    Abstract: A testing head for testing a device includes a couple of plate-like supports separated from each other by a suitable gap and provided with respective guide holes to slidably house a plurality of contact probes, each including a rod-like body extending along a preset longitudinal axis between a first and second ends, the first end being a contact tip that abuts a contact pad of the device and the second end being a contact head that abuts a contact pad of a space transformer. At least one of the supports comprises a couple of guides that are parallel to each other and separated by an additional gap and provided with corresponding guide holes. Each contact probe comprises a protruding element or stopper originating from a lateral wall and realized in correspondence of one wall of a guide hole of the guides contacting the lateral wall of the contact probe.

    Abstract: A probe card for a testing apparatus of electronic devices comprises at least one testing head which houses a plurality of contact probes, each contact probe having at least one contact tip suitable to abut onto contact pads of a device under test, and a support plate of the testing head associated with a stiffener and an intermediate support, connected to the support plate and suitable to provide a spatial transformation of the distances between contact pads made on the opposite sides thereof. Conveniently, the probe card comprises a support element which is joined to the intermediate support, this support element being made by means of a material having a greater stiffness than the intermediate support, thereby being able to provide local micro rectifications of the intermediate support.

    Abstract: A probe head for testing the operation of a device under test is disclosed. The probe head has a plurality of contact probes including a body extending along a longitudinal axis adapted to contact respective contact pads and having a substantially square or rectangular-shaped cross section, and a guide lying in a plane and provided with guide holes having a substantially square or rectangular-shaped cross section for slidingly housing the contact probes. In the plane of the guide the cross section of the guide holes and the cross section of the contact probes are rotated relative to each other around the longitudinal axis and have respective different orientations with respect to a reference system in the plane, so that an edge of the body is mechanically interfering with a corresponding wall of the guide holes The probe head also has a conductive portion formed at the guide and/or formed at another guide of the probe head being adapted to contact and short-circuit a corresponding group of contact probes.
