[0004] In order to avoid repeated soldering during chip testing, the general test method needs to design a test seat according to the packaging type of the chip, install the test seat on a test PCB circuit board for testing, and each test circuit board can arrange dozens or even hundreds of test seats. The array of the top pin under the test seat is matched with the packaging type of the chip. The pins of the chip introduce signals into the test circuit by means of the gold-plated elastic test probe installed in the test seat, so as to realize the input and output functions of the chip. The packaging form of the pins of the chip is divided into direct insertion pin type, horizontal pin type and surface mount type. For different packaging types, the positioning, contact and fixing mode of the pins of the chip in the test seat in the test scheme are different. The direct insertion pin relies on the horizontal clamping force of the test probe spring part of the test seat to be fixed and contacted, see Figure 10 and 11 ; the horizontal pin type and the surface mount pin rely on the vertical pressure of the test seat clamping mechanism to be fixed and contacted with the test probe, see Figure 12 .
[0005] Among them, the original installation scheme of the direct insertion multi-pin type: the test seat is provided with a guide hole and a probe insertion hole for installing the test probe. During testing, the test probe with different width and height is introduced into the insertion hole at the bottom of the test seat through the guide hole of the test seat, and is connected with the signal insertion hole of the PCB circuit board.

With the rapid development of the chip packaging technology, the timely responsiveness requirement of the chip reliability test is higher and higher. The integral test socket with long cycle and high manufacturing cost has many disadvantages in the test technology. For the manufacturing mold of the integral test socket, due to the complexity of the test socket cavity, the existing mold design and manufacturing technology also becomes a restricting factor for the development of the integral test socket.
