The film thickness test part 2 comprises a contact point 211 for contacting the surface of the circuit board to be tested 8. In the at least three film thickness test parts 2, there are at least three coplanar contact points 211, and the at least three coplanar contact points 211 are not collinear.

[0037] According to the technical features, the circuit board detection device has the following advantages.

On the other hand, the contacts 211 of at least three of the plurality of film thickness testing parts 2 are arranged coplanarly and non-collinearly. In this way, the film thickness value of the circuit board to be tested can be directly obtained by the film thickness testing part 2, and the contacts 211 of the at least three of the plurality of film thickness testing parts 2 are arranged coplanarly and non-collinearly.
