On the other hand, test sockets for top-window (OT) products that rely solely on the clamping force of the spring itself to hold the product pins have a relatively small clamping force, which is prone to unstable contact during testing. This makes it difficult to meet the requirements of stable electrical connection for high-current testing, thus affecting the accuracy and reliability of test results. Therefore, a DIP packaged OT test socket is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0026] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a DIP package OT test socket, including a pin clamping assembly 1. The pin clamping assembly 1 includes a base 11, a mounting groove 12, a clamping seat 13, a limiting slide bar 14, a limiting slide hole 15, a first spring 16, a second spring 17, a top cover 18, an inverted trapezoidal block 19, a clamping groove 20, and a spring clip clamping block 21.

[0029] A mounting groove 12 is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the base 11. Clamping seats 13 are slidably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the mounting groove 12. Limiting slide rods 14 are fixedly connected to the front and rear parts of the inner wall of the mounting groove 12. Limiting slide holes 15 are provided on the front and rear parts of one side of each clamping seat 13. The inner wall of the limiting slide hole 15 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the limiting slide rod 14. First springs 16 are sleeved on both sides of the outer wall of the limiting slide rod 14. The ends of the two first springs 16 that are far apart are respectively attached to the outer sides of the inner wall of the mounting groove 12 near the limiting slide rod 14. The ends of the two first springs 16 that are close together are respectively attached to the outer sides of the inner wall of the mounting groove 12 near the limiting slide rod 14. The upper surface of the base 11 is fixedly connected to the four corners of the upper surface of the base 11 by the second spring 17 via the outer side of the far side of the two clamping seats 13 near the limiting slide rod 14. The lower surface of the upper cover 18 is provided with inverted trapezoidal blocks 19 at the front and rear. The two sides of the inverted trapezoidal blocks 19 are slidably connected to the near side of the two clamping seats 13 respectively. The middle of the near side of the two clamping seats 13 is provided with clamping grooves 20. The inner sidewalls of the two clamping grooves 20 are fixedly connected to the far side of the two clamping grooves 20. The clamping blocks 21 slide along the limiting slide rod 14 through the limiting slide hole 15 on the clamping seat 13, thereby increasing the stability of the movement of the clamping seat 13.

[0030] In one embodiment, specifically: a mounting hole 22 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the mounting groove 12, a connecting seat 23 is installed on the inner side wall of the mounting hole 22, multiple spring pins 24 penetrate through both sides of the upper surface of the connecting seat 23, a product test seat 26 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting seat 23 by screws 25, multiple pin slots 27 are provided on both sides of the product test seat 26, and a first clamping spring 28 and a second clamping spring 29 are respectively provided on the top two sides of the spring pins 24. Both are located inside the pin slot 27. The first clamping spring 28 and the spring clamping block 21 are attached to each other on their adjacent sides. The side of the second clamping spring 29 away from the first clamping spring 28 is attached to the inner side wall of the pin slot 27 away from the spring clamping block 21. The pin slot 27 limits the first clamping spring 28 and the second clamping spring 29, thereby preventing the first clamping spring 28 and the second clamping spring 29 from shifting, so that the first clamping spring 28 and the second clamping spring 29 can accurately clamp the product pin 37.

[0031] In one embodiment, specifically: the upper surface of the base 11 has limit holes 30 on both the front and rear sides, and the upper cover 18 has limit blocks 31 fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides. The outer side wall of the limit block 31 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the limit hole 30. By sliding the limit block 31 on the upper cover 18 inside the limit hole 30, the stability of the upper cover 18 moving up and down is increased.

[0032] In one embodiment, specifically: a limiting rod 32 is fixedly connected to the upper part of both sides of the inner sidewall of the limiting hole 30, and a strip-shaped limiting groove 33 is provided on one side of the limiting block 31. The inner sidewall of the strip-shaped limiting groove 33 is slidably connected to the outer sidewall of the limiting rod 32. By sliding along the limiting rod 32 through the strip-shaped limiting groove 33 on the limiting block 31, the limiting block 31 is limited, preventing the limiting block 31 from slipping out of the limiting hole 30.

