Abstract

A capacitor detection system and an active-type pin-diverging module thereof are disclosed. The active-type pin-diverging module is applied to two conductive pins of a capacitor, and active-type pin-diverging module includes a base structure and a swingable structure. The swingable structure is swingably disposed on the base structure, and the swingable structure includes two swingable elements. The two conductive pins of the capacitor respectively pass through two through holes of a seat board, and each conductive pin has a lateral contact surface. The two swingable elements concurrently slidably contact the two lateral contact surfaces of the two conductive pins of the capacitor so as to diverge the two conductive pins of the capacitor, and the seat board is held by the two diverged conductive pins so as to prevent the seat board from being separated from the capacitor.
