CONTACTING STATION FOR TESTING TEST SAMPLES UNDER THERMAL CONDITIONS

摘要

The invention relates to an improved contacting station with the following features: the contact and/or measuring needles are at least split into two and comprise transfer needles (17) that are closer to the support and/or the workpiece carrier (9, 10), the rear ends (17a) of said transfer needles adjoining separate contact pins (117). For carrying out a measurement on a test sample (13), the contact pins (117) and the transfer needles (17) can be adjusted in such a manner that a contact pin (117) is mechanically and electrically contacted with a transfer needle (17) associated therewith. The transfer needles (17) and the contact pins (117) can be displaced relative to a measuring position to an initial and rest position in which the contact pins (117) are off-set from the transfer needles (17) while defining an insulating distance (35).
