Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of probe cards, in particular to a probe card with a buffer function. Background Art
[0002] A probe card with a buffering function is a semiconductor testing tool that is improved on the basis of the traditional probe card. In addition to its basic functions of ensuring that the signal of the test equipment can be transmitted to the chip test point and the chip feedback signal is transmitted back, it also adds a buffer structure to reduce the impact force during the contact between the probe and the chip and enhance the contact stability, thereby effectively protecting the chip and probe and improving test accuracy.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent publication number of CN221883727U, which discloses a vertical probe card with a buffering function. The patent relates to the technical field of vertical probe cards and includes a detection housing having a guide hole formed in its upper surface and a carrier plate fixedly connected to its upper surface. A chip placement slot is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the carrier plate. The utility model utilizes a compression column mounted inside the buffer housing, which, in conjunction with a buffer pad, buffers the vertical downward pressure applied to the detection housing during vertical probe testing. Simultaneously, pressure is applied to the columnar buffer, causing it to change shape and squeeze outward. The squeezed plastic buffer block engages a push rod, pushing the compression plate inward, thereby compressing the buffer spring and providing buffering. The semicircular buffer plate, spring buffer rod, rubber buffer plate, and plastic buffer cooperate to gradually buffer the pressure, thereby improving the buffering effect. However, in the prior art, different chips vary in size, and probe cards with a buffering function are not well adapted to all types of chips, thereby reducing work efficiency. Utility Model Content

A right-angle rod 8 is installed on the outside of the protective cover 7.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 The disassembly mechanism 2 includes a fixing ring 201, which is mounted on the middle part of the shell 1. The left and right ends of the fixing ring 201 are provided with through holes 202. The inside of the through hole 202 is rotatably connected to a mounting post 204. The upper and lower ends of the outer sides of the mounting post 204 are provided with threaded grooves 203.
