[0003] Serial number 1 2 3 4 5 6 Definition Coupling (isolation) Ground Input (output) Output (input) / Isolation (coupling)

[0004] When the existing conventional technology tests a 10MHz - 600MHz high - performance small - size coupler, it usually directly welds a cable to the coupler for testing or directly welds it on the PCB pads for testing. This method is likely to damage the pads of the coupler, resulting in unreliable pad welding during use. Moreover, the welding is time - consuming and laborious, and the test efficiency is low. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to solve the above - mentioned technical problems, the utility model provides a test tooling for a 10MHz - 600MHz high - performance small - size coupler.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is a test tooling for a 10MHz - 600MHz high - performance small - size coupler, which includes a pressing arm, a PCB substrate, a base, and a column. The PCB substrate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base. The PCB substrate is provided with an RFin terminal, an RFout terminal, an isolation / coupling terminal, and a coupling / isolation terminal. The top of the PCB substrate is provided with pads for docking the coupler pins. The column is fixedly arranged on the base on one side of the PCB substrate. The pressing arm movably passes through a guiding frame arranged on the front side of the column and is located above the PCB substrate. A compression spring is sleeved on the upper part of the pressing arm. The lower end of the compression spring abuts against a limit pin, and the upper end abuts against the inner side of the top of the guiding frame. The limit pin is thread - connected to the pressing arm.

[0007] Preferably, a plurality of threaded holes for connecting the limit pins are arranged along the length direction of the pressing arm.

[0008] Preferably, the guiding frame is a front - end - opening structure and is formed by fixedly connecting four wall plates. A pressing block is arranged at the lower end of the pressing arm, and a pressing head made of hard plastic is arranged at the lower end of the pressing block.

[0009] Preferably, a damping rubber pad is arranged between the PCB substrate and the base.

[0010] Preferably, the column is an L - shaped structure, and a through - hole is arranged in the middle of the column.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: when using the test tooling for testing, the coupler is directly placed on the PCB substrate and fixed by pressing with the pressing arm, without the need for additional welding wires or connecting to the test equipment by welding on the pads, avoiding damage to the pads of the coupler and improving the test efficiency and test stability. At the same time, when using the test tooling for testing the electrical performance indicators, there is no need to weld the product pins during the debugging and testing process, avoiding secondary welding at the client side.

[0012] Among them, a plurality of threaded holes for connecting the limit pins are arranged along the length direction of the pressing arm, which can realize the adjustment of different pressures, meet the needs of different products and different product heights, have a wider application range and lower cost.
