[0021] The following is a further detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0022] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The figure shows a power semiconductor module 1 in the prior art, which includes three ceramic substrates 2 . Three PIN pins 3 arranged in a straight line are provided on each ceramic substrate 2 . The PIN pins 3 are needle-shaped terminals.

[0023] Figure 2 and Figure 3 Shown for testing Figure 1 The first embodiment of a simple insulation withstand voltage test device for a medium power semiconductor module 1 includes a power supply 4, a current detector 5, a metal plate 6, and an insulating plate 7. The power semiconductor module 1 is placed on the metal plate 6, on which the back of the ceramic substrate 2 is attached to the metal plate 6, the PIN pin 3 on the ceramic substrate 2 is vertically facing upward, the metal plate 6 is connected to the negative pole of the power supply 4, and the insulating plate 7 is provided with a plurality of contact pieces 8, a plurality of wires 9, and a plurality of switches 10 ( Figure 2 The switch 10 is not shown in the figure. The contact piece 8 is a tube reed piece, which is a metal piece with a single tubular end. The contact pieces 8 of the same group are integrally formed and directly connected. The number of contact pieces 8 and the number of PIN pins 3 are the same, one-to-one corresponding, and plugged and fixed. The plurality of wires 9 connect the plurality of contact pieces 8 in series and connect them to the positive pole of the power supply 4. The plurality of contact pieces 8 are divided into a plurality of groups according to the plurality of ceramic substrates 2 to which the corresponding plurality of PIN pins 3 belong. The plurality of switches 10 are sequentially arranged between the power supply 4 and the first group of contact pieces 8 and between two adjacent groups of contact pieces 8. The current detector 5 is connected to the power supply 4. Between the first group of contact pieces 8, several circuit boards 11 are also provided on the insulating plate 7. Several contact pieces 8, several wires 9 and several switches 10 are fixed to the same side of the insulating plate 7 through several circuit boards 11. Several circuit boards 11 are fixed to the surface of the insulating plate 7 by bolts 12. The ends of several contact pieces 8 pass through the insulating plate 7 and extend to the other side thereof. Among them, the insulating plate 7 is a transparent plate, such as an epoxy resin plate or an acrylic plate, which is convenient for observing whether the contact pieces 8 and the PIN needles 3 are all plugged in place. The power supply 4 is a voltage source that can provide an adjustable and stable voltage.

[0024] Example 1 In the Figure 1 When performing an insulation withstand voltage test on a medium-power semiconductor module 1, first start the power supply 4, turn on all switches 10, and observe whether current flows through the current detector 5. If no current flows, it indicates that the module insulation performance is good. If current flows, it indicates that there is an insulation defect in the module. Then, disconnect the switch 10 farthest from the power supply 4 to verify whether the insulation defect is on the last ceramic substrate 2. If current still flows, disconnect the switches 10 from farthest to closest to observe whether current flows.

[0025] above Figure 1The PIN pin 3 in the medium power semiconductor module 1 is a pin-shaped terminal, and the contact piece 8 in the first embodiment is a tube spring piece, and the two are adapted to each other. Figure 4 In the second embodiment shown, when the PIN needle 3 in the power semiconductor module 1 is a flat terminal, the contact piece 8 is a spring piece, which is a pair of metal pieces with arc-shaped ends and symmetrically abutting each other. The PIN needle 3 is inserted between the ends of the pair of metal pieces, and the contact pieces 8 in the same group are connected in sequence through wires 9.

[0026] In other embodiments of the present invention, when the ends of the PIN pins 3 in the power semiconductor module 1 are unevenly spaced, or when both pin-shaped and flat-shaped terminals coexist and are irregularly distributed, the extension length of the contact blades 8, the type of spring blades, and their distribution can be adaptively adjusted. If there are more than three ceramic substrates 2 in the power semiconductor module 1, and insulation withstand voltage testing may reveal poor insulation on two ceramic substrates 2 simultaneously, making it difficult to distinguish them, rewiring the target ceramic substrate 2 can be performed separately.

[0027] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable people familiar with this technology to understand the content of the present invention and implement it. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
