What is a Spring Contact Test Probe?

Test probes - test pins - spring probes - pogo pins; these are all generic terms to describe a component whose spring loaded tip will provide a reliable electrical contact to a target whose distance away may well be indeterminate. The traditional use for them is to make contact with printed circuit boards (PCBs) or electrical components, in order to test functionality and to measure the value of the components. They are widely used in vacuum test fixtures associated with automatic test equipment (ATE). They are also used inside a functional test station as part of a larger production line.

The test probe is comprised of a metal tube, ready assembled with a spring and contact plunger, supplied as a one-piece item.

They are usually gold plated as gold is an excellent electrical conductor and is resistant to corrosion. The electrical cable is generally connected to a receptacle which the test probe inserts into. The use of a receptacle allows the test probe to be removed for cleaning or replacement without having to dissconnect the electrical cable (see illustration below).

Information

How to use General Purp

Product selection Once you have decided which series of general purpose test probe best suits your application, you will need to select a suitable tip style. The table below illustrates which of the tip styles is likely to be most effective in a particular situation.

Most of our series have a choice of spring pressure. A lighter spring is preferred in test applications where the test point is considered clean or uncontaminated.

The heavier spring will help the probe tip to penetrate better through any contamination. A lighter spring may have to be a consideration in test fixtures with large quantities of probes, or in situations where the density of probes is very high in a small area.

The receptacle is a type of socket that fits into the drilled hole in the probe plate or block. The test probe slips inside the receptacle allowing it to become a replaceable item as the electrical cable is connected to the tail of the receptacle. There are several versions of receptacle (see below) depending on your preferred choice of cable termination - providing it is available in the specific probe series.

pose Test Probes and Receptacles Fitment and usage Example fitment methods are shown for each series in the General Purpose Test Probe section starting overleaf. The receptacle is usually mounted into a probe plate. This plate can be made of resin-laminated fibreglass (types such as G10 or FR4), or plastic materials such as nylon, perspex or polycarbonate. The thickness should be such that it will support the total spring pressure of all probes without it bending significantly. For very large arrays of probes it may be necessary to put some support pillars underneath to minimise this problem. For general purpose test applications, an 8-10mm thickness of material is recommended.

Carbide drills are best suited for drilling holes for receptacles in the harder composite or fibre based materials. Commonly available high-speed drills (HSS) are suitable for plastics, such as peek, nylon or perspex. A few sizes of carbide drills have an option of longer flute length for thicker probe plate materials.

Note: Where two drilled hole sizes are shown, the larger hole is for harder materials such as FR4, G10 and Tufnell, and the smaller hole is for plastics.

How to fit a receptacle into a drilled hole in a general purpose test position TA5

1. Inserting the receptacle The receptacle may be flush mounted or set raised slightly above the probe. In most general purpose test situations the receptacle height is set to flush.

2. Using a receptacle insertion tool Receptacle insertion tools are required for inserting the receptacle’s press-ring into the hole without damaging it (see table above for tool selection). This is particularily important if you are using harder materials for the probe plate. Insert the pin of the tool into the receptacle and tap the insertion tool gently with a hammer, until the receptacle is set to the desired height. See box 2a for instructions using epoxy fitment.

The receptacle should slip down unassisted until the press-ring rests against the probe plate.

RA5S

Probe plate 8-10mm thickness

3. Inserting the probe Remove the tool and insert the probe rearwards and press home. The probe’s body is normally fully enclosed within the receptacle.

2a. Using epoxy It is perfectly acceptable to use the press-ring as a shoulder to stop the receptacle from pushing into the hole. However, you will have to bond the receptacle in place using a suitable epoxy.

We also offer receptacles with stop rings to allow flush mounting with epoxy.

Notes: If you wish to use a probe without a receptacle, then these should be bonded into the probe plate. A correctly sized hole will be required. You may need to experiment with this.

