switch 11, reducing the leakage current of the low leakage current reed relay 100, and reducing the parasitic capacitance value between the reed switch 11 and the metal tube 12, so that the stabilization time of the small signal measurement is shortened, thereby optimizing the performance of the low leakage current reed relay 100.

[0057] In this embodiment, the low leakage current reed relay 100 covers the outer surface of the reed switch 11 with a first insulating layer and sets a second insulating layer 13 between the first insulating layer and the metal tube 12, so that the insulation property of the relay contact of the reed switch 11 is greater than 10PΩ and the leakage current is less than 1fA. The low leakage current reed relay 100 can be used for ultra-high precision small signal measurement in the fields of semiconductor parameter testing, etc.

[0058] Figure 4 It is a schematic structural diagram of a fixing member 14 according to an embodiment of the utility model.

[0059] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, and see Figure 2 The reed switch includes a pair of reeds 111 and a corresponding pair of reed pins 112. The reed switch assembly 10 also includes two fixing members 14, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the metal tube 12 and enclosed with the metal tube 12 to form a first mounting cavity 121, and any reed pin 112 is passed through the fixing member 14. Any fixing member 14 is made of insulating material.

[0060] Here, any reed switch assembly 10 includes two fixing members 14, which are respectively connected to the two ends of the metal tube 12 to block the two ends of the metal tube 12, so that the interior of the first installation cavity 121 of the metal tube 12 is a closed environment, which can improve the stability of the reed switch assembly 10. Any fixing member 14 is made of insulating material, which can ensure the insulation between the reed switch 11 and the metal tube 12 and reduce the leakage current of the reed switch 11.

[0061] The reed switch 11 includes a pair of reeds 111 encapsulated inside the reed switch 11. The two reeds 111 can conduct electricity and conduct magnetism. When the reed switch is not subjected to the magnetic field, the two reeds 111 are separated. When the reed switch 11 is subjected to the magnetic field, the two reeds 111 are magnetized and attract each other to contact, so that a circuit is formed between the two reeds 111.

[0062] The reed pin 112 of the reed switch 11 is an interface connecting the reed 111 with an external circuit. When the two reeds 111 are attracted to each other by the magnetic field, the current flows through the two reed pins 112 to close the circuit. When the two reeds 111 are separated, the current cannot flow through the reed pins 112.

[0063] The reed 111 and the reed pin 112 in the low leakage current reed relay 100 work together to realize the on-off control of the circuit through the effect of the magnetic field, so that the low leakage current reed relay 100 has the advantages of no contact wear, high reliability, and long service life.

[0064] The two reed pins 112 of the reed switch 11 extend out from the corresponding fixing member 14 , so that the reed switch 11 can be suspended in the first installation cavity 121 , thereby improving the insulation of the reed switch 11 and effectively reducing the leakage current of the reed switch 11 .

[0065] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The fixing member 14 is connected to both ends of the metal tube, and the fixing member 14 includes a first portion 141 extending into the first installation cavity 121 and a second portion 142 abutting against the end of the metal tube 12, so that the first installation cavity 121 is closed. Here, the fixing member 14 is circular, and the diameter of the first portion 141 is smaller than the size of the second portion 142, so that the first portion 141 can extend into the first installation cavity 121, and the second portion 142 abuts against the end of the metal tube 12, so that the first installation cavity 121 is closed, effectively avoiding interference from external environmental factors, and improving the stability of the reed switch assembly 10.

[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The reed switch assembly 10 further includes two stoppers 15, any of which is located in the first mounting cavity 121, any of which is sleeved on the corresponding reed pin 112, and any of which is tightly arranged against the corresponding fixing member 14. Any of which is made of insulating material.

[0067] Here, the limiter 15 is an insulating member, and the limiter 15 can be used to avoid interfering with the current at the reed pin 112 or the magnetic field in the low leakage current reed relay 100. Each reed switch assembly 10 includes a reed switch 11, and each reed switch includes two reed pins 112, and two limiters 15 are respectively arranged on the two reed pins 112. The limiter 15 is located in the first installation cavity 121 and is tightly pressed against the fixing member 14. The limiter 15 limits the displacement of the reed switch 11 in the extension direction of the reed switch assembly 10, which can ensure the accurate positioning of the reed switch 11 in the metal tube 12, ensure the accuracy and stability of the installation process, and avoid quality problems or safety hazards of the low leakage current reed relay 100 due to improper placement or position displacement of the reed pin 112.

