Abstract
A probe device is mounted on a circuit provided with a holder mountable to a circuit board testing apparatus, a contact needle attachable to the holder. The contact needle is operable to resiliently bend in a specified direction immediately after coming into contact with a circuit board. The bending absorbs a contact impact to ensure accurate measurement.