After care A regular maintenance programme for your probes will help you achieve the maximum probe performance and lifespan. The necessary frequency and method of the maintenance/cleaning programme depends on your production environment, the type of equipment and the probe series used.

Contamination left behind on the probe tip is the primary cause of probe contact problems. This is often caused by a bi-product of the soldering process of either soldering flux or a solder residue. Other local contaminants such as dust, fluff, oil and grime can cause more temporary problems.

How to use ATE Tes

Information

Product selection ATE probe tip selection There are three sizes of ATE test probes for the three standard test centre spacings (pitch) commonly used on printed circuit boards (PCBs). See previous page. Once you have selected the probe size which will best suit your application you will need to select suitable tip styles. The table below shows which of the tip styles is likely to be most effective for each particular test target.

Spring pressure Most series have a wide choice of spring pressure. A lighter spring is preferred in test applications where the test point is fairly clean or uncontaminated. The heavier and extra heavy springs will help the probe tip to penetrate better through any contamination. A lighter spring may have to be a consideration in test fixtures with large quantities of probes, or in situations where the density of probes is very high in a small area.

Be careful not to fit a probe spring force, which in total is more than the fixture Tip style

Application

Concave

• Clean leads, pins • Clean terminal pins

Spear or Point

• PCB lands • PCB pads

Serrated Head

Uses

PA4, LPA2, LPC1

Standard material, berylium copper, gold plated

Low volume production, traditional solder, slight surface contamination.

ST-PA4, ST-LPA2, ST-LPC1

Steel tipped plungers, gold plated

High volume production, for test targets which cause tipstyle wear, higher surface contamination from traditional or lead-free solders.

LF-PA4, LF-PA2, LF-LPC1

Up-rated, pre-loaded spring, hard wearing plated surface

High volume, surface contamination particular to many lead-free solders.

Plain Radius

• Gold edge fingers • Provides positive contact without leaving any marks or indentations • Also used for some connector applications

The receptacle is a type of socket that fits into the drilled hole in the probe plate. Its use allows the probe to be a replaceable item for easy maintenance, without having to disconnect the electrical cable. There are several versions of receptacle (see below) depending on your preferred choice of cable termination - providing it is available in the specific probe series.

st Probes and Receptacles Fitment and usage The receptacle is usually mounted into a probe plate. This plate can be made of resin-laminated fibreglass (types such as G10 or FR4), or plastic materials such as nylon, perspex or polycarbonate. Usually, the probe plate used is made from fibreglass. Tungsten carbide drill bits are required to drill holes in this material. The thickness of the probe plate should be such that it will support the total spring pressure of all probes without it bending significantly. For very large arrays of probes it may be necessary to put some support pillars underneath to minimise this problem. For general purpose test applications, an 8-10mm thickness of material is recommended.

How to fit a receptacle into a drilled hole in an ATE test fixture TA2A

TA3

1. Inserting the receptacle The receptacle may be flush mounted, or set raised slightly above the probe plate.

In most ATE situations the receptacle’s height is set raised. The receptacle should slip down unassisted until the press-ring rests against the Flush fitment tool probe plate.

2. Using a receptacle insertion tool Insert the pin of the tool into the receptacle (you will need to set the height required on the adjustable tool). Tap the end of the tool with several light taps until the receptacle is set to the required height. See the table above for tool selection.

3. Inserting the probe Remove the tool and insert the probe rearwards and press home with a probe insertion tool (see above). The probe’s body is normally fully enclosed within the receptacle.

Notes: To replace an existing receptacle, either broken or wrongly set, you can use our receptacle removal kits. See page 15.

After care A regular maintenance programme for your probes will help you achieve the maximum probe performance and lifespan. The necessary frequency and method of the maintenance/cleaning programme depends on your production environment, the type of equipment and the probe series used.

Contamination left behind on the probe tip is the primary cause of probe contact problems. This is often caused by a bi-product of the soldering process of either soldering flux or a solder residue. Other local contaminants such as dust, fluff, oil and grime can cause more temporary problems.

