Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a test probe for mating with a connector in the direction of probe insertion, comprising: a housing; an outer contact portion supported by the housing and extending away from the housing, the outer contact portion being elastically Deformable outer biasing means supports and is adapted to be biased substantially at right angles to the probe insertion direction; and at least one contact assurance means conductively connects the outer contact portion to the housing. Background technique
[0002] Test probes are used for functional testing of printed circuit boards (PCBs). A variety of tip types and materials are available to suit nearly every application. In order to electrically connect the PCB to the probes, a connector is mounted on the PCB. As the size of integrated circuit components decreases and the packing density on printed circuit boards increases, the remaining space for housing connectors decreases. In this way, co...
