In addition, in the case of mass-produced products, we create emulators that are compatible with each PCB.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) In this conventional testing method, it is necessary to test between the terminals of each circuit element or between each wiring, so when testing for continuity, it is necessary to check the continuity between the terminals. This is the main thing, and all terminals other than the terminals that should be electrically connected are checked. Therefore, when checking for excess wiring or incorrect wiring in a circuit, it is necessary to check each terminal starting from one determined terminal and moving toward all the terminals that should not be electrically connected.

However, this inspection not only requires a large number of inspection points (between terminals) and a large amount of time, but also
For example, when inspecting large printed circuit boards used in computers, etc. without using a dedicated emulator, the number of terminals (through holes, etc.) is in the thousands (for example, 3000). In order to check for redundant or misplaced terminals, it is necessary to perform a continuity check between that terminal and all of the remaining terminals (for example, 2999 terminals). For this reason, the reality is that only the minimum necessary continuity test is performed, that is, only the presence or absence of wiring at the location where it should be wired.

However, short circuits, unnecessary connections, or disconnections within the circuit can make the circuit function unstable and cause the device to malfunction. Furthermore, if there is a short circuit or unnecessary connection, the parts used may burn out. Therefore, in order to prevent such accidents, it is desirable to discover short circuits, excess wiring, incorrect wiring, etc. during inspection. Also, if you manufacture an emulator that is compatible with each PCB and check the PCB, it is possible to check between all the desired points, but manufacturing this emulator costs a lot of money, and the
When the CB is slightly changed, it is necessary to change the software and hardware of the emulator, and this costs a lot of money.

(Function) Therefore, when a check voltage is applied between the electric circuit and the electrode plate, current flows not only to the terminals that should be conductive but also to the terminals that are conductive due to short circuits, excessive wiring, or incorrect wiring, and the current flows to the test paper. The contained reactants are electrolyzed to cause a coloring or color-changing reaction, and this coloring or color-changing reaction makes it possible to visually confirm whether or not electricity is being applied. Moreover, this coloring or discoloration reaction occurs when there is a short circuit, as the current flowing is larger than when the current is normally flowing, so the degree of coloring is darker, and unnecessary connections such as incorrect wiring can be easily identified by comparing with the wiring diagram. .

In the IC package 8, eight terminal bins 5 labeled 'l'1 to T8 are lined up, the leftmost terminal bins Tl and T2 are connected by printed wiring, and the other terminals'1'3 to T8 are connected to 'r1'. .. It is assumed that it is not connected to T2. In this electric circuit,
When the (-) pole of the DC power supply 9 is connected to the electrode plate 3 and the (+) pole is brought into contact with the T1 terminal, 71. of the terminal bin 5 is connected. From the contact point 6.7 between T2 and the test paper, a current flows through the test paper 1 and the conductive rubber 2 in the thickness direction toward the electrode plate 3.

Since the conductive rubber 2 does not have much electrical resistance in the thickness direction, electricity is applied from the underlying electrode plate 3. At this time, electrolysis occurs in the potassium iodide aqueous solution contained in the test paper 1. That is, the TI of test strip 1 and terminal pin 5
, at the contact points 6 and 7 of T2, iodine ions are separated as iodine and appear brown.If Dentele is pre-contained in the IE potassium iodide aqueous solution, it will be possible to detect the site where electrolysis occurs, in this case the test The iodine-starch reaction at the contact point 6.7 between the Ti and T2 of the paper 1 and the terminal pin 5 increases the detection sensitivity compared to the case of using only potassium iodide, and also causes a blue or purple color change. Also, depending on the type of starch, there are some that exhibit red, reddish-brown, and brown colors. In addition, if you vaporize the discolored potassium iodide by heating only the discoloration point with the tip of an electric iron, etc., and then replenishing the water, the remaining undecomposed potassium iodide will be dispersed and can be reused. - Tests can be continued without replacing test strips every time the test is performed.

In this example, the voltage of the DC power supply 9 required for electrolysis of potassium iodine is about 0.7V, and the current value is several μ.
A, and when electrolysis occurs, a visually visible color change (color development) occurs at the reaction site. Therefore, a circuit check can be performed using a test current smaller than the current or voltage flowing in the electronic circuit to be tested.

Coloring may appear on other terminals even though the connections are not unnecessary. In such a case, by appropriately adjusting the energization time (inspection time), the voltage of the DC power supply 9, the value of the resistor connected in series with the power supply 9 to limit the current, etc., it is possible to reduce the connection between conductors and the circuit components. They can be distinguished by making a difference in the value of the current that flows through them. Since a difference in the degree of color development appears depending on the difference in current, it is often possible to distinguish between unnecessary connections and current passing through the component.

In addition, since iodine has a relatively weak activity, it has little chemical effect on the circuit board 4, etc., so the terminal pins 5, etc. are brought into direct contact with the test paper, but there is no conductivity between the test paper 1 and the PCB 4. By interposing the film 10 or the like, direct contact between the electrolyte and the circuit components may be avoided, and electrolysis may be caused in a state where chemical influence on the PCB 4 is blocked.

Furthermore, soldering between the conductive rubber 2 and the test paper 1, as well as the terminal pins 5 on the printed circuit board and other parts of the circuit board, generates electromotive force, although it is weak, because there is a battery action between the parts and the test paper 1. occurs. In this case as well, a coloring reaction occurs due to electrolysis caused by a weak self-electromotive force, but since there is more flow in areas where there is a short circuit or normal conduction than in areas where there is not, discrimination is made based on the color density < S light). can do.

The voltage of the inspection DC power supply 9 is appropriately determined depending on the type of substance used, that is, the type of substance that causes a visible reaction due to electrolysis. By setting the voltage to be lower than the forward voltage, it becomes possible to perform an appropriate continuity test. In this case, the voltage of the DC power supply 9 is lower than the forward voltage of the semiconductor, and no current flows through the semiconductor, which is only a conductor. Therefore, coloring (electrolysis) does not occur in the semiconductor portion, and coloring occurs only in the conducting portion of the conductor, so that the conductive state can be determined reliably and easily.

When this method is used for analog circuits, the degree of color development changes depending on the electric current passing through the test paper 1, so the degree of shading can be used as a basis for determining the state of the circuit. However, in the case of components with high input impedance, 44:a flows into the component through the test paper 1 and affects the circuit operation, so care must be taken. Particular attention should be paid to FET input type parts.

(Effects of the Invention) As is clear from the above explanation, the method for testing an electronic circuit of the present invention can confirm whether a terminal to be tested and another terminal in a conductive state are connected by a coloring reaction caused by electrolysis. Therefore, it is possible to easily and reliably detect over-placement, wrong-placement, short-circuiting, and disconnection of electric circuits, which were difficult in conventional inspections, in a short time. In particular, when potassium iodide is used as a reactant contained in the test strip, it is suitable for checking continuity in digital circuits because it operates with a small current and low voltage.
