Vertical probe pin and a probe card having same

1. A probe pin used in a probe card, which comprises the probe pin sequentially coupled to an upper plate comprising an upper guide hole and a lower plate comprising a lower guide hole, the probe pin comprising:

an elastic beam part which is disposed between a lower contact part in contact with a device to be tested, and an upper contact part spaced apart at a predetermined distance from the lower contact part and in contact with a test device, and is composed of a pair of elastic beams separated from one another by a predetermined gap in order to be elastically deformed by an external force; and

a separation prevention protrusion part comprising separation prevention protrusions protruding from at least one of the pair of elastic beams in order to prevent the elastic beam part from being separated through an upper guide hole of an upper plate,

wherein the elastic beam part is formed so that in the case of being inserted through the upper guide hole, a gap of separation between the pair of elastic beams is reduced by being elastically deformed by a force generated by contact between the separation prevention protrusions and the upper guide hole, and in the state of being inserted and coupled through the upper guide hole, a distance between the pair of elastic beams, including the separation prevention protrusions, is greater than a diameter of the upper guide hole.

2. The probe pin of claim 1 , wherein the elastic beam part comprises:

a first elastic beam comprising one end connected to one side of the upper contact part and an other end connected to one side of the lower contact part;

a second elastic beam disposed apart at a predetermined distance from the first elastic beam and comprising one end connected to an other side of the upper contact part and an other end connected to an other side of the lower contact part; and

an elastic gap formed in a space separated between the first elastic beam and the second elastic beam.

3. The probe pin of claim 2 , wherein the separation prevention protrusions comprise:

a first separation prevention protrusion protruding in a horizontal direction from an outside of the first elastic beam; and

a second separation prevention protrusion protruding in an opposite direction to the first separation prevention protrusion while protruding from an outer side of the second elastic beam.

4. The probe pin of claim 3 , wherein the first separation prevention protrusion and the second separation prevention protrusion are formed at positions facing each other.

5. The probe pin of claim 1 , wherein an expansion part having a width larger than a diameter of a lower guide hole of a lower plate is provided at a portion connected to the elastic beam part and the lower contact part, and the expansion part prevents the probe pin from falling through the lower guide hole in the case that the elastic beam part is damaged.

6. A probe card comprising:

a lower plate having a lower guide hole;

an upper plate having an upper guide hole that is installed apart from the lower plate and corresponds to the lower guide hole;

a probe pin comprising:

an elastic beam part which is disposed between a lower contact part in contact with a device to be tested and an upper contact part spaced apart at a predetermined distance from the lower contact part and in contact with a test device, and is composed of a pair of elastic beams separated from one another by a predetermined gap in order to be elastically deformed by an external force; and

a separation prevention protrusion part comprising separation prevention protrusions protruding from at least one of the pair of elastic beams in order to prevent the elastic beam part from being separated through the upper guide hole, wherein

when the elastic beam part is inserted through the upper guide hole, a gap of separation between the pair of elastic beams is reduced by being elastically deformed by a force generated by contact between the separation prevention protrusions and the upper guide hole, and in the state of being inserted and coupled through the upper guide hole, a distance between the pair of elastic beams, including the separation prevention protrusions, is formed to be greater than a diameter of the upper guide hole.

7. The probe card of claim 6 , wherein the elastic beam part comprises:

a first elastic beam comprising one end connected to one side of the upper contact part and an other end connected to one side of the lower contact part;

a second elastic beam disposed apart at a predetermined distance from the first elastic beam and comprising one end connected to an other side of the upper contact part and an other end connected to an other side of the lower contact part; and

an elastic gap formed in a space separated between the first elastic beam and the second elastic beam.

8. The probe card of claim 7 , the separation prevention protrusions comprise:

a first separation prevention protrusion protruding in a horizontal direction from an outer side of the first elastic beam; and

a second elastic beam protruding in an opposite direction to the first separation prevention protrusion while protruding from an outer side of the second elastic beam.

9. The probe card of claim 8 , wherein the first separation prevention protrusion and the second separation prevention protrusion are formed at positions facing each other.

10. The probe card of claim 6 , wherein an expansion part having a larger width than a diameter of the lower guide hole is provided at a portion connected to the elastic beam part and the lower contact part, and the expansion part prevents the probe pin from falling through the lower guide hole in the case that the elastic beam is damaged.
