Abstract
An emulator probe comprising a plurality of upper connectors fixed to the upper surface of a direction changing board, the upper connectors having terminals electrically connected to the terminals of a lower connector, the upper connectors being fixed to the upper surface with different fixing angles to each other, whereby an emulator can be mounted on a user target board without deforming an emulator cable.
Claims10
An emulator probe comprising:
- a user target board;
- an IC socket mounted on said user target board;
- a direction changing board having a lower surface and an upper surface;
- a lower connector fixed to the lower surface of said direction converting board, and having terminals, said lower connector being to be coupled to said IC socket;
- a plurality of upper connectors contacting the upper surface of said direction changing board, said upper connectors having terminals electrically connected to the terminals of said lower connector, said upper connectors being fixed to the upper surface with different orientation angles to each other;
- and
- a cable mounting board fixed to an end of an emulator cable and having a connector to be coupled to one of said upper connectors.
A direction changing board for coupling a board having an IC socket mounted thereto with a cable having a mounting board connector mounted to one end thereof, comprising:
- a first surface having a plurality of first connector terminals, said first connector terminals being connectable to said IC socket;
- and
- a second surface contacting a plurality of second connector terminals, each of said second connector terminals being connectable to said mounting board connector and disposed at an angle with respect to another of said second connector terminals.
