[0022] Circuit board 10, tooling connector 20, conductive rubber strip 30, pad point 40, limiter 50, rotating buckle 60. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more comprehensively below with reference to the relevant drawings.

[0024] This application proposes a replaceable connector fixture for testing the reliability of the camera module. Figure 1, including: a circuit board 10, a tooling connector 20, a conductive rubber strip 30 and a pad point 40. The circuit board 10 is provided with a pad point 40, a tooling connector 20 and a conductive rubber strip 30, the conductive rubber strip 30 is arranged above the pad point 40, the conductive rubber strip 30 is electrically connected to the tooling connector 20 through the pad point 40 and the circuit board 10, one end of the connector is electrically connected to the conductive rubber strip 30, and the other end is electrically connected to the camera module. When the connector is scrapped after being plugged in and out of the tested camera module, there is no need to scrap the entire test fixture, and only the connector on the conductive rubber strip 30 needs to be replaced, which is convenient and quick, avoids material waste, and reduces the cost of testing and the management cost of scrapped materials.

[0025] It should be noted that a test circuit is provided inside the circuit board 10, and the pad point 40 is electrically connected to the test circuit inside the circuit board 10. The tooling connector 20 is used to connect external test equipment and provide electrical signals for control and testing. The external electrical signal passes through the tooling connector 20, the circuit on the circuit board 10, the pad point 40, the conductive adhesive strip 30 and the connector in sequence, and is finally transmitted to the camera module for performance testing. The connection end between the camera module and the connector can be a ZIF structure or a BTB structure.

[0026] In one embodiment, there are many soldering parts on the circuit board 10, and the weight it bears is large. The circuit board 10 is a PCB with sufficient hardness to avoid the circuit board 10 not having a certain degree of support, which makes it difficult to solder on the circuit board 10 and fix the parts on the circuit board 10. In another embodiment, the circuit board 10 is provided with a first limiting groove at the installation position of the conductive rubber strip 30 to limit the conductive rubber strip 30, and the depth of the first limiting groove is consistent with the height of the conductive rubber strip 30. When the connector is fixed on the conductive rubber strip 30, the structure is compact, space-saving, and easy to carry. For further information, please refer to Figure 1 The circuit board 10 is provided with a limiter 50 for limiting the camera module so that the camera module is limited in the limiter 50 to prevent the camera module from damaging components on the circuit board 10. Furthermore, a metal pin is provided at the connection end of the tooling connector 20 to directly connect with an external test device, and the disassembly and connection are performed by plugging and unplugging, thereby improving the connection efficiency.

[0027] In one embodiment, a power switch is provided on the circuit board 10 to control the on and off of the current on the circuit board 10, so as to avoid the fixture from being plugged into the camera module when it is powered on, and to prevent the signal interface from not corresponding one to one, resulting in a short circuit of the module, damage caused by a large current, or the camera module is removed when it is powered on, causing the electrical sequence of the upper and lower parts of the camera module to be disordered and damage the camera module. Furthermore, the circuit board 10 also includes a power indicator light, so that the staff can intuitively observe whether the circuit board 10 is powered on, and then judge whether the next operation can be performed and facilitate troubleshooting of faults that occur during the test. Preferably, the power indicator light is an LED light.

[0028] Also, see Figure 1 The circuit board 10 also includes a pair of rotating buckles 60, one end of the pair of rotating buckles 60 is rotatably arranged on both sides of the conductive rubber strip 30, and the connector is connected to the conductive rubber strip 30. Metal ears are arranged on both sides of the connector. The two rotating buckles 60 rotate to the metal ears, press the metal ears, fix the connector, and prevent poor contact between the two.

[0029] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
