Abstract

See full text

A test probe assembly for testing an integrated circuit (IC) device having contact pads deployed in a predetermined pattern in a common plane. The assembly includes a contactor formed by a flexible film of dielectric material having a rectangular planar central zone from whose corners extend radial slots to define suspension quadrants. Probe contacts formed on the undersurface of the central zone in a matching pattern are connected to probe terminals on the margins of the quadrants. The quadrants are marginally supported on corresponding branches of a mounting frame whereby the central zone sags below the frame which surrounds a central port in a printed circuit board, the port exposing the central zone to the IC device to be tested.
