PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a compact apparatus for inspecting a printed circuit board which can facilitate mounting and dismounting of the printed circuit board and can prevent possible injury to operator' fingers with an inspecting electrode or the like. SOLUTION: In such a condition that the printed circuit board 45 is clamped from its both sides by first and second clampers 46, 47; a clamper actuating mechanism 51 nearly linearly retracts at least one of the first and second clampers 46, 47 in a direction nearly perpendicular to the board 45 and going away from the other clamper, and then rotates at least one of the first and second clampers 46, 47 to be retracted away from the other clamper, whereby the mechanism retracts at least one of the first and second clampers 46, 47 from a clamp position to a retraction position. The apparatus can relatively easily mount or dismount the board 45 on or from one clamper 46 without being hindered by the other clamper 47 while eliminating the need for retracting the first or second clamper 46 or 47 very largely.
