    • Integrated circuit (IC) packages mounted on a loaded printed circuit board (PCB) are tested by a translator module by first placing a corresponding module over each package. Each module has rows of spring contacts for releasably contacting corresponding electrical leads adjacent opposite sides of the IC package. An upper surface of the module has an array of electrically conductive test pads internally connected to corresponding contacts on the module. The test pads match an array of spring probes in the test unit. The module can be a molded plastic housing with metal leaf spring contacts, or it can comprise a composite flex-circuit material with individual contacts comprising flexible spring-like metalized plastic fingers. Contacts on the test module can releasably engage the leads on the IC package directly, or they can contact separate conductive leads on the PCB adjacent the leads on the IC package. During testing, the spring probes contact the test pads on the test modules and circuit continuity is established via the electrical connections from the spring probes through the modules to the leads adjacent the IC packages. The modules translate dense in-line spacing of leads adjacent the IC packages to the oversized in-line spacing of test pads on the module. In another embodiment, the translator module is attached to a flex-circuit cable coupled to the test system electronics. The translator module is manually placed over each IC package during testing. In a further embodiment, an integrated circuit package contains a built-in test verifier system so that standard test probes can be used to test the package without use of a separate translator module.
    • 安装在加载印刷电路板(PCB)上的集成电路(IC)封装由转换器模块测试,首先在每个封装上放置相应的模块。 每个模块具有一排弹簧触点,用于可释放地接触与IC封装相对侧相对应的电引线。 模块的上表面具有内部连接到模块上的相应触点的导电测试焊盘阵列。 测试垫与测试单元中的一组弹簧探针相匹配。 模块可以是具有金属板弹簧触点的模制塑料壳体,或者其可以包括具有包括柔性弹簧状金属化塑料指状物的单独触头的复合柔性电路材料。 测试模块上的触点可以直接可释放地接合IC封装上的引线,或者它们可以接触与IC封装上引线相邻的PCB上分开的导电引线。 在测试期间,弹簧探头接触测试模块上的测试焊盘,并通过从弹簧探头通过模块到邻近IC封装的引线的电气连接建立电路连续性。 这些模块将紧邻IC封装的引线的密集在线间距转换为模块上测试焊盘的过大的在线间距。 在另一个实施例中,翻译器模块连接到耦合到测试系统电子装置的柔性电路电缆。 翻译器模块在测试期间手动放置在每个IC封装上。 在另一实施例中,集成电路封装包含内置的测试验证器系统,使得可以使用标准测试探针来测试封装而不使用单独的转换器模块。

    • A test probe assembly includes a barrel having a hollow interior and a plunger which slides axially in the barrel. The plunger has an outer portion extending through an open end of the barrel, terminating in a contact tip outside the barrel for contact with a test point. In one embodiment, the plunger also has a hollow, elongated receptacle extending through the barrel. The receptacle has a geometric-shaped pilot hole, preferably square, spaced from the open end of the barrel. An elongated fixed guide member in the barrel extends through the pilot hole. The guide member extends through the interior of the barrel away from the pilot hole. The guide member has an outer surface of preferably square-shaped configuration engaging the pilot hole. A spring inside the barrel extends along the guide member and is biased against the internal end of the receptacle inside the barrel. Axial travel of the plunger into the barrel is against the bias of the spring. The square-shaped outer surface of the guide member, engaging the square pilot hole, controls rotational motion of the plunger as it travels along the guide member against the bias of the spring. In one embodiment, a helical configuration in the outer surface of the guide member engages the pilot hole so that axial travel of the receptacle causes the plunger to rotate about its axis, in order to provide good frictional contact between the plunger tip and the test point on a unit under test. In another embodiment, the cooperating square-shaped engaging portions of the guide member and the pilot hole provide controlled linear and non-rotational travel of the plunger relative to the barrel.

    • A breakaway switch probe comprises an outer barrel, a movable plunger in one end portion of the barrel, a terminal projecting from the other end of the barrel, and a breakaway clip mounted on the barrel and normally engaging a contact surface on the plunger for retaining the plunger in its at-rest position, substantially immovable in the barrel and out of contact with a switch point on the terminal. The plunger is normally retained in its at-rest position spaced from the switch point so that absence of contact between the plunger and the switch point produces an electrical open-circuit condition in electrical test circuitry connected to the probe. An external test force of less than the preset level applied to the plunger in opposition to the resistance force of the breakaway clip will not move the plunger from its at-rest position, thereby retaining the open-circuit test indication. The breakaway clip is movable away from its engagement with the contact surface of the plunger when the external test force applied to it exceeds the threshold level, and the movement of the breakaway clip away from the plunger contact surface releases the plunger for travel in the barrel toward and into contact with the switch point to produce a closed-circuit condition in the electrical test circuit connected to the switch probe.
