Patent number: 11169178Abstract: The present invention relates to a locking mechanism for a press head, and an electronic device testing apparatus comprising the same, wherein a slider and a locking pin are disposed on the press head and a test socket substrate, respectively. When the press head is moved and engaged with the test socket substrate, an actuator drives the slider to secure the locking pin, so as to secure the press head and the test socket substrate and prevent the press head and the test socket substrate from being separated from each other. The mechanism is simple in construction, easy to install and maintain, reliable, and can be integrated into the support arms, and occupies a relatively small space. Energy is consumed only when the actuator is actuated to effect locking or unlocking. That is, only when the slider is driven and moved, energy is consumed. No extra energy is needed to persistently press down or drive the locking mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2020Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: CHROMA ATE INC.Inventors: Chin-Yi Ouyang, Chien-Ming Chen, Bo-An Su, Yu-Hsuen Wang

Patent number: 7828577Abstract: A socket for electrically connecting an IC package to a printed circuit board, comprises an insulative housing, a stiffener surrounding the housing and having a front wall defining a hole; and a load plate pivotably mounted to the front wall of the stiffener. The load plate has a pivotal portion with a hook, the hook has a latching finger engaging with the latching hole of the stiffener, a protruding finger and a gap defined between the latching finger and the protruding finger. The protruding finger resists the stiffener when the load plate deflects on a top-to-bottom direction relative to the stiffener. The protruding finger also can engage with the stiffener to guide the load plate to rotate in a correct direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2009Date of Patent: November 9, 2010Assignee: Hon Hai Precision Ind. Co., Ltd.Inventor: Cheng-Chi Yeh
