PROBE-HEAD FOR ELECTRICAL DEVICE INSPECTION AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF
20250341541 · 2025-11-06 ·

Disclosed is a probe-head capable of simultaneously inspecting a plurality of devices under test. The probe head includes an elastic body formed by laminating a plurality of elastic layers, with an electrode portion embedded therein. This structure efficiently absorbs shock or load that occurs during contact with the devices under test, preventing damage to both the devices and the probe head. Furthermore, the present invention allows for the simultaneous inspection of multiple electrical devices, significantly reducing inspection time. Additionally, independent elasticity between the probe pins improves inspection stability and reliability.
