Abstract:
A probe card for an apparatus for testing electronic devices comprises at least one probe head, a plurality of contact probes housed within the probe head, each contact probe having at least one contact tip suitable to abut against contact pads of a device to be tested, a supporting plate of the probe head, an interface plate, a stiffener associating the supporting plate and the interface plate, a plurality of connecting elements with clearance disposed between the supporting plate and the interface plate and housed in a floating manner in a plurality of respective seats made in the supporting plate, and a plurality of connecting elements without clearance disposed between the interface plate and the stiffener.
Abstract:
A probe card for a testing apparatus of electronic devices comprises a probe head housing a plurality of contact probes, each contact probe having at least one contact tip adapted to abut onto contact pads of a device under test, as well as a main support and an intermediate support connected to the main support and adapted to realize a spatial transformation of distances between contact pads on its opposite faces as a space transformer, the probe card suitably also comprising at least one connecting element adapted to link the space transformer and the main support, this connecting element having a substantially rod-like body and being equipped with a first end portion comprising at least one terminal section adapted to be engaged in a corresponding housing realized in the space transformer and with a second terminal portion adapted to abut onto an abutment element linked to the main support.
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.