[0033] In one embodiment, specifically: a third spring 34 is fixedly connected to the center of the opposite side of each of the two clamping seats 13, and the opposite ends of the two third springs 34 are respectively fixedly connected to the center of the inner sidewall of the mounting groove 12. The rebound force of the third springs 34 facilitates the reset of the clamping seats 13.

[0034] In one embodiment, specifically: a test groove 35 is provided on the upper surface of the product test holder 26, and the product to be tested 36 is attached to the inner side wall of the test groove 35. Multiple product pins 37 are provided on both sides of the product to be tested 36. The two sides of the product pins 37 are respectively attached to the adjacent side of the first clamping spring 28 and the second clamping spring 29. By inserting the product pins 37 between the first clamping spring 28 and the second clamping spring 29, it is convenient to clamp the product pins 37.

[0035] In one embodiment, specifically: the lower surface of the connector 23 is fixedly connected with positioning pins 38 at both the front and rear. By inserting the positioning pins 38 into the corresponding positioning holes, the accuracy of the test seat installation position is ensured.

[0036] In one embodiment, specifically: threaded holes 39 are provided at the four corners of the lower surface of the base 11, and mounting screws 40 are connected to the internal threads of the threaded holes 39, so that the base 11 can be installed and fixed by means of the mounting screws 40.

[0037] In operation, this invention works as follows: First, using the threaded holes 39 at the four corners of the lower surface of the base 11 and the mounting screws 40, the entire test seat is securely installed in the designated position of the testing equipment. Simultaneously, the positioning pins 38 on the lower surface of the connecting seat 23 can be inserted into the corresponding positioning holes, further ensuring the accuracy of the test seat's installation position and laying the foundation for subsequent precise testing. When the upper cover 18 is pressed down, the second spring 17 contracts under pressure, and the upper cover 18 moves smoothly downwards along the guide structure formed by the limiting insert 31 and the limiting insert hole 30. The inverted trapezoidal block 19 on the lower surface of the upper cover 18 descends along with the upper cover 18. Due to the special shape of the inverted trapezoidal block 19, during its descent, it pushes the two clamping seats 13 away from each other. As the clamping seat 13 slides, the limiting sliding hole 15 on one side slides along the limiting sliding rod 14, ensuring the smoothness of the movement of the clamping seat 13. During this process, the clamping seat 13 compresses the first spring 16 and the third spring 34, putting them in a compressed state. As the clamping seat 13 moves outward, the spring clip holding block 21 on the inner side of the clamping seat 13 also moves outward. The spring clip holding block 21 no longer applies inward pressure to the first clamping spring clip 28, and the first clamping spring clip 28 and the second clamping spring clip 29 separate, making enough insertion space in the pin slot 27 for placing the product pin 37 of the product under test 36. Through automated equipment or manual operation, the product under test 36 is accurately placed in the product testing area. Within the test slot 35 of seat 26, the product pins 37 on both sides of the product under test 36 are precisely aligned with the pin slot 27, and the product pins 37 are inserted between the first clamping spring 28 and the second clamping spring 29 in the pin slot 27. After the product pins 37 are inserted into place, the pressure on the upper cover 18 is released. At this time, under the elastic force of the second spring 17, the upper cover 18 rises upward. As the upper cover 18 rises, the pushing force of the inverted trapezoidal block 19 on the clamping seat 13 disappears. Under the elastic force of the compressed first spring 16 and the third spring 34, the two clamping seats 13 slide inward, and the spring clamping block 21 on the inner side of the clamping seat 13 moves inward accordingly, reapplying pressure to the first clamping spring 28, so that the first clamping spring 28... The first clamping spring 28 and the second clamping spring 29 firmly clamp the product pin 37, achieving a stable clamping of the product pin 37 and establishing a stable electrical connection. At this point, the test socket has completed the fixation of the product under test 36, and various performance tests can be performed, such as electrical performance and functional tests, to ensure that the quality of the DIP packaged chip meets the standards. After the test is completed, the top cover 18 is pressed down again, and the action of opening the test socket is repeated, so that the first clamping spring 28 and the second clamping spring 29 release the product pin 37. Then, the tested product under test 36 is removed from the test slot 35 by automated equipment or manual means, completing a complete test process and preparing for the next DIP packaged chip test.

[0038] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these should all be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
