Description

Method and device for testing of electronic components
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a method, a device and a circuit card for testing electronic components, such as IC- circuits and particularly surface mount components.
BACKGROUND ART
Electronic components, such as IC-circuits are at present tested electrically with the aid of specially designed contactor into which the IC-circuits are placed temporarily during the electric test without being soldered. The develop- ment of test basis for small quick-surface mounted components has not increased in keeping with the new requirements, resulting in a greater degree of uncertainty in testing the components . This leads to an unnecessarily large number of components being scrapped in the production line. When measuring dynamic parameters, for instance wuick function test, transit delays ? or high frequency oscillations, the true performance of the components is often negated by the mechanical construction of the test socket. Occurent devia¬ tions in the measuring results are most often due to stray capacitancies of the test socket in a measuring loop. The internal resistance and contact resistance of the test socket are also the result of incorrect measuring results when measuring static parameters.
US-patent 4 754 555 describes apparatus for inspecting the coplanarity of an IC-capsule. More specifically, the appara¬ tus is intended to ascertain that the legs of the IC-capsule have the same length. An IC-capsule is placed under pressure in a socket assembly included in the apparatus. The socket assembly includes resiliant devices which correspond to the legs of the IC-circuit and each of which is brought into contact with a leg when pressure is exerted on the IC- circuit, provided that the leg has sufficient length. The resilient device is in contact with a so-called PC-card that contains control logic. The apparatus indicates when contact is made between a leg and the PC-card. The apparatus is not used to electrically test the functions of the circuit. The apparatus is also relatively complicated and expensive due to its many components.
US-patent 4 866374 describes a so-called contactor assembly. This contactor is mounted on a circuit card and connects a surface mounted circuit device under test (DUT) with the circuit card. This assembly is also relatively complicated and expensive because of the number of components included.
Test sockets constructed similarly to the test socket shown in Figure 1 can be obtained at present from several different suppliers. The requisite contact pressure against conductors 1 on a component 2 is often achieved with the aid of spring segments 3 similar to those shown in Figure 1. The segments are punched, cut or etched from a resilient metal material, for instance phosphorus bronze, beryllium copper or some like material. In order to obtain an effective attachment and a suitable contact pressure, it is necessary for the construc¬ tion to be relatively extended geometrically. The segments are then placed adjacent one another at a spacing correspond- ing to the connections on the component. Because of the decreasing dimensions of such components, the segments are placed progressively closer together, resulting in the occurrence of undesirable stray capacitances between the conductors.
None of the aforesaid publications teach the testing of circuit components directly on a circuit card.
DE-C1-3 636 361 describes a device for testing the functions of surface mounted circuits directly on a circuit card. The device is intended for insertion into a heating cabinet and includes a circuit card, a receiving plate having recesses corresponding to the circuits, and a press plate having spring elements corresponding to the circuits. The card and the plates include appropriate guide and latching means for guiding and fastening the card and plates together. In testing the circuits, it is necessary to collect the circuits and place the same in the recesses, whereafter the circuit card, the circuit accommodating plate and the press plate are brought together, mutually aligned and locked together with the accommodating plate between the circuit card and the press plate, such that the circuits will be pressed against the circuit card by the spring elements. Although this device is constructionally simple and inexpensive, it nevertheless unnecessarily includes a large number of components. A test method that is applied outside a heating cabinet would also unnecessarily include a large number of method steps.
None of the known literature relevant to this art describes a circuit card that is especially designed for testing purposes and which obviates the need of a socket for the component to be tested. Neither is there described a method by which a component can be tested quickly and simply directly on a circuit card.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is to improve measurement accuracy in testing electronic components on a circuit card to be tested, in comparison with known techniques.
A further object is to provide an electronic component testing device which includes relatively few parts.
These object are achieved with a device which includes a component carrier which receives the component and holds said component against a circuit card to be tested, said card including a cavity underneath the contact conductors in the area where the component is held. A further object is to provide for the testing of electronic components a circuit card which does not require contact sockets.
