Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of avionics equipment testing, and in particular to a testing device for audio and video recorder power modules. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, after power modules are assembled, they must undergo testing and debugging. Input and output power and signals all require wires to be inserted into or soldered to corresponding solder holes on the printed circuit board (PCB) for testing. This process is cumbersome, prone to miscounting solder hole positions, and inefficient. Its drawbacks include: 1. Difficult to operate during testing and the risk of damaging solder holes on the PCB. Because wiring must be done in the solder holes specified in the documentation, using pins can lead to unreliable contact, while soldering is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient, and the solder holes are difficult to clean properly during subsequent wiring. Furthermore, miscounting pins is easy when inserting pins, and there is a possibility of damaging the solder holes. 2. Low efficiency. Testing requires wiring and removing wires, and some test points require shorting some test holes. Normally, testing each power module takes 7-10 minutes, and it takes even longer for debugging workers unfamiliar with the product and technical documentation. 3. Unreliable wire contact. When using wires for testing, the contact between pins in the solder holes is unstable, and they sometimes come out of the solder holes. Utility Model Content
