The fixing ring is provided with a hole and the outer wall of its bottom is used for connecting the probes. The fixing ring is spaced from the probes in a distance so that when the fixing ring is inserted through a hole of the base plate, the terminal ends of main bodies of the probes are located under the hole while the anterior ends are electronically connected with the base plate or outer circuit. The fixing member is inserted through the hole of the fixing ring, the terminal end of which protrudes out of the hole so that a micro strip line is formed between the terminal end of the fixing member and the terminal ends of the probes. | 02-26-2009 |
20120013358 | PROBING APPARATUS FOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT TESTING - A probing apparatus for integrated circuit testing at least includes a substrate, a probe body and a bypass capacitor. The substrate is fixed in an external conductor after an internal conductor is filled with an insulating material. One end of the substrate has a section, so that both the internal conductor and the insulating material are exposed on the section. One end of the probe body is electrically connected to the internal conductor exposed on the section. A tip end of the probe body is used for contacting a pad of an element to be tested. The bypass capacitor has a first electrode terminal and a second electrode terminal. The first electrode terminal is electrically connected to the probe body, and the second electrode terminal is connected to the external conductor at the end of the substrate. | 01-19-2012 |
