Abstract
An inspection socket configured to connect an electrode terminal of an object to be inspected and a wiring of a wiring board, includes: a metal block including a first surface to be opposed to the object to be inspected and a second surface to be opposed to the wiring board, and provided with a through hole connecting the first surface and the second surface in a first direction, an inner wall of the through hole having a part which is not rectilinear in the first direction; and a contact probe for grounding provided in the through hole, and being connected to the inner wall of the through hole, at least in vicinity of the part which is not rectilinear.
Claims8
An inspection socket configured to connect an electrode terminal of an object to be inspected and a wiring of a wiring board, the inspection socket comprising:
- a metal block including a first surface to be opposed to the object to be inspected and a second surface to be opposed to the wiring board, the metal block provided with a through hole connecting the first surface and the second surface in a first direction, an inner wall of the through hole having a part which is not rectilinear in the first direction;
- and
- a contact probe for grounding provided in the through hole, the contact probe for grounding being connected to the inner wall of the through hole, at least in vicinity of the part which is not rectilinear.
A method of producing an inspection socket, the method comprising:
- preparing a metal block having a first layer, a second layer and a third layer which is disposed between the first layer and the second layer, the first layer including a first hole, the second layer including a second hole, the third layer including a third hole, a through hole being defined by the first hole, the second hole and the third hole in a state where the first layer, the second layer and the third layer are superposed;
- inserting a contact probe for grounding into the through hole;
- and
- displacing the third layer so that the third hole is offset from at least one of the second hole and the first hole.
An inspection socket configured to connect an object to be inspected and a wiring board, the inspection socket comprising:
- a metal block including a first surface to be opposed to the object to be inspected and a second surface to be opposed to the wiring board, the metal block provided with a through hole connecting the first surface and the second surface, an inner wall of the through hole having:
- a first portion extending in a first direction;
- a second portion extending in a second direction different from the first direction;
- and
- a third portion connecting the first portion and the second portion;
- and
- a contact probe for grounding provided in the through hole, a part of the contact probe being in contact with the third portion.