PA4, ST-PA4 & LF-PA4 Series

The PA4 series is the universal size for use at 2.54mm test centres in the majority of ATE test fixtures. It has a very wide range of tip styles for almost all test targets. Additionally, a wide choice of spring forces is available. The ST-PA4 series adds hardened steel tips which ensure an exceptional resistance to wear in high volume PCB test production runs. The LF-PA4 series has hardened tips, extra-resilient plated surfaces and an enhanced pre-loaded spring pressure, to enable good penetration of the tough residual contamination often found on the surface of many lead-free solders.

How to use insulated head probes

Component Lead Detection

It is often a requirement to provide a multi-purpose test onto a single component or connector lead. The probes will fit into standard ATE receptacles and require just one wire connection.

The insulated head probe will: • Presence test the pin to check it’s set to the correct height • Check whether the pin has passed through the hole • Instigate an electrical test to ensure that the pin is soldered properly to its pad, in combination with other probes in the test fixture • Fail any leads that have been bent over significantly.

Pass Marking Unit The BMP-1 test pass marking unit is intended for installation into test fixtures and production equipment. Upon receipt of test a pass signal it will rapidly scribe a permanent circular mark onto the unit under test removing the risk of human error. This compact unit requires a footprint of less than 15mm2 on the test board. The spring loaded carbide tip is long lasting and its hardness will mark bare fibreglass (FR4), solder mask over glass or copper, bare tinned copper, plastics and metal castings.

The unit is supplied with a mounting receptacle with knurled fitment, cables and a plug/socket kit allowing easy connection to the jig’s internal wiring. The scriber can easily be unscrewed from its receptacle so it can be transported for use in other positions. Extra receptacles, an insertion tool and tip replacement parts are available as spares and these are listed within the specifications.

Bench-top Test Jig

CMF series

Robust test jig using a cam-operated horizontal probe plate. Ideal for self customisation.

The CMF series uses fixed position push fingers and is designed to test low to medium density PCBs, such as those containing conventional and surface mount circuitry.

Typical examples of their usage are:

Robust handle to operate the cam system with an interlock

• Repair and calibration stations

Cam operation ensures a true linear motion of the top plate

• Low to medium volume testing of PCBs - such as power supplies and control boards • Single or double-sided PCB probing This series has a cam-operated G10 fibreglass push plate. When the lid is latched closed the handle will then push down the upper plate, with the provided pusher rods, ensuring a true linear downward motion onto the PCB. Test probes can be fitted into both the base pan’s probe plate and, to a limited extent, on the top plate allowing some double-sided probing. The optional stripper plate supports the PCB and protects the probe field.

Anti slam gas springs

Carry handle Probe plate locking screw

Sturdy framework keeps top plate stable

All sides and base plate will remove for customisation. 100mm deep pan supplied as standard

Robust handle and latch for the lid (space under lid when closed - 41mm)

High Current Test Probes

For load and functional testing of power components

This range of test probes can be used for load and functional testing of power components such as semi-conductors, solenoids, loaded PCBs, bus-bars, wound components and batteries. They share identical dimensions and will readily intermix with the PA3, PA4 and PA5 series general purpose test probes. In particular, the HD-PA4 series is physically interchangeable with the PA4 series used in standard ATE test fixtures.

For load and functional testing of power components such as bus-bars and batteries

Ultra High Current Test Probes

These series have an even higher current handling capacity than the other heavy duty (HD) ranges. By use of through-pin construction and a silver alloy contacting area, current flows of up to 400 amps can be passed. The probe bolts into the probe plate and will easily disassemble for cleaning. Uses for this range include load and functional testing of bus-bars and batteries.

Pneumatically Controlled Probing Pneumatic test probes provide an alternative to the use of conventional spring contact test probes to solve some problems in test fixture design. The major features of pneumatic probing systems are: • There is no need for a moving probe plate or push plate.

