Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical testing technology, and in particular to an electrical testing fixture. Background Technology

[0002] Ion migration refers to the ionization of metals such as copper, silver, and tin on a circuit board under certain conditions, and their migration to another pole through the insulating layer under the action of an electric field, resulting in a decrease in insulation performance. Therefore, testing the ion migration status of a product under energized conditions confirms the product's reliability.

[0003] The common testing method involves soldering each pad of the product to be tested individually using numerous wires, and then connecting all the positive and negative terminals in parallel to form a single positive and negative connection for power supply. This method has the following significant drawbacks: it relies on manual soldering, which is inefficient; it requires various materials such as soldering irons, solder wires, flux, and wires; and the inconsistent quality of each solder joint can easily introduce interference, affecting the accuracy of the test results.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, Chinese invention patent application number 202010549507.8 proposes a batch multi-variety circuit board testing fixture. By fabricating a standard test probe combination that corresponds one-to-one with the test points on the circuit board, effective contact between the probes and the test pads is achieved, eliminating the steps of soldering and desoldering test leads. By designing and fabricating a probe combination fixing plate that matches the circuit board under test and the standard probe combination, the positioning and fixing of the test probes and the test pads of the circuit board under test are achieved.

[0005] However, this solution still has certain limitations: once the spacing between test points changes, the original fixing block needs to be disassembled and a new fixing block of a new specification needs to be installed, making the replacement process cumbersome. In addition, the entire assembly process involves the installation of multiple components such as support columns, fixing plates, and probes, which is time-consuming, and the multi-layered stacked tooling structure is prone to poor contact due to accumulated errors. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a power-on test fixture that can quickly complete the corresponding configuration when the spacing between test points changes, in light of the above-mentioned technical status.

[0015] Furthermore, the power-on test fixture also includes a positive wire and a negative wire; one end of the positive wire is electrically connected to the positive connection point of the power-on module, and the other end is used to connect to the positive terminal of an external or built-in power supply; one end of the negative wire is electrically connected to the negative connection point of the power-on module, and the other end is used to connect to the negative terminal of an external or built-in power supply.

[0016] To ensure that the pads of the circuit board under test are aligned with the test points when the board is placed above the power-on test fixture, preferably, the upper surface of the outer insulating layer is provided with a positioning structure for determining the placement position of the circuit board under test.

[0017] Furthermore, the positioning structure is a positioning protrusion formed on the upper surface of the outer insulating layer.

[0018] Preferably, the power-conducting module is a printed circuit board, and the circuit pattern on its surface constitutes the conductive circuit.

[0020] Preferably, the outer insulating layer is an ink layer printed on the power-conducting module.

[0021] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are that by setting up a power-conducting module and an elastic conductive component, manual soldering of wires is eliminated, enabling large-scale testing and significantly improving efficiency. When different spacing needs to be adjusted to suit different products, only the corresponding power-conducting module needs to be replaced. The elastic conductive component can be directly mounted on the test point surface of the power-conducting module using SMT technology, which is more efficient and faster than the previous installation method involving multiple components such as support columns, fixing plates, and probes.
