Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing tool technology, and in particular to a rotatable testing connector. Background Technology
[0002] Connector bases for plug-in boards are commonly used to connect gold finger type circuit boards. Currently, after the gold finger circuit board is connected to the connector, it is placed flat on the table for testing. If the signal to be measured simultaneously is located on both sides of the circuit board, the signal point to be measured must first be clamped on side A of the circuit board with a test clip, and then flipped to side B of the circuit board to clamp the signal point to be measured with another set of test clips. At this time, the test clips are between the circuit board and the table. In addition, the components on the circuit board are of different heights, which can easily cause the circuit board to wobble during testing. At the same time, the test clips are prone to shifting and hitting components on the circuit board, or the test clips may become loose and fall off, resulting in inaccurate test results or short circuits or even burnout of the circuit board. To avoid the problem of inaccurate test results caused by the test clips wobble between the circuit board and the table, two people need to operate simultaneously: one person stands the board upright and fixes it, and the other person clamps the signal point for testing.
[0003] However, this type of test, which involves two people working together, still has the following problems: the test process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, the test is inflexible, the test efficiency is low, and it is difficult for a single person to complete the test quickly. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a rotatable test connector. By installing a damping hinge between a flat plate and a U-shaped plate, a person can rotate the U-shaped plate installed on one side of the top of the flat plate, causing the plug-in board connector body installed on the inner side of the top of the U-shaped plate to rotate a certain angle and stop. If it is necessary to measure the A and B sides of the gold finger circuit board body at the same time, first rotate the U-shaped plate to the A side of the circuit board and stop, then select the signal point and place the test clip. Then rotate it to the B side of the circuit board and stop, select the signal point and place the test clip. The damping hinge can flexibly adjust the angle, which is convenient for testing the corresponding signal points of the A and B sides of the circuit board. Moreover, a single person can complete the test, which improves the testing efficiency.

A U-shaped groove 7 is formed on the top surface of the mold plate 2. A mounting groove 8 is symmetrically formed on the opposite sides of the U-shaped plate 2 near the U-shaped groove 7. I-shaped mounting holes 9 are symmetrically formed on the outer surface of the U-shaped plate 2 on one side of each mounting groove 8. A clamping block 10 is mounted on the top of the I-shaped mounting hole 9. A U-shaped locking block 13 is fixedly set on one side of the bottom of the clamping block 10. A plug-in board connector body 11 is mounted and limited inside the U-shaped locking block 13.

The side surface of the plug-in board connector body 11 away from the pins is inside the U-shaped groove 7. Through the flat plate 1 and the U-shaped... A damping hinge is installed between the two plates. Personnel can rotate the U-shaped plate 2 installed on one side of the top of the flat plate 1, so that the plug-in board connector body 11 installed on the inner side of the top of the U-shaped plate 2 rotates a certain angle and stops.

A screw 15 is installed inside the through hole 14. A square limiting block 19 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the screw 15. A locking nut 16 is sleeved on the top of the screw 15, passing through the I-shaped mounting hole 9, the square sleeve 17, and the through hole 14 in sequence. A limiting spring 18 is sleeved on the surface of the screw 15 inside the square sleeve 17.
