Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing fixture technology, specifically to a static testing fixture for surface mount electronic components. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of surface mount technology (SMT), surface mount electronic components are constantly evolving towards miniaturization and high density. Small-package components have become mainstream, which poses a serious challenge to static testing technology.
[0003] Traditional testing fixtures employ a single-station mechanical probe contact method, which suffers from low testing efficiency, poor contact reliability, and insufficient positioning accuracy. Especially when testing miniaturized components, instability in contact resistance can cause fluctuations in test data, affecting test accuracy. Furthermore, existing fixture systems are ill-suited to the flexible production demands of diverse product types and small batches, and fixture replacement is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention provides a static testing fixture for surface mount electronic components, which achieves efficient and accurate testing of miniaturized components through innovative mechanical structure and electrical design.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a static testing fixture for surface mount electronic components, comprising: a test plate, wherein a test groove is provided on the top of the test plate and one end of the test groove extends outward from the test plate; a push plate, wherein the push plate is disposed within the test groove and a clamping mechanism is provided between the push plate and the test plate; an electrode strip is provided on the push plate corresponding to the interior of the test groove, and an independent electrode sheet is provided on the test groove corresponding to the push plate; a base electrode electrically connected to the electrode strip and a test electrode electrically connected to the independent electrode sheet are also provided on the top of the test plate; the base electrode is used to establish a reference potential, and the test electrode is used to detect component parameters.
[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the test groove is a sloping structure inclined towards the push plate.
[0007] Preferably, the test slot is provided with multiple positioning steps on the side opposite to the push plate, each positioning step forming a horizontal stepped structure, and each positioning step is provided with an independent electrode plate; multiple test electrodes are provided, and each is electrically connected to the corresponding independent electrode plate.
[0008] Preferably, the push plate is provided with a plurality of longitudinally penetrating grooves, each groove being perpendicular to the length direction of the test groove, and the push plate is engaged with the test plate by a pin penetrating the groove.
[0009] Preferably, the push plate has an inclined surface on the side away from the electrode strip, and the test plate has a channel parallel to the length direction of the test groove corresponding to the inclined surface area; the clamping mechanism includes a wedge-shaped slider adapted to the inclined surface and an eccentric wrench disposed outside the test plate, the end of the wedge-shaped slider is connected to a flexible shaft, the free end of the flexible shaft extends outward from the test plate through the channel and is connected to the rotating shaft inside the eccentric wrench.
[0010] Preferably, the wedge-shaped slider is provided with an armature, and the push plate is provided with a magnet corresponding to the armature; a spring is provided between the end of the wedge-shaped slider and the test groove.
[0011] The advantages of this invention are as follows: This static testing fixture for surface mount electronic components significantly improves the testing efficiency and reliability of miniaturized components through its innovative structural design and working principle. The test slot at the top of the test board extends outwards at one end, forming an open component placement area. The component under test is pressed and fixed within the test slot by a push plate, achieving rapid positioning without the need for the precise alignment operations of traditional fixtures. Electrode strips are integrated on the push plate and connected to the base electrodes on the test board, providing a stable reference potential for the component. Independent electrode plates are distributed within the test slot and connected to the test electrodes for detecting the component's electrical parameters, such as resistance, capacitance, and conductivity. The clamping mechanism ensures tight contact between the electrodes and the component leads, reducing contact resistance fluctuations. This effectively solves the pain points of traditional fixtures in the testing of micro-sized components, combining accuracy, efficiency, and flexibility, making it an ideal testing solution for the high-density trend of SMT (Surface Mount Technology). The inclined slope at the bottom of the test slot allows the component to automatically slide onto the positioning step when pressed by the push plate, reducing manual adjustment time. The push plate, through a floating design of grooves and pins, adapts to component height deviations during clamping, ensuring uniform force on the electrode contact surface. When the eccentric wrench rotates, it pulls the wedge-shaped slider along the inclined plane via a flexible shaft, converting horizontal thrust into vertical clamping force, achieving a lever-like force amplification effect. After releasing the wrench, a spring pushes the wedge-shaped slider back to its original position, the magnet attracts the armature, and the push plate automatically releases the component. In summary, this surface mount electronic component static testing fixture can cover multiple sizes, such as 0201 to 0805, with a single fixture. By selecting different positioning steps, it automatically matches the electrode spacing, resulting in near-zero changeover time. Simultaneously, it utilizes mechanical clamping to reduce fretting wear, controlling electrode contact resistance fluctuations within ±1%, making it suitable for testing micro-packages such as 01005. The inclined structure prevents component placement at an angle; the groove limit prevents overpressure damage to fragile components. Furthermore, the wedge-shaped slider uses a wear-resistant coating, and the flexible shaft drive reduces mechanical wear, resulting in an overall lifespan of over 100,000 cycles. The eccentric wrench enables quick clamping / releasing with one hand, with an operation time of less than 2 seconds. Therefore, this fixture is suitable for incoming material inspection or in-process sampling of micro-packages such as QFN and μBGA, and is compatible with both manual and automated equipment, facilitating small-batch rework.

Each positioning step 9 is equipped with an independent electrode piece 5. Multiple test electrodes 7 are provided, each electrically connected to its corresponding independent electrode piece 5. The multi-level horizontal positioning steps 9 on the sidewall of the test slot 2 can accommodate components of different sizes. Each step is equipped with an independent electrode piece 5, achieving simultaneous physical positioning and electrical contact through the height difference of the steps. Furthermore, the modular design of the push plate 3 and the test slot 2 allows for quick replacement of electrode strips 4 and independent electrode pieces 5 of different specifications, accommodating components of different package sizes.
[0022] The push plate 3 has multiple longitudinally penetrating grooves 10, each groove 10 being perpendicular to the length direction of the test groove 2.

Simultaneously, it utilizes mechanical clamping to reduce fretting wear, controlling electrode contact resistance fluctuations within ±1%, making it suitable for testing micro-packages such as 01005. The sloping structure prevents components from being placed at an angle; the slide groove 10 limits movement to prevent overpressure damage to fragile components. Furthermore, the wedge-shaped slider 13 uses a wear-resistant coating, and the flexible shaft 15 reduces mechanical wear, resulting in an overall lifespan of over 100,000 cycles.