[0068] In some embodiments, the limit member 15 is connected to the reed pin 112 of the reed switch 11 by crimping. The limit member 15 is sleeved on the corresponding reed pin 112. The limit member 15 protrudes relative to the reed pin 112 and can abut against the fixing member 14, thereby limiting the displacement of the reed switch 11 in the metal tube 12 and ensuring the position accuracy of the reed switch 11 installed in the metal tube 12.

[0069] In some embodiments, the first insulating layer, any fixing member, and any limiting member are made of one of polytetrafluoroethylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, and polypropylene. These materials are polymer chains composed of a large number of repeated monomer units, have good insulation properties, can ensure the insulation performance of the low leakage current reed relay 100, and can be molded into various shapes under certain conditions, which is convenient for the production and assembly of the components of the low leakage current reed relay 100.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first insulating layer is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, which is also called Teflon. Teflon coating has high dielectric strength, low loss factor and high surface resistivity in a wide frequency range, and also has the advantages of low porosity, which can improve the impermeability and perform well in chemical environments. Teflon coating is applied on the reed switch 11, so that the performance of the reed switch 11 is greatly improved. The contact impedance of the reed switch 11 after spraying Teflon coating can reach more than 1PΩ, and can well avoid the influence of temperature and humidity environment and pollutants such as grease on the insulation impedance.

[0071] In some embodiments, the gas dielectric layer includes one of air, nitrogen, and sulfur hexafluoride, so that the second insulating layer 13 has better insulation when using the gas dielectric layer.

[0072] Figure 5 is a schematic side view of a low leakage current reed relay 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6 yes Figure 5 The schematic cross-sectional view of the low leakage current reed relay 100 along the section line AA is shown. Figure 7 yes Figure 5 A schematic structural diagram of the coil bobbin 20 is shown.

[0073] In some embodiments, Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, the low leakage current reed relay 100 also includes a coil skeleton 20 and a coil 30. The coil skeleton 20 has at least one second mounting cavity 21, and each reed switch assembly 10 is inserted into a second mounting cavity 21. The coil 30 is sleeved on the coil skeleton 20. Here, the coil skeleton 20 mainly plays the role of supporting and fixing the coil 30. The coil 30 is sleeved on the coil skeleton 20, which is conducive to ensuring the stability of the coil 30, so that the magnetic field generated by the coil 30 when working can effectively act on the reed switch assembly 10. In some embodiments, the coil skeleton 20 can also enhance the magnetic field strength of the coil 30, thereby improving the performance of the low leakage current reed relay 100.

[0074] In some embodiments, the low leakage current reed relay 100 further includes two injection molded parts 40, which are respectively mounted at both ends of the coil frame 20 to fix the reed switch assembly 10. Figure 7 The two ends of the coil frame 20 are provided with slots, and the injection molded part 40 is disposed on the slots of the coil frame 20 by injection molding. The two ends of the reed switch assembly 10 are respectively connected to an injection molded part 40, so that the reed switch assembly 10 is fixed in the coil frame 20.

[0075] In some embodiments, the low leakage current reed relay 100 includes two reed switch assemblies 10, which are respectively disposed in a second mounting cavity 21 and are respectively connected to the injection molded part 40 to be fixed in the coil frame 20. Here, the two reed switches 11 are spaced apart in the coil frame 20 to avoid interference between them.

[0076] In some embodiments, the low leakage current reed relay 100 further includes a heat sink 50 mounted on the coil 30, and the heat sink 50 is used to dissipate heat for the coil 30. Here, the main function of the coil 30 is to generate an electromagnetic effect, and the coil generates heat when it works. The heat sink 50 is disposed on the periphery of the coil skeleton 20 by injection molding, which can dissipate heat for the low leakage current reed relay 100, avoid the influence of excessive temperature on the performance of the low leakage current reed relay 100, thereby improving the practicality and durability of the low leakage current reed relay 100.

