[0033] Further, the right needle arm (2) is connected by a needle tip part (21), a main body part (22) and an energy release buffer part (23), one end of the energy release buffer part (23) of the right needle arm (2) is connected to the main body part (22) of the right needle arm (2), and the other end is connected to the needle base (3) as the first end of the right needle arm (2).
[0034] The needle tip part is a long conical chamfer part, which plays a guiding role and facilitates smooth guidance into the PCB hole position during use of the PIN needle.
[0035] Further, the needle tip part (11) of the left needle arm (1) and the needle tip part (12) of the right needle arm (2) are both semi-cylindrical table types.
[0036] When the left needle arm (1) and the right needle arm (2) are in a closed state, the needle tip part (12) of the left needle arm (1) and the needle tip part (22) of the right needle arm (2) form a cylindrical table type.
[0037] Further, the main body part of the left needle arm (1) and the main body part of the right needle arm are both semi-cylindrical.

[0039] The main body part connects the semi-cylindrical table type needle tip part and the energy release buffer part, and when used, the semi-cylindrical main body part of the left needle arm (1) and the right needle arm combines to form a complete cylinder, which is used for conducting current or signals.
