An automatic switching mechanism is controlled by a probe card independent from a tester without limitation of the number of control signals from the tester. A probe card and an inspection apparatus include probes to be brought into contact with electrodes of inspection targets and a power supply channel electrically connecting the probes to a tester. The automatic switching mechanism divides each of the power supply channels into a plurality of power supply wiring portions, which are respectively connected to the probes; and shuts off the power supply wiring responsive to electrical fluctuation such as overcurrent. An electrical fluctuation detection mechanism detects an electrical fluctuation due to a defective product among the inspection targets. A control mechanism, responsive to detection of an electrical fluctuation, shuts off the power supply wiring portion if the electrical fluctuation is caused by the automatic switching mechanism.
