  • Patent number: 9733299
    Abstract: An inspection jig may include a frame, an electrode body provided with electrodes, conductive contactors having a wire shape, a support block having a facing surface opposite to which an inspection circuit board is disposed, guiding one ends of the contactors to the inspection points of the circuit board mounted on the facing surface, guiding other ends to the electrodes, and configured to move relatively to the frame in a moving direction which crosses the facing surface, biasing parts configured to bias the support block in a direction moving away from the electrode body and close to the circuit board, and a regulating plate disposed between the support block and the frame so as to extend in a direction from the support block to the frame, having elasticity, and having regulation of deformation in a first direction which is parallel to the facing surface and which crosses the extending direction.

  • Publication number: 20070264878
    Abstract: A probe and a testing head including the probe is used for inspecting electric characteristics of a wiring pattern of circuit board. The testing head includes a guiding member having a first guiding base having a first through hole, and a second guiding base arranged to face the first guiding base with a gap defined therebetween and having a second through hole aligned with the first through hole. The probe includes a first pin body having a measuring end arranged to be in contact with the circuit board, a measuring-end side of the first pin body is slidably supported in the first through hole of the first guiding base and the other-end side is slidably supported in the second through hole of the second guiding base. The probe also includes a second pin body arranged coaxial with the first pin body and supported in the second through hole. The second pin has one end directed to the other end of the first pin body and an external connection end to be connected to an electrode.
