摘要： A contact structure for establishing electrical connection with contact targets. The contact structure is formed of a contactor carrier and a plurality of contactors attached to a contactor adapter. The contactor adapter is inserted in a slot of the contactor carrier, thereby locking the contactors on the contactor carrier. The contactor has an upper end having a cut-out to engage fit in contactor adapter, a lower end oriented in a direction opposite to the upper end and functions as a contact point for electrical connection with a contact target, and a diagonal portion provided between the upper end and the lower end to function as a spring.

摘要： A probe contact system is capable of adjusting distances between tips of the contactors and contact targets with simple and low cost mechanism. The probe contact system includes a contact substrate having a large number of contactors, a probe card for fixedly mounting the contact substrate for establishing electrical communication between the contactors and a test system, a probe card ring attached to a frame of the probe contact system for mechanically coupling the probe card to the frame, and a plurality of adjustment members for up/down moving the probe card relative to the probe card ring at three or more locations on the probe card. Each of the adjustment members is housed within a through hole formed on the probe card.

摘要： A method of producing a contact structure for establishing electrical connection with contact targets. The contact structure is formed of a contact substrate and a plurality of contactors. The contactor is uniformly formed of conductive material and has an intermediate portion which is inserted in the through hole provided on the contact substrate in a vertical direction, a contact portion which is connected to the intermediate portion and positioned at one end of the contactor to function as a contact point for electrical connection with a contact target, and a base portion which is provided at other end of the contactor, and a spring portion which is substantially straight and upwardly inclined relative to the surface of the contact substrate and provided between the base portion and the intermediate portion.
