Dual Tip Test Probe Assembly

摘要

A dual tip test probe assembly for use in both cantilever and vertical probe applications includes first and second elongated test probes, each having a body portion and a tip portion with a tip configured to make contact with a device under test. An electrically-insulating material is disposed between but not in contact with the body portions of the first and second elongated test probes to electrically isolate the first and second elongated test probes. The first and second elongated test probes are held in alignment with respect to each other so that the tip of the first elongated test probe is adjacent to and not in contact with the tip of the second elongated test probe for making simultaneous contact with the device under test. The dual tip test probe assembly provides a low inductance and a small, stable footprint for testing small and/or non-flat test points.
