Conductivity Test Jig With Push-Out Member
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional conductivity test jigs burden terminals and conductivity pins, leading to potential deformation and poor workability due to the method of inserting and removing connectors, which affects the reliability and efficiency of conductivity testing.
Innovation Solution
A conductivity test jig with a holding member, a conductivity test unit, a driving source, and a push-out member, where the conductivity test unit contacts and removes the connector without burdening the terminal, and a second driving source moves the push-out member to facilitate easy attachment and detachment of the connector.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the connector is pushed into the hole to make the terminal contact the conductivity pin, then the conductivity test can be performed, but the terminal and conductivity pin are burdened and may be deformed or damaged
Solution Approach 1:
A push-out member is introduced as an intermediary component between the connector and the jig main body. This push-out member bears the pushing force when the connector is inserted, preventing direct contact between the connector terminal and the conductivity pin during the insertion process. The push-out member acts as a mediator that protects the terminal and conductivity pin from burden while still enabling the conductivity test to be performed.
2Reliability
If the connector is pushed into the hole, then the conductivity test can be performed, but the workability is poor due to difficulty in attachment and detachment
Solution Approach 1:
The push-out member serves as a mediator that facilitates easy attachment and detachment of the connector. When the connector needs to be removed, the push-out member can be pushed to protrude from the hole, thereby pushing the connector out. This intermediary mechanism eliminates the need for complex manual manipulation to detach the connector, significantly improving workability while maintaining test reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The push-out member is designed to be movable between a retracted state (when not in use) and a protruded state (when needed for detachment). This dynamic capability allows the system to adapt between different operational modes: normal testing mode where the push-out member is retracted, and detachment mode where it protrudes to facilitate easy removal of the connector.
3Productivity
If a conventional conductivity test jig is used, then the conductivity test can be performed, but the terminal and conductivity pin may be deformed or damaged due to the pushing mechanism
Solution Approach 1:
The push-out member is introduced as a protective intermediary that prevents direct mechanical contact between the connector terminal and the conductivity pin during insertion. By bearing the insertion force, the push-out member protects the terminal and conductivity pin from deformation or damage, thereby maintaining the reliability of these components while preserving the productivity of the conductivity testing process.

AI summary
The conductivity test jig includes: a jig main body; a holding member; a conductivity test unit; a conductivity member; an air cylinder; a jig main body; and a second air cylinder. The jig main body has a hole for receiving the connector. The holding member holds the connector in the hole. The conductivity test unit is detachably attached to the connector. When the conductivity test unit moves close to the connector, the conductivity member is electrically connected to the terminals of the connector. The air cylinder makes the conductivity test unit contact the connector, and removes the conductivity test unit from the connector. The push-out member is interposed between the connector and the jig main body in an insertion direction of the connector in the hole. The second air cylinder moves the push-out member in the insertion direction.
