[0023] After the crown probe 10 is pressurized, the needle tube 1 moves along the positioning rod 5 to squeeze the compression spring 9. A high-precision positioning mold is used to accurately place the spring probe at the predetermined position to determine the positions of the eight rivet points 3, which greatly improves the connection density and complexity between the probe and the test circuit, meets higher-level test requirements, reduces electrical connection problems caused by position deviation, improves test accuracy, and improves the reliability of the spring probe in long-term use and complex test environments.
