[0002] In the electronics manufacturing industry, circuit board testing is a critical step in ensuring product quality and reliability. In particular, side-insertion testing of connectors on circuit boards is a crucial method for evaluating their performance and functionality. However, with the increasing complexity and diversity of circuit board designs, traditional testing methods are no longer sufficient to meet all circuit board testing requirements.
[0003] Specifically, traditional PCB test equipment primarily tests connectors on the front of the board. However, the testing process becomes particularly complex for boards designed with side-entry connectors, especially those with multi-directional side-entry connectors. These boards require side-entry testing on different sides to fully evaluate their performance.
[0004] Currently, to test multi-directional side-entry connectors, manufacturers often need to use multiple independent test devices, each testing different sides of the circuit board. While this approach can accomplish the testing task, it has several drawbacks. First, using multiple test devices not only increases testing time but also increases testing costs, as each device requires independent maintenance and management. Second, the use of multiple devices requires additional space, which is a challenge for production lines with limited space. Finally, the diversity and complexity of the test equipment increases the difficulty of operator training and management.

[0037] See attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 , the circuit board multi-directional side insertion test equipment includes:
[0038] The body 1 has a test port 110 formed on the side of the body 1;
[0039] A drawer module 2 movably mounted at the test port 110 , the drawer module 2 being used to place the circuit board 8 to be tested, and a first clearance port 210 being provided in the drawer module 2;
[0040] A lifting module 3 is provided in the machine body 1 and below the drawer module 2. A first side insertion module 4 is provided on the lifting module 3.

The first side insertion module 4 performs a side insertion test on the circuit board 8 to be tested.
[0041] The second side insertion module 5 at one end of the body 1 away from the test port 110 is used to perform a side insertion test on the circuit board 8 to be tested.
[0042] See attached Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 In the above embodiment, the body 1 is a closed structure as a whole. When the drawer module 2 is pulled out from the body 1, the circuit board 8 to be tested can be placed on the drawer module 2. When the drawer module 2 is pushed back into the body 1, the test process can be started. Among them, a control mechanism is provided below the drawer module 2 in the body 1 for realizing process control of the test equipment.