[0077] In some embodiments, the low leakage current reed relay 100 further includes a shielding member 60 sleeved on the outside of the heat sink 50 to shield the external environment from interference. Here, the shielding member 60 is a metal shell, which can well shield the interference of external environmental factors on the internal components of the reed switch 11 relay. Figure 1 In this embodiment, the shielding member 60 covers the front, rear and top surfaces of the heat dissipation member 50 .

[0078] In some embodiments, the metal tube 12 is made of brass. Brass has good corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity. The brass tube can become a good equipotential discharge path for the reed switch 11, thereby reducing the leakage current of the low leakage current reed relay 100.

[0079] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first insulating layer ranges from 0.2 to 1 mm, such as 0.2 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.8 mm, 1 mm, etc. The thickness of the second insulating layer 13 ranges from 0.6 to 2 mm, such as 0.6 mm, 0.8 mm, 1 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.4 mm, 1.6 mm, 1.8 mm, 2 mm, etc.

[0080] The first insulating layer can isolate the current of the reed switch to prevent safety problems such as leakage current and short circuit. The thickness of the first insulating layer plays a direct role in the insulation performance of the reed switch. If the thickness of the first insulating layer is too thin, the reed switch 11 may not be completely isolated, resulting in a loss of insulation effect, which means that the current may pass through the first insulating layer, causing damage to the reed switch 11 or causing safety problems.

[0081] Increasing the thickness of the first insulating layer can improve the insulation of the reed switch 11 to a certain extent. Because in the insulating material, the electric field strength is proportional to the potential difference, and the potential difference is the potential difference between charges. When the potential difference increases, if the thickness of the first insulating layer is insufficient, the reed switch 11 may experience electrical breakdown or breakdown discharge, causing the low leakage current reed relay 100 to fail to work normally, and even pose a threat to personal safety. Therefore, increasing the thickness of the first insulating layer can improve the insulation strength of the first insulating layer and enhance the ability to resist electric field strength. However, the thickness of the first insulating layer cannot be too large. If the first insulating layer is too thick, it will not only increase the cost and weight, but also affect the heat dissipation performance of the low leakage current reed relay 100.

[0082] Since the thickness of the first insulating layer is relatively small, the thickness of the second insulating layer 13 can be approximately regarded as the difference between the thickness of the first mounting cavity 121 and the diameter of the reed switch 11. The larger the difference, the thicker the second insulating layer 13 is, and the smaller the difference, the thinner the second insulating layer is.

[0083] In some embodiments, the assembly process of the low leakage current reed relay 100 is to first coat the outside of the reed switch 11 with a first insulating layer, then crimp the limiter 15 at the reed pins 112 at both ends of the reed switch 11, then sleeve the metal tube 12 outside the reed switch 11, and use the fixing member 14 to suspend the reed switch 11 from the metal tube 12, so as to assemble a reed switch assembly 10. The assembled reed switch assembly 10 is inserted into the coil frame 20 with the coil 30 wound around it, and then the injection molding 40 is arranged at both ends of the coil frame 20, and the injection molding 40 is used to fix the reed switch assembly 10 in the coil frame 20, and then the heat sink 50 for dissipating the heat of the coil 30 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the coil 30, and finally the shielding member 60 is put on to complete the assembly of the low leakage current reed relay 100.

[0084] The embodiment of the utility model further provides a semiconductor testing device, which includes at least one of the aforementioned low leakage current reed relays 100. The low leakage current reed relays 100 will not be described in detail here.

[0085] Exemplarily, the semiconductor test equipment includes a low leakage switch matrix, a high precision source meter, etc. Among them, any one or more of the low leakage switch matrix and the high precision source meter include at least one low leakage current reed relay 100 .

[0086] In summary, the low leakage current reed relay 100 in this embodiment can improve the insulation resistance of the reed switch 11, reduce the leakage current of the low leakage current reed relay 100, and reduce the parasitic capacitance between the reed switch 11 and the metal tube 12 by optimizing the setting method of the reed switch 11 and the metal tube 12, thereby shortening the stabilization time of the small signal measurement and optimizing the performance of the low leakage current reed relay 100.
