Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, and in particular to a novel connector testing fixture. Background Technology
[0002] Connectors require performance testing during production, with electrical performance testing being a common method. However, actual testing revealed that some products exhibit terminal positional deviations. These deviations can cause misaligned insertion of the electrical test terminals in the testing fixture, hindering normal testing and significantly impacting testing efficiency. Furthermore, the diverse range of connector types, including those with a lug structure, necessitates testing of the male terminals. Conventional mating structures cannot guarantee stable mating connections.
[0003] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, it is necessary to design a new connector testing fixture to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a novel connector testing fixture.
[0005] To achieve the above and other related objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is: a novel connector testing fixture, comprising a testing module, wherein a slot is provided at the front end of the testing module, and an electrical testing terminal and a position detection plate are fixedly arranged in the slot from the inside to the outside; a locking mechanism is provided in each of the left and right side walls of the slot, and the two sets of locking mechanisms are adapted to lock the lug structures on the left and right sides of the connector housing under test; the testing module is also provided with an unlocking mechanism, which is adapted to simultaneously release the locking state of the two sets of locking mechanisms.
[0006] The preferred technical solution is as follows: the locking mechanism is composed of a hook and a reset elastic element. The left and right side walls of the slot are provided with mounting grooves. The hook is disposed in the mounting groove. The middle section of the hook is rotatably connected to the mounting groove. The hook part of the hook is correspondingly disposed with the groove opening of the slot. The reset elastic element is disposed in the mounting groove and configured to make the hook maintain an attitude with the hook part low and the base high.
[0007] The preferred technical solution is that the groove of the mounting slot is provided with a clearance notch corresponding to the lug structure on the housing of the connector to be tested.
[0008] The preferred technical solution is that the inner wall of the slot is provided with a foolproof groove arranged along the insertion direction, and the foolproof groove is matched with the foolproof protrusion on the housing of the connector to be tested.
[0009] The preferred technical solution is as follows: the unlocking mechanism is composed of a C-shaped plug, the two plug ends of the C-shaped plug are inserted into two through holes on the top side of the detection module, the two through holes are respectively connected to the two mounting slots, the two plug ends of the C-shaped plug are movably inserted into the two through holes and are correspondingly set with the top side of the base of the two hooks.
[0010] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0011] This utility model proposes a novel connector testing fixture. By setting a terminal position detection plate at the front end of the electrical test terminal, the position of the male terminal of the connector to be tested can be detected first, avoiding the insertion of products with unqualified terminal position into the electrical test terminal, which would cause damage to the electrical test terminal. In addition, this testing fixture is suitable for testing connectors with a hook structure, and its hook locking structure can ensure testing stability. Attached Figure Description
