Abstract:
A vertical probe head includes upper and lower die units having upper and lower through holes, and probes each including a body portion between the die units, tail and head portion installation parts in the upper and lower through holes respectively, and a head portion contact part for electrically contacting a device under test. The probes include a pair of signal probes including at least one distinctive probe, for which, the body portion is smaller in width than the head portion installation part, and a body portion center line is deviated from a head portion installation part center line toward the probe paired thereto. For the paired probes, a head portion contact part pitch is larger than a body portion pitch for matching a large-pitch high-speed differential pair of the device under test, great impedance matching effect, and consistent contact force and stable elasticity of the probes in operation.
