Abstract
A contactor for electronic parts can provide an appropriate and uniform contact with respect to a plurality of electrode terminals in an electronic part such as an IC. Each of a plurality of contact members has a first contact portion on one end thereof and a second contact portion on the other end thereof, the first contract portion having a recessed portion that receives one of the electrode terminals of the electronic part. A base accommodates and supports the plurality of the contact members. The first contact portion is movable in a horizontal direction.
Claims25
A contactor for electronic parts configured to make an electric connection to a plurality of electrode terminals of an electronic part, comprising:
- a plurality of contact members each having a first contact portion on one end thereof and a second contact portion on the other end thereof, the first contract portion having a recessed portion that receives one of the electrode terminals of said electronic part;
- and
- a base that accommodates and supports the plurality of the contact members,
- wherein said first contact portion is movable in a horizontal direction.
A contactor for electronic parts configured to make an electric connection to a plurality of electrode terminals provided on both main surfaces of an electronic part, comprising:
- a first contactor configured to make a contact with the electrode terminals provided on one of the main surfaces of said electronic part, the first contactor including:
- a plurality of first contact members each having a first contact portion on one end thereof and a second contact portion on the other end thereof, the first contract portion having a recessed portion that receives first one of the electrode terminals of said electronic part;
- and a first base that accommodates and supports the first contact members, wherein said first contact portion is movable in a horizontal direction;
- and
- a second contactor configured to make a contact with the electrode terminals provided on the other of the main surfaces of said electronic part, the second contactor including:
- a plurality of second contact members each having a third contact portion on one end thereof and a fourth contact portion on the other end thereof, the third contract portion having a recessed portion that receives second one of the electrode terminals of said electronic part;
- and a second base that accommodates and supports the second contact members, wherein said third contact portion is movable in a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction toward the second one of the electrode terminals of said electronic part.
A contact method of making electrical connection to a plurality of electrode terminals of an electronic part, comprising:
- pressing said electrode terminals against recessed portions in contact portions of contract members so as to move said contract portions by a component force of a pressing force generated by the pressing, the component force directed in a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction of the pressing force;
- and
- causing the electrode terminals to be received in the recessed portions with a center of each of the electrode terminals in a transverse direction being aligned with a center of a corresponding one of the recessed portions of said contact portions.
A contact method of making electrical connection to a plurality of electrode terminals of an electronic part, the electrode terminals provided on both main surfaces of said electronic part, the contact method comprising:
- pressing the electrode terminals provided on one of the main surfaces of said electronic part against first recessed portions in first contact portions of first contract members so as to move said contract portions by a component force of a pressing force generated by the pressing, the component force directed in a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction of the pressing force;
- causing the electrode terminals to be received in the first recessed portions with a center of each of the electrode terminals being aligned with a center of a corresponding one of the first recessed portions of said first contact portions;
- pressing the electrode terminals provided on the other of the main surfaces of said electronic part against second recessed portions in second contact portions of second contract members so as to move said second contract portions by a component force of a pressing force generated by the pressing, the component force directed in a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction of the pressing force;
- and
- causing the electrode terminals to be received in the second recessed portions with a center of each of the electrode terminals in a transverse direction being aligned with a center of a corresponding one of the second recessed portions of said second contact portions.