This object is achieved with a test circuit card which includes a cavity underneath the contact conductors in an area where the conductors are to be held.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a test method for inspecting electronic components on a printed circuit card to be tested simply and quickly.
This object is achieved with a method in which a component is collected, passed to a printed circuit card for testing and held directly against the card during the test.
These and other objects of the invention and advantages afforded thereby will be apparent from the following descrip¬ tion of preferred embodiments of the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Figure 2 illustrates a first preferred embodiment of the invention for testing electronic components 2, preferably surface mount IC-components, comprising a carrier 4 and a circuit card 5 used in the test, i.e. a so-called printed circuit board (PCB) or mother board. The figure shows only that part of the mother board 5 where a component under test (DUT) 2 is to be placed. Conductors 6 are drawn on the mother board 5 (only parts of two conductors being shown) . these conductors 6 normally being comprised of a copper pattern on the mother board. A cavity 9 is disposed in the region on the mother board 5 where the component 2 is to be placed. The surface of the cavity 9 is configured in accordance with the component 2 to be tested, including its legs. That part of the conductor 6 to which the legs of the component 2 are to be connected extends over the edges of the cavity 9. A part of the circuit board material remains underneath the conduc¬ tor 6 to be contacted. In the case of the preferred embodi- ment, two pressure pads 7 are each placed along a respective opposing edge of the cavity 9, wherein each pad is placed between the bottom of the cavity 9 and a conductor 6.
The cavity 9 is provided in the mother board 5 to render the conductors 6 resilient. The pressure pads 7 may be made of rubber, plastic, insulated metal or the like, and function to enable the tension in the conductor 6 to be controlled, and can be omitted if desired.
The construction of the mother board 5 enables the component 2 to be placed directly on the mother board 5 when testing the component. In testing a component, the carrier 4 collects the component 2 from a component store (not shown) , moves the component 2 to the mother board 5 and holds the component pressed against the board 5 over the cavity 9, with the legs of the component 2 in direct contact with the conductors 6. This is possible by virtue of the resiliency of the conduc¬ tors 6.
The carrier 4 includes a cavity 11 which is adapted to the body of the component 2, and a circumferential part which lies in abutment with the legs of the component 2, such as to be able to press the component 2 against the mother board 5 with a uniform pressure.
The construction of the mother board 5 provides for greater measuring accuracy in testing a component 2 in comparison with tests carried out in a test socket. The problems encountered in a test socket with regard to stray capacitan- cies are avoided, and the number of electrical connections are fewer, which leads to fewer components being scrapped and in improved HF-properties when testing.
Figure 3 shows another embodiment of the device, in which the carrier 4 is provided with a suction cup 8 which functions to pick-up, move and hold the component. Naturally, the carrier 4 can be provided with some other form of device which will perform the same function, for instance a pneumat¬ ic device or some form of gripping device.
Figure 4 illustrates the second embodiment of the test assembly, in which the printed circuit board includes slots 10 across the cavity 9 on each side of each conductor 6, such that the conductors will be individually resilient.
Finally, Figure 5 illustrates a carrier 4 which is held over a part of the printed circuit board 5 where said board 5 is provided with several conductors on two sides of the cavity
9. The component 2 and its legs are also depicted in this figure, even though the legs are covered by the carrier 4.
Naturally, the board 5 may be constructed for circuits with legs on all four sides and the shape defined by the surface of the cavity 9 is dependent solely on the shape of the component 2.
The preferred embodiment includes a large cavity 9 having a surface which covers the whole of the component 2 to be tested. However, the cavity can be varied in several ways other than with regard to different types of components. For instance, an individual cavity may be provided for one leg underneath each conductor or for one group of legs underneath several mutually parallel conductors. An essential feature is that cavities are provided underneath each conductor for one leg of the component so as to afford the desired resil¬ iency.
The carrier is suitably mounted on a robot, preferably a pick and place robot, so as to enable the test procedure to be carried out quickly and effectively.
