The probe card assembly includes a substrate having a plurality of through-holes contained therein and a plurality of electrical contact elements. Each of the plurality of electrical contact elements has characteristics of both a torsional beam and a cantilever beam design and is configured to scrub a test pad associated with the electronic device in two directions concurrently. The plurality of electrical contacts is configured to be magnetically aligned to the substrate. Each of the plurality of electrical contact elements is further configured to be removably adhered to the substrate thus allowing easy field replacement of individual electrical contact elements. | 10-30-2008 |
