Detailed Implementation

[0019] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the following description is provided in conjunction with embodiments and appendices. Figure 1-5 The present invention will be further described below. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0020] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on the other component or indirectly on that other component.

[0021] When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or indirectly connected to that other component.

[0022] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0023] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0024] In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise expressly and specifically defined.

[0025] See Figure 1-5 A continuity testing fixture for an FPC circuit includes a fixture base 1, a flexible printed circuit board 2, and a copper plate 3. The upper surface of the fixture base 1 has a recessed receiving groove 11, and a magnetic reinforcing strip 4 for reinforcement is embedded at the bottom of the receiving groove 11. The lower surface of the copper plate 3 has several evenly distributed grooves 31, and a magnet 5 is disposed within each groove 31. The copper plate 3 is embedded within the receiving groove 11. The flexible printed circuit board 2 has multiple test terminals 21 and is adsorbed onto the upper surface of the copper plate 3. A conductive cloth 6 is also provided on the upper surface of the copper plate 3, located on one side of the flexible printed circuit board 2. The test terminals 21 are nickel sheets.

[0026] The FPC circuit electrical testing continuity fixture of this embodiment can solve various defects of the nickel sheet that are easily caused during FPC testing, while enhancing the compatibility of testing different products, providing stronger contact stability and higher accuracy. It also eliminates a descent step during testing, saving time and reducing maintenance costs. Specifically, by embedding a high-temperature resistant magnet 5 on the back of the highly conductive copper plate 3, it is easier to attract the flexible printed circuit board 2. Since there is a height difference (contact gap) between the flexible printed circuit board 2 and the nickel sheet, the conductive cloth 6 added to one side of the flexible printed circuit board 2 can increase the contact area, eliminate impedance, and improve testing accuracy. Controlling the thickness of the conductive cloth 6 to less than 0.05mm ensures minimal impedance, allowing the nickel sheet of the flexible printed circuit board 2 to efficiently conduct the circuit and collect line resistance.

[0027] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the fixture base 1 is also provided with a plurality of first insertion positions 12. The first insertion positions 12 are located at the edge of the groove of the receiving groove 11. The first insertion positions 12 facilitate the assembly or disassembly of the fixture base 1 and the copper plate 3.

[0028] In this embodiment, the lower end face of the fixture base 1 is also provided with a set of second insert positions 13, which are located at both ends of the fixture base 1, making it convenient for the fixture to be moved or fixed.

[0029] In this embodiment, the magnetic reinforcing strip 4 is attached to the upper and lower surfaces of the fixture base 1, and the bottom of the magnetic reinforcing strip 4 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed positioning holes 41; the copper plate 3 is provided with fixing holes 32 corresponding to the positions of the positioning holes 41.

[0030] In this embodiment, the positioning hole 41 provided at the bottom of the magnetic reinforcing strip 4 facilitates the mounting of the fixture on the worktable of the testing equipment. At the same time, combined with the fixing hole 32 on the copper plate 3, the fixture can be well fixed on the worktable of the testing equipment, which increases the stability during the testing process and further improves the testing accuracy.

[0031] In this embodiment, a main connector 22 is provided on the flexible printed circuit board 2, and the main connector 22 is located at the end of the flexible printed circuit board 2.

[0032] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
