Method used

A four-wire test ball needle needle structure is designed, including the needle shaft body and the contact head. The front end of the contact head is equipped with narrowing steps and beveled surfaces. The beveled surface is perpendicular to the narrowing steps, forming an oblique tip to adapt to the gold fingers in the connector.

Benefits of technology

Through the combination of the bevel surface and narrowing steps, the bevel tip of the head contact head of the needle shaft body is realized, which can stably extend into the connector and contact the gold finger, which improves adaptability and stability and enhances the reliability of the test.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of test probes, and particularly relates to a four-wire test ball needle head structure. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the connector resistance test, the four-wire method is generally adopted. Two probes are placed on both sides of the opening of the connector to form a 4-wire test loop. Among them, two probes are used to load current, and the other two probes are used to measure voltage. However, at present, the heads of the four-wire test probes are all conical structures. During the test, due to the small opening width of the connector, the juxtaposed probes cannot extend into the connector to touch the contact part with its gold fingers. Moreover, since the heads of the probes are arc-shaped, it will also lead to unstable contact and prone to problems such as sliding and offset, with poor stability and limitations in testing. Therefore, it is still necessary to adjust the structure of the existing PCB probes to make up for the aforementioned deficiencies. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a four-wire test ball needle head structure aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, and this four-wire test ball needle head structure can well solve the above problems.

The width of the narrowing step is smaller than the diameter of the needle shaft body; The front end face of the contact head is an inclined plane, and the included angle between the inclined plane and the needle shaft body is 40 degrees, and the inclined plane is perpendicular to the narrowing step.

[0006] In the four-wire test ball needle head structure of the utility model, chamfers are arranged on the left and right side walls at the front end of the contact head, and the length of the chamfer along the axis direction of the needle shaft body is less than half of the length of the inclined plane along the axis direction.

[0008] In the four-wire test ball needle head structure of the utility model, the upper end edge of the inclined plane is arched and its radian angle is 40 degrees.

[0009] The four-wire test ball needle needle head structure described in the utility model, wherein the structure also includes a ball head arranged at the tail of the needle shaft body, the center of the ball head is located on the axis of the needle shaft body, and the diameter of the ball head is larger than the diameter of the needle shaft body.

[0010] The four-wire test ball needle needle head structure described in the utility model has a length of the needle shaft body between 54.5-55.05 mm, a diameter of the needle shaft body between 0.19-0.21 mm, and a diameter of the ball head between 0.34-0.36 mm.

[0011] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that through the cooperation of the two narrowing steps and the inclined surface, the contact head on the head of the needle shaft body has an angled tip, so that the side wall of the contact head away from the inclined surface can be extended into the connector to contact its gold finger, and the inclined surface can achieve docking contact.