• The probes are held away from the test item until contact is required, which avoids damage and wear and tear on the probe tips. When the compressed air is switched on to the probe the tip moves into contact with the test pad.

The top of the PAO barrel is flared making its design different to many probes. This allows a high density of probes to be ‘pressed’ directly into the probe plate eliminating the need for a receptacle or gluing. This ‘press-fit’ feature also permits it to be installed in a variety of probe plate thicknesses. It can also be replaced relatively easily.

PM1 and PM2, non-replaceable micro test probes The non-replaceable micro test probes feature a collar at the top of the barrel, which is used as a stop in the fitment process. Due to the minute barrel diameters and thin walls, it is imperative that the drilled hole diameter and straightness are very accurate. We recommend that the pre-wired option is taken as connecting a cable to these probes is an extremely delicate operation.

Usually, multi-plate fixtures containing no less than 3 plates, are used to retain large multiples of probes.

Otherwise a block of stable material which will allow reliable drilled holes is to be recommended, with the microprobe fitted wire/tail first with tweezers, with a small amount of locking compound on the side to secure it, if required.

The PAO is available with or without 30” of 30 AWG insulated wire attached. It is installed into the probe plate with a probe insertion tool (part no. PITO) or a pair of tweezers. Shrink tubing can be used on alternate probes to provide strain relief in the termination and to reduce the possibility of electrical shorting.

To replace the probe, the wire is cut at the termination and the probe is then pushed out of the probe plate.

PM2’R’ and PM3’R’, micro test probe receptacles The receptacles of the replaceable micro test probes feature a collar at the top of the tube, which is used as a stop in the fitment process. Due to the minute tube diameters and thin walls, it is imperative that the drilled hole diameter and straightness are very accurate. It is recommended that the pre-wired option is taken - as connecting a cable to these receptacles is an extremely delicate operation.

Usually, multi-plate fixtures containing no less than 3 plates, are used to retain multiples of receptacles.

Otherwise a block of stable material which will allow reliable drilled holes is recommended, with the receptacle fitted wire/tail first with tweezers. A small amount of locking compound may be required on the barrel to secure it. Then the microprobe may be pushed into the receptacle, tail first, using the tweezers, making sure light pressure is put onto the probe’s collar, not onto the fragile plunger.

Test Jig Parts Pass Marking Unit

Example installation

The BMP-1 test pass marking unit is intended for installation into test fixtures and production equipment.

Upon receipt of a test pass signal it will rapidly scribe a permanent circular mark onto the unit under test removing the risk of human error. This compact unit requires a footprint of less than 15mm square on the test board. The spring loaded carbide tip is longlasting and its hardness will mark bare fibreglass (FR4), solder mask over glass or copper, bare tinned copper, plastics and metal castings.

Typically 1.30

1.7 - 2.0

Warning: Adequate thickness spacers MUST be used to limit board travel as shown.

Failure to use proper spacers will allow scriber to bottom out, stalling the motor and permanently damaging the marker.

Spacer Probe Plate

The unit is supplied with a mounting receptacle with knurled fitment, cables and a plug/socket kit allowing easy connection to the jig’s internal wiring. The scriber can easily be unscrewed from its receptacle so it can be transported for use in other positions. Extra receptacles, an insertion tool and tip replacement parts are available as spares and these are listed within the specifications.

The spring loaded contact consists of a gold plated tubular metal barrel, spring and plunger as a one piece assembly. The tip of the spring loaded plunger will provide a reliable electrical contact to the mating surface, whose distance away or position may well be indeterminate.

The tip of the plunger will usually be rounded in shape (radius) which will prevent damage or significant wear to the contact land.

Several fitment types are available including surface mount and press fitment. Some series of the press fitment type are available with a receptacle which allows the spring contact to be replaceable. One of our series of surface mount spring contacts can be supplied moulded in an array of up to 20 spring contacts.

Typically a mating contact land is used as the mating surface. These are available as press fitment or solder-in.
