Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The current trend of overall consumer electronics is developing towards high intelligence, thinness and portability, and this development trend requires the PCB products in consumer electronics to be improved continuously. The PCB product with the largest proportion in mobile terminals is HDI board, and its proportion is more than 40%. At present, China vigorously promotes 5G mobile phones, computers and other consumer electronic products, and it can be predicted that the high-level HDI products will develop rapidly in the future, and the proportion will be improved continuously. The trend of higher integration, lighter and more space-saving of parts in mobile terminals will further promote the upgrading and development of HDI board and RF board. The PCB board will develop towards high density, high precision, fine aperture, fine wire, fine pitch, high reliability, multi-layer, high speed transmission, lightness and thinness, and the size will become thinner, smaller and more complex.
[0003] For a large-size PCB board, through the existing clamping plate device of the flying probe tester, during the test process, especially when the probe detects the middle part of the PCB board, due to the high acceleration and deceleration of the X-axis and the Y-axis, the whole machine equipment vibrates greatly, so that the PCB board fixed by the clamping plate device, especially the board with large and thin size, is more likely to vibrate in the front and back directions. This kind of unavoidable vibration can easily cause the test needle to be deviated, not to be in place, and the depth of the test needle to be too deep, especially after the surface of the PCB is treated with OSP, a thin layer of organic compound is formed on the surface of the copper, which is more likely to be damaged by the test needle during the test process, resulting in nickel leakage, deep needle printing and other defects.
